Members Mark Sweat Pants
Early in our relationship, my husband and I used to go shopping together at our local Sam’s Club. (Clearly, we knew how to get the romance going.)I was new to and made the mistake of thinking that anything for sale within the huge store must be cheaper than at other stores.After a couple of bad missteps — such as not finishing the ginormous container of strawberries before they went bad, and discovering that each razor replacement in the 12-pack I bought were the same cost as their 4-pack brethren at Target— I learned to be more careful about my warehouse club purchases. I’d check unit prices, keep better track of how much I spent at the regular grocery store, and go to Sam’s with a specific list of what I needed.It’s also important to remember that some purchases will (almost) never be worthwhile at the warehouse club.
Here are six examples of what not to buy at your warehouse club: 1. Toilet paperEven though you can generally find the best deal on paper products at a warehouse club, it is not the best place to buy TP.
According to, that’s because any item used on a daily basis will be offered with a deep discount pretty much anywhere it’s sold.In particular, usually goes on sale the first and third week of every month at your local grocery store. Add a coupon to the sale price, and you’ll definitely be paying less if you buy it at the supermarket. MilkThis is another staple you don’t want to buy at your warehouse club. Groceries and discount stores keep their milk prices low and/or put it on sale often since most families buy some every week. When added to the fact that a bulk milk purchase might go bad before you have a chance to drink it all, it makes more sense to get your milk on sale from your regular store. DiapersThis seems like a smart item to buy in bulk: diapers don’t spoil, and you can generally assume Junior will be wearing the same size for a couple months at a time.It turns out, however, that the cost four cents more per diaper than the generic brands offered by Target and Wal-Mart.
CondimentsIf you’ve ever run out of ketchup on burger night, you might be tempted to buy a drum of the stuff next time you stop at. But most condiments are only good for six months to a year, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll use up all that mustard or ketchup before it goes to the dark side.
Laundry suppliesWhile liquid detergent and bleach are generally cheaper per ounce at the warehouse clubs, it’s important to remember there is a shelf life for these products. Generally, liquid detergent and bleach are good for about six months. (If you use powdered detergent, however, it’ll last longer and may make the bulk purchase worthwhile.)As for drying your clothes, Forbes found that dryer sheets were at Target and Wal-Mart than at Sam’s Club.

SunscreenUnless you’re a member of Jim Gaffigan’s famously pale brood, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to use a warehouse club sized bottle of sunscreen before it reaches its expiration date. In addition, you can save more money on sunscreen by timing your purchase to coincide with your local pharmacy’s sales cycle, along with using a coupon.What other items do you avoid buying at the warehouse club?Tagged as:,Editor's Note: Did you know about the service called? For $5 a month, they send you recipes of delicious, healthy, yet cheap food that costs just $5 a meal.Several of my friends signed up and they are able to eat at home more because the instructions are easy to follow, making everything convenient. The deal also comes with grocery shopping lists, which saves them so much time. And you too may be able to save more and become healthier at the same time. I’m sorry Emily but you really have no clue what buying in bulk means! If you compare prices regularly with other stores is clearly that Sam’s Club most of the time is way cheaper!
I do groceries shopping every week at Sam’s and Meijer because they are very close to my home and on my way out of work. I’m always comparing milk prices, toilet paper, laundry supplies and other items and only a couple times a year you will find some of these items cheaper at other stores than Sam’s club. You are clearly forgetting that quality matters to some people!
I could buy a lot of stuff at the Dollar store or generic items and spend half of the money I spend each week at Sam’s but I’m certainly sure I would have to spend that extra money with the Doctor! Read the ingredients of the products before comparing them!
Taste the milk at Kmart or not even that, just pour it in a glass and see the difference in the quality!!! I completely disagree. If you are shopping at Costco or Sams in the first place, you better be buying for a family or dont even go in. Having said that Why should it take more than 6 months for a FAMILY to go through a Costco sized bottle of ketchup?I buy everything I can at Costco. Here in Seattle, Costco’s headquarters, there are stores every 5 miles or so, and carry everything I would need.
Oh, and Consumer’s Reports has tested Costco’s HD Kirkland Laundry soap, and it’s the best you can buy. The cost to our communities and to all workers in general of buying ANYTHING at Sam’s and Walmart is not even close to captured in their “low prices.” We all actually subsidize what should be considered their criminality in more ways than can be discussed in a forum like this.
It’s one thing to be NON-union – but to be actively ANTI-union as the largest and most profitable retailer in the U.S. Is harmful to all workers including professionals.

The speed of the download also depends on your modem speed, internet traffic levels,and the speed of the computer sending the download. Special software can compress the files to make them smaller without losiiiiing a bit of essential information.
Shop at Costco – at least they have some semblance of honor – and they have great prices too! You have to know your prices to do well at Sams Club. The same type of product may be listed by ounces, serving size, units, or something else – all for the same product like laundry soap. It makes it harder to compare prices.
Things also change in value. Diapers were FANTASTIC when Walmart didn’t have a store brand – not so much now.
What I find hilarious is that Sams and Walmart are run by the same people, but there are a lot of thinks cheaper at Walmart These are things I don’t even look at at Sams – canned goods, cereal, soda, office supplies, condiments, bread – these are always cheaper at the grocery store, Aldis, or Walmart, especially if you have a coupon or sale. Fruit can go bad before you eat it all.
Many of the “bulk” items today are multipacks instead of true bulk (three pack of ketchup, two boxes of cereal wrapped together, six cans of chicken wrapped together). True bulk items can be divided and parts of them vacuum packed and/or frozen to extend their life. Don’t forget to factor in the membership fee and distance driven if there isn’t a Sams Club close to you when you try to decide if you are saving money.
When I shop at my Sam’s Club I do save money on things that I would normally buy at the local grocery stores or I don’t shop for them at all. As far as ketchup & other things in that food group go, if you really believe that mustard & ketchup & pickles & such, go bad in 6 months then you are wasting your money buying them anywhere & I have a cheap bridge to sell you in Brooklyn, NY that you need right away. IT may not taste like it did 8 months ago but that depends on what you are using it for also.
The ONLY things I do not eat is the stuff that grows hair or gets green spots on them like mold on a bun or bread, & most times you can cut that off & eat the rest of the untouched part without any serious harm coming to you! This BS of “shelf life” & it will go bad in 2 weeks is a lot of BUNK!! I know of people that go thru their cupboards every two weeks & throw away something that is still very much within the span of being good until a week from that date & they throw it away & buy more of it so they can toss it in the garbage in 3 weeks anyway. I have saved over $2000.00 so far this year by having a Sam’s Club membership & buying in bulk the things I eat more of than just going to Wegmans & buying the same type of food that usually goes bad a long time before the expiration date listed on the label anyway. A lot of the processed food now-a-days is garbage before they even process it anyway, I do know that Walmart does not add any preservatives to their baked goods because they can save money that way because they think that people are going to go home & eat everything they bought that day before it goes bad. & the very next day it has all kinds of green spots & white hair growing off of it anyway. We have been buying Great Value milk & last week we returned the gallon of whole milk because it smelled bad & curdled when poured into hot water.
The expiration date was then 8 days later & it was bad then, we got a refund & then the Customer Service employee gave us another gallon of milk for free of the name brand milk they usually sell for $3.83 a gallon. & that went bad 2 days before the expiration date anyway. Byrne Dairy sucks as bad as great Value does too. I see a lot of irrelevant criticisms like Sam puts your order together.
I agree great service, but what has that got to do with saving money or this article? It’s the MATH, and I guess that’s irrelevant for some, but I do the math at the stores and some is shocking, like finding that buying 2 smaller items is.50¢ cheaper than the Supersize version on the end cap!
I think this is the point because I never by laundry detergent or paper goods at Sam’s or Costco, they are, as the article says MORE expensive, not less even tho your buying in bulk. Your really not getting a deal, your just paying more for a larger amount. Fam Dollar has name brand tide gain etc and much cheaper. I don’t know about the shelf life issue, but it sure is cheaper for the same products. And I agree sometimes buying 4 little ones is less costly than buying one huge gigantic container that eventually goes bad or foes to waste. That’s my experience.
Members Mark Grill Parts
Some things are great deals Bib Box fruit snacks or three pack cereal for example and some things are NOT. I agree with some parts of the comments,and disagree with some parts. Some-things are cheaper when purchased inbulk. I go through a lot of paper towelsand toilet paper, for example. They lastfar longer than the sizes normallyfound at Walmart, Kroger etc. Thisequates to fewer trips which reducesthe amount of petrol used which notonly saves money but reducespollution and is good for the environment.In addition, Sam’s Club prices for petrolis often cheaper than what otherplaces, ie Shell charge. I strongly agreewith the comment on name calling, whichserves no logical purpose but doesdetract from what the message isand can be quite a turn off forothers.
It depends on the family & what they use, how often, etc.I check ALL prices before I shop, anywhere. Some things are cheaper @ SAMs, some are not.Even though it is just myself & my husband, I prefer to buy in bulk, if I can. It means less trips to the store & saves time.There are some thing I will not buy anywhere else, simply because I think the product I get at SAMs is not only cheaper, but better than most I’ve bought in other stores. Their member mark brands I have tried, I’ve actually like better than name brand. One of those is canned chicken.
I make a lot if chicken salad & I like that theirs is all white meat & packed in water. It’s MUCH cheaper than other brands (size) and tastes 100 times better. If we are out & I can’t get to SAMs, we don’t eat chicken salad. LolI love their Italian Rose salsa.
It’s much cheaper in bulk & we eat quite a bit of it, as well, so it doesn’t spoil.Yes, some of their items are more expensive, but most are not.I DO NOT agree with the majority of the article.I buy most of these items & they definitely are not cheaper, elsewhere, even with a coupon. Oh – and by the way, on berries:It’s so frustrating when these go bad I stopped buying raspberries, because they go bad by the time you get home!
But try this trick:After you wash your berries, soak them in a bowl with one part apple cider vinegar to 10 parts water (filtered, of course.)Dry them completely, then store in their container (completely dry) in a green bag.This will greatly extend the life of your berries! I did this and compared side by side those soaked with the vinegar and without, and the soaked ones really lasted much longer.
The vinegar kills mold spores. We are ack to buying raspberries because of this!Last- if you have not used them all and you are running the risk of them spoiling, just freeze them. At least that way they won’t spoil, and they make delicious green smoothies for all! Rather than spend your time criticizing folks who are trying to be helpful and offer money saving tips, take the advice with a grain of salt, and use your own common sense!Prices are going to vary from store to store, warehouse club to warehouse club, and from city to city. (Ive lived in some of the most expensive areas in the country, and can tell you that common items can be cheaper in some markets, more expensive in others.)The value in an article like this is not whether it is 100% accurate for everyone’s experience everywhere, but rather that it calls attention to what you should keep in mind and consider in order to benefit.Don’t worry about arguing about whose toilet paper is cheaper where. You are all going to have different answers depending on where you shop.Instead, look at the value of this article in terms of how it CAN help you.Advice that is helpful no matter where you shop:Make lists of what you plan to buy. The easiest way to overspend is with impulse purchases, buying stuff you had not planned, and without doing your research.Check unit prices everywhere you shop of common items you always get, and keep the information in your smart phone or notebook.
Bar code scanners are also great these days for instantly checking and comparing prices on-the-spot! If you write down the best price of TP at Target and your grocery store, you can compare it to the bulk purchase at the club stores.the best way to save money at these club stores and discount places is to arm yourself with information!Generally, it’s best to buy items at club stores you know you will be able to completely use- such as many of the people have already pointed out. YOU may not need 3 quart bottles of Katsup, but someone with 8 kids or throwing a big party might. You just can’t generalize this stuff.Keep in mind that if something like TP is the same price or comparable in your regular stores compared to buying in bulk, getting a bulk purchase COULD also save you gas money if you are driving to buy one big package rather than 4 trips to buy smaller packages.You also have to consider how you are paying: are you paying interest on a credit card (hopefully not, for TP, but something to consider!)And of course, in terms of bulk items, are you buying more than you would really need?And of course, compare sale prices and and factor all this in. Only you can decide what makes sense for you and your household.
Arguing with complete strangers on a website debating your personal experiences is not going to be useful to your wallet. But thinking through your purchases carefully, doing your own market research, and using common sense WILL allow you to save yourself money. This article was poorly researched and presented. There are some things that are more expensive at Sams Club, like some canned goods, and there are other items as well. This article seems more like an attack on wholesale retailers more than anything while completely dismissing the frugal, smart American shopper. I wonder who this piece was really targeting?
Personally, I’ve saved hundreds buying baby items, #pampers and such. Of course those people who can’t afford the yearly memberships, will feel a little better about being poor after reading this price of journalism. I have a family of 10, yes 10!! I buy several things at SAMs warehouse. They are life savers for me. I buy a big can of ketchup every month, laundry items, things like sugar 25 lb.I save a lot because we need the big stuff.
Our milk is 80 cents cheaper then Walmarts.i buy 10 cans of tuna for 8.49,same for can cream. I think you have to consider how much you need then buy according.I buy Scott’s toilet paper because kids love to roll a lot and it plugs my lines. Since I switched haven’t had any trouble. Because no matter how thick it is they still roll the same.
Happy shopping out there. To each his own. The article was probably well intentioned but each person has to shop according to their own household needs, budget and usage. We are now a family of 5 but I began shopping at Sams Club when it was just my mother and I and see still saw a savings. Toilet paper would last us about 6 months, all detergent, body wash, etc. Was purchased there.
Cooking oil easily lasted us a year, Uncle Bens Rice lasted about 3 months. Margerine – 2 months, etc. We always had plenty and if neighbors were in need, we were able to share, donate to the local food pantry and put in the food baskets at our church to help families in need. Before I had children we didn’t but milk there because we only used it for cooking, neither of us drank it and you had to purchase 2 gallons at a time. Now you can but just 1 but my grandson drinks it like there is a cow in the backyard.
Off brand or store brand diapers may not be cheaper, I don’t know but Huggies and Luvs certainly are cheaper there than anywhere I’ve been with them on sale and a dollar coupon. There is not a one size fits all when it comes to shopping or saving money. Some people don’t clip. I do, but not as much nor as often add is like to, and I take my coupons with me to Sams. I also shopping at BJs.
Haven’t tried Costco yet though. Happy Shopping, Happier Saving!
