I'm unattached. I don't have a bevy of children and I live with my longtime partner. And to be honest, because of traveling schedules, I mostly live alone with a cat. So I never thought I would have the need to go to a wholesale store; in my mind they were for the growing families with probably a lot of boys with very large appetites and a family probably averaging 6 kids. The point being, it just seemed like I would be wasteful if I bought products from there.
Boy, was I wrong.
Sam's Club is probably the best thing to ever happen to me; yes, you have to shell out $40 for the base membership fee, and yes, there are massive amounts of products you have to, by the nature of the store, buy in bulk. But if you have the storage room, it's well worth the price. I recommend ONLY buying products you know you will use; I've bought things I use on a regular basis like paper towels, toilet paper, deodorant, frozen chicken breasts, rice, even office furniture at Sam's. The first trip alone paid for my membership fee. And boy, I do love saving money and that of course leaves my pocket book open to the other stores in this #frugalshopping series.
Now, the next argument could be: Why Sam's Club and not Costco? That is a very good question, dear reader. And honestly, I did not know originally either. So after some online research, I came to determine that Costco had better prices for baby items (diapers, and... and... ok, I really don't know what else you need for a baby. Butt wipes maybe? Johnson & Johnson shampoo? Regardless, apparently Costco is the better option for this.) And since I obviously don't have children and since Sam's Club is only a couple miles down the road from me, well, the answer was simple.
