Nuts. I have done the unit price comparison, and buying nuts at Sam's Club is by far the cheapest option. They beat Aldi by a good bit. If you use a lot of nuts, it's a steal. My husband eats nuts for quick and easy snacks, uses them to make his favorite homemade protein bars and flavored nut mix, and eats them as salad toppings. We always run out before they go bad!
Tires. Yeah, I've bought tires at Sam's Club. They are usually a great deal, and I love that they will put them on for you right then and there. I'm a fan.
Fresh fruit. If you have a big family or are hosting a party, then absolutely shop at Sam's club for your fruit. When I'm being very frugal, I'll buy berries and freeze them for my husband's smoothies (almost always cheaper than buying frozen fruit). But for my smaller family, I found that buying fresh fruit at Sam's club often means it goes bad before we can use it.
Cheese. I love buying cheese at Sam's Club. I like fancy shredded sharp cheddar cheese, personally. I buy the 5 pound bags (which are a great deal when you look at unit price). Then I freeze the cheese in smaller ziploc baggies (or you could use a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System
-- I love mine!). Shredded cheese holds up remarkably well to freezing. I just take a baggie out of the fridge as I need it.Meat. My favorite deal at Sam's Club is the pork loin. At the club in Athens, pork loin goes on sale for $1.89 or less every couple of months. I buy multiple and have them cut the loin (which they do for free) into either smaller roasts or pork chops, which I then freeze in dinner-sized portions. This saves me a lot of money on pork.
I also buy laundry detergent, oxi clean, and Carnation Instant Breakfast at "the Club". What are some items you have found to be better deals at Sam's?
