Warehouse clubs

Here's a few tips they are mostly either about WC in general or Sam's specifically since that is what we have here.
1- Don't buy what you won't use. Even if you see a 5 lb block of cheese for $1.50 a lb it isn't a good deal if you have to throw half of it away. There are some good home vacuum sealers out there and you can get a cheap one made by Ziploc with special bags and a handheld device that takes the air out or invest in a tabletop vacuum sealer with rolls of plastic to cut for custom bags. Either way as soon as you get home or very soon after portion the items out and seal it up or else it will sit in your fridge for a month and waste away.
2- Hit the snack bar when you first get there. Where else can you get lunch or dinner for $3.00 or less and you also won't be as tempted to get the 5 lb box of cookies.
3- Get there early and check out the meats first. The meat dept takes all of the meat that is close to sell by dates and marks it down while getting ready to close so the earlier in the day the better chances you have of getting reduced for quick sale ground chuck or roasts at a discounted price and you just plan it into your menu for the week or freeze it after you get home.
4- stock up on essential items like toilet paper. What family doesn't go through a ton of TP?
5- Figure out where you are going to store everything. Under beds work for TP and trash bags but don't buy more stuff than your freezer can handle.
6- At Sam's check out the clearance section every store has one and you can find the last few of a seasonal item for up to 75% off. Look for a small C at the top right corner for clearance stuff.
7- make a friend that works there. I got 4 giant boxes of Quakes snacks for .75 a piece when we were upgrading our phones an employee told a phone person that they just put the sign up.
8- Use your membership to get discounts on travel, car buying and other services we all use. Look at the services or membership deals online.
9-Look for expensive items at your discount club. No one needs to know you got your coach bag for $200 less than what Dillard's is charging the same bags are sold by both places for majorly different prices.
10-Don't overlook store brands but ask around first or check out ratings online first so you aren't stuck with a huge amount of something you really don't like. But I actually like the Member's mark brand of wipes better than huggies or pampers wipes and they are $4 cheaper per box and come in pop up packs.
