we get all our meats at SAMs - steaks, skinless chicken breast, boneless skinless chicken thighs (love these!), occasional pork loin, lean hamburger. Sometimes I get crab meat (imitation), I get the 2 pack of bread; sarahlee delight 45 calorie, chips for fiancé, veggies & fruits. How is it that the fruits and vegs at SAMs are so much better than Walmart - they're the same company. lol.
I also get Lipton iced tea bags, light ranch dressing, diet dr. pepper, sometimes skim milk if I'm low when we are there. when I'm in the mood for ham lunch meat, I get their 2 pack of Oscar Mayer smoked ham. hmm. frozen 1/2 corn cobs. that's all I can think of right off the bat.
I just recently started drinking coffee so I need to check for the coffee I like and sugar free torani syrups.
I want to see if they have tilapia - I've been getting it at Walmart and it's an okay deal, $12 and we eat it twice (4 people), but I bigger bag would be great.
i buy most of our stuff in bulk there because i can repackage it and/or freeze it....i buy meats there, along with bread, cheese slices that i repackage into smaller sizes, fruit, vegetables, dishwash liquid, laundry soap, garbage bags, toilet paper, (used to buy) diapers and wet wipes there, plus items for the kids lunches, like individual yogurts, chips, juice pouches, string cheeses, peanut butter, jelly, coffee, coffee creamer, bisquick....basically i buy at costco anything that we need a big quantity of that will not spoil fast
at walmart i buy the smaller items that we need like packets of seasoning, eggs, milk, butter, frozen veggies, different vegetables, sugar-free juice packets, smaller household items like dogfood, scotch tape, lysol spray, cans of spaghetti sauce, frozen garlic bread etc
at fred meyers here i buy the specialty things that i need from the health food section or that walmart doesnt carry, such as ground pork, pearl barley, walnuts, etc
I buy my boneless skinless chicken breasts, they're so low in calories, it's amazing lol. I also buy milk there, because it seems to go bad much later than in little grocery stores. I buy a huge bag of frozen veggies, and cereal, oh and also tomato sauce. It's much cheaper to buy the pack of 6 if you cook a lot with it. I also buy ground veal, and split it up in 5 frozen bags and seal it in the freezer until I'm ready to cook with it.
I love costco. hahahahaha

My mom has a sam's club membership which she uses to puschase her food supplies for her preschool. I use to love the hot dog's and the pizza they served there.
Costco finally started carrying organic tofu so we buy that. We also buy beer (nice local microbrews), kleenex, coffee beans, frozen fruit, dried fruit, nuts, canned beans, canned tomatoes and laundry soap. We used to buy a lot more at Costco when we ate meat. It's fun to see what everyone else buys.

Salmon! I also get my medication there (best price hands down) and my son has a Cheezit addiction. Other than that I'm not huge on buying in bulk because I live in a small condo. I did buy a 42" HD flat screen last year though. I love Costco.
What do you buy at Sams or Costco?
I love Costco.
