Surprise. I guess these places are great if you can stay focused, which I couldn't. I ended up with a lot of stuff I didn't need (t-shirts, dvds, and cute clothing that ended up in the back of my closet). Maybe it wasn't so cute in the end. <br /><br />The other thing I discovered was that I often bought too much food when I shopped there. It eventually went bad or I got tired of it. I quickly found that I was spending an additional $120 more a month by buying bulk.Too Fabulous To Be Brokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866186705630649088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973070075913025664.post-62246937981209441782010-02-26T09:49:21.801-05:002010-02-26T09:49:21.801-05:00I do think some foods or items are going to save m...I do think some foods or items are going to save me money when buying in bulk, but going into places like Sams or Costco has the tendency to cause me to spend more money on unneeded stuff. I guess I fall into their trap of the "great deals" of things I really don't need but who can pass up 100 reams of paper for $.25 a ream? That's just a silly example but really, I don't need the biggest bottle of shampoo or lotion or ketchup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
