I do and where we live now it is called Food source. Also shop smart and final.

We have belonged to Costco for at least twenty years. It used to be that we could get in and out for under one hundred dollars. Then came the kids and we were spending about eight hundred dollars a month! Most of that was going to pre-made meals and pre-packaged snacks. I put an end to frivolous purchase three years ago when my son started going to a private high school. I packaged the snacks and made three meals in advance every Sunday so that all we had to do during the week was pop my dish in the oven for twenty five minutes. Leftovers would cover lunches. I cut our eight hundred dollar expense, at Costco, down to about four hundred dollars a month. We have an executive card that gives us cash back on our purchases which usually covers our membership and puts about thirty dollars a year into out bank account.

I'm a BJ's member but the only think I shop there for is cheese and gas. There's only two of us in the house so I don't need a 5 pound jar of mayo and most other bulk items.
-
I am a Costco and a BJ member I shop at both whenever I am in the area.
-
I shop Sams. I have shopped BJ's in the past but we get a deal on Sams membership fees. The prices on coffee, personal care and a few other items are very good.
-
I have been shopping Costco since 2001
-
I belong to BJ's. We also gave a Sam's but they don't accept manufacturers coupons and BJ's does.
-
We only have a Sam's in our area. We buy most of our gasoline there and pick up a few things in the store each month. Our 9 y.o. daughter likes to use the free-osk where you can get a free sample of various items if you scan your membership card. Earlier this summer we bought a dual grill there for under $200. It has a propane side and a charcoal/smoker side. We haven't used the smoker at all yet this year, but plan to do some ribs on it before it gets packed away when the cold weather hits.

My son is a salesman and gets an Executive Costco membership from his boss, so he gives one of the two cards he gets to us. We both go as couples, so one card is fine. Whatever we buy goes toward his annual bonus, so we both win.
-
I shop at Sam's, but I've found that some of their items aren't cheaper than a regular grocery store.
-
We love the freshly cooked rotisserie chickens at BJ's and Costco but we live close enough to both stores to be able to shop at both. We find there are certain things that are better buys at Costco and other things that are better buys at BJ's, so it's nice to be able to get to both.
-
No we don't - we tried it at Sam's but because it was 30 minutes plus away we wasted the cost of the membership. We seldom got around to going over there and weren't even sure it was a better deal compared to bogo offers at Publix and food on sale locally without spending the time and gas to go all the way over to another town.
-
I go to sams club and a place called gfs
-
No, because they sell in bulk which I don't need.
-
I shop at Costco mostly but sometimes I go to Sams Club because each one has something the other does not
-
yes..i have memberships at both sams club and costco. My hubby and I go to at least one of those places weekly.
-
We go to Sams sometime they have gotten to expense.
-
I only shop at the wholesale club if I need a bulk item. It is too pricey to shop on a regular. My kids would eat all the food in a week and we would have nothing left for the rest of the m onth.
-
I shop at Sam's Club for my business.
-
no i usually just buy what i need when i need it..
-
yes at costco, for the record i go back as far as fedco days
-
considering the high priced local grocery store here I have been going to Walmart which is 80 miles one way to shop when we go to the doctors, once in a while when I have to go to a larger town even we go to Sam's club. But now that they have a new Sam's store 120 miles away I will be going there and will also be shopping at home depot. It is the main drawback from living in a small town. That and no specialist.
-
I go to Sam's Club... Alright place... i think Costco is better with selection but not too much
-
I have never been a member of a warehouse club.I have visited Sam's Club before,but they sell most products in larger quantities than I could use.
-
still love Costco and still hate the checkouts! :thumbsup:
-
I shop at Costco. I wish I could go there more often there are always things I would like to buy there.
-
I have a sam card. I like to go there and shop. I try to buy in bulk and save a lot of money. Hope everyone has a good dayand may God bless everyone and keep you safe. :)
-
yes I do. I shop at costco and sams club.
-
They do not have a Costco or Bjs in my area and only one Sams Club but its still a pretty good drive. If there were one in my area I would consider paying a membership fee to try it out.
-
No, the closest warehouse club near me is about an hour away. I thought about it but I don't think it's worth the drive. I'm not sure but I think I do better at the nearby stores that are closer to me.
-
some things are worth it :'(
-
No, I just get what I need at the store and that way when I am out of something it will be more fresh thtan it would be if I had gotten everything at once.
-
Nope One person doesn't need that much of anything.
-
yes we god to sams club,,,, we get only things we use all the time like paper goods mostly. also mushroom soup and canned mushrooms to add to things. we don't go crazy buying things we don't need.
-
:(I had bought a coupon deal for a Sam's club membership. I have only been to a store to activate it. All of them are at least 50 miles from where I live. Never have the time to shop there and that one time that I did I didn't see any great bargans for doing so. I have since forgot to shop online with them. Even then, not such a great idea.
-
My favorite Warehouse Club to shop is Sam's they have good quality merchandise and food. When they have a sale on items it's normally a good one. I also have BJ's and Costco's in my area but I definitely love Sam's
Club. ;)
-
Not any more. When I lived on my own, I used to. I get a discounted member rate through my job, but now that I'm back with my parents after my divorce, it doesn't really make sense to. They do, however, shop at the warehouse clubs in the area.
