We are now official members of Sam's Club. With an I.D. card and everything. With a picture on it that could be almost any other human female in the universe and even some of the men. But we went in to Sam's Club (similiar to B.J.'s but owned by Walmart) and the first time we went shopping there we spent over $150.00 - 72 rolls of toilet paper and 400 plastic cups and a jar of hot pepper slices that is so big it won't fit in my fridge and a box of cans of peas. And other things. Oh boy. It was fun!! But being a frugal b*tch, I wouldn't do that again. I wouldn't go in without specifics of exactly what I was buying. You see, you get in there and get swayed as you walk down the big aisle. An air hockey game, (where you put it who knows...but you can buy one!) Fake potted plants, a DVD player for just $30. and a huge flat screen tv for just $1200. and as you walk along you forget what your real mission was. To get Paper towels and dog food. I went in today with just that in mind. Paper towels and dog food and bottled water. Only thing things. We did good today, we came out with only 8 items. Five extras is not bad. Really. We added vitamin C, 3 shirts and a Jim Croce CD. Not too bad considering all the bells and whistles that was in there making us sway this way and that. Heck, we looked at microwaves, but didn't like the selection. We looked at cereal and decided two of us couldn't eat that much before the mice got to it. And that is the big problem with the warehouse stores...and us. There is only two of us. And two dogs and a cat, but only two of us to eat the food that is bought. It makes it more difficult to consume the boxes of cereal or frozen food or large jar of sliced hot peppers....with only two eating. They are a great place for large families or medium families or any family. But for just a couple, we will probably stick to the paperware and pet food. And, I guess, an occasional CD or DVD or possibly electronic item. But it is fun to bring home a bag of dogfood and know I won't have to lug it around for a couple/few weeks.
