Sam’s Club is having a free entrance this weekend from August 3rd through August 5th. I have saved a lot of money buying in bulk from Sam’s Club.
Check out my website for my shopping list for the best prices at Sam’s Club.

This Week’s Frugal Accomplishments
We celebrated Elsa’s birthday this week. For decorations, my son made a doily banner using doilies that my sister-in-law had given to me and some crochet thread (for the string) that had come from my grandmother. I left the ranunculus on the table that I had purchased at the nursery last week. They were a…

Earlier this year, we purchased some Cornish Cross chickens with a friend (note: those are not Cornish Cross in the image above!) These are large chickens that are grown for their meat that grow to full size in 10 weeks–half the time of a bird raised for eggs. The birds are very large; females can…

I made birthday presents for Ivory using felt, embroidery thread, and stuffing that I had on hand. We enjoyed an alfresco meal outside. Winter made brownies and my parents brought ice cream (The number 2 candle is one we’ve used for each of our children as they have turned 2). I cut Swiss chard, snow…
This Week’s Goals
We took last week off of school when it became obvious on Monday that our week was going to go a bit differently than I thought. We finished butchering chickens on Monday, I spent several days cutting them up for the freezer, and we had an impromptu garage sale on Friday morning. This week we’re…

I cut roses and larkspur from the garden and brought them in. I made a blue skirt for Wren using fabric from my grandmother’s stash. I gave Elsa a haircut. I bobbed her hair. I picked peaches from our tree. I also harvested the first of the blackberries, Swiss chard, bolted lettuce, green onions, sugar…
I wish I could! 🙂
I wonder what resources for bulk food purchases exist in Finland. Does anyone know?
Does Costco ever do this?
Hi!I love Sam’s Club. I have a plus membership it is really worth it.Pat
For individuals – none. We have bulk stores, yes, but you can make purchases only if you have a cafe or a restaurant or any kind of business (you need a business serial number for the card). They are just bulk stores, selling stuff in bigger packages, but the prices are quite normal. So, when we happen to have something with reduced price in a grocerie store there is a sign *Not for re-sellers* That doen’t mean that the sale is a good deal but the bulk prices are so high… 😀
I have never heard of them doing this. Perhaps someone else will know. Their prices are very similar on many staples, but they also carry many different things from one another, and their membership prices are vastly different.
I’d like to add that we get grain in bulk from Farmer’s Market (I grind my whole wheat flour) I think the price is very good, 0,70€/kg for organic wheat -> about 41 cents/lb
I went to this, spent way too much money, and ended up joining. The price was $40 with a $10 gift card if I joined today (probably this weekend) and 25 box tops (?, oh well, we’ll take them for my daughter’s old elementary school). While I can get some things for less when they are on sale, they have some things we like, such as the frozen Angus cheeseburgers on a bun for about $1.25 each (8 in a box for $10). I’m a single mom who works outside the home and the burgers are great when my teenage daughter gets home from school and is starving (at least she thinks so). Their bulk yeast works very well and I just keep it in the freezer until I need it. The bread flour is a good deal, too.I really admire those of you who grind your own wheat and make almost everything from scratch, but that just isn’t happening in our house due to time available so buying some things in bulk (granola bars for my daughter to take to school for when the hunger pangs hit mid-morning) is really helpful.
