We belong to Sam's Club. Helps when we need tires. Also they have some over the counter medications that are cheaper than Wal-Mart.

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

We belong to Costco and we really can save money on all kinds of things. But I often wonder if we don't end up loosing money on all the impulse buying we do...

We belong to Sam's Club. There DVD's are cheaper than in other places and what we save on DVD's in a year will more than pay my membership fees!

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

BJ's but, we have not been in there for a couple of months. One time I went in and priced a bunch of food items and then went over to my grocery store and compared. No savings at all at BJ's plus you have to buy those big packages of everything. I go in every now and then to price hard goods since then but, have not bought anything there in some time. My membership runs out next month and I do not think I'm going to renew. There is a Sam's, but that's a 20 mile one way trip to get to.

Sam's Club, although we don't buy much there other than gas and phone cards. Do you know their phone cards are 3.14 cents a minute? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

We belong to BJ's. We use it primarily when we have parties and to buy shampoo, soap, etc..

Cheap movies and books too! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

We used to belong to Sam's Club, but we just weren't coming out ahead. There's only two of us, so the economy sized items were just too much. I go with my mom (she still belongs) now if we do need something.

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

I belong to Sams but don't go too often since I live alone. I buy video tapes, film and computer paper. I used to buy stuff for my printer but were I had the printer cleaned they have refilled ones that are great and cheaper. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

No, but I work for a wholesale printer. We print business cards, letterhead and envelopes for other printing companies and print brokers all over the country. Part of my job is proofing, it's kinda neat reading everyone's business cards. You'd be surprised what some people put on theirs! [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]

Re: It\'s all about saving money, right?

We belong to Sam's and Costco. I buy gas there. It's usually about 7 cents a gallon cheaper than elsewhere. Even tho there are just two of us, we feel that we still save by going there. we don't just buy food, also garden supplies, books, etc.

Do you belong to a wholesale club? If so, which one?
