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
I really enjoy reading about all of the free food that everyone is canning each week! I look forward to reading your comments on this post each week. I harvested grape leaves from the garden to make stuffed grape leaves. I picked basil, sage, rosemary and parsley from the garden to use in cooking this…
This Week’s Goals
Completed pillow from last week’s goals is on the left. The pillow was made from unbleached muslin that I got for free from my grandmother’s stash. The stuffing was part of an old bed pillow. The pillow cover was made from drop cloth, and I hand-embroidered a red “S” on it. I printed out the…

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…

I picked lettuce, Swiss chard, green onions, snow peas, strawberries, and chives from the garden this week. I made several green salads, and I made a fig vinaigrette dressing with home-canned fig jam. I wasn’t planning on grocery shopping this week, but I found out about some amazing deals on Monday. I bought split (bone-in)…

October Speaking Engagements
I have two speaking engagements coming up in October. These events are free to attend. I’ll be speaking later this month (here in Las Vegas) on Eating for .40 a Day. If you’re interested, I’d love to see you there! This first class is the long version. If you want details about how we’ve cut…
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.
