Discount club memberships

[Edwina's Secretary]

I have a B&N membership, along with a B&N credit card. I buy books every month, and have saved a bundle - usually $1.50 to $2.00 per book, plus no S&H fees for over $25, and 5% off every purchase when using my credit card.

I don't have the credit card (I prefer one with air miles ) but I do have the B&N card. I like that I can go to the store, look around for books I might not have heard about, read a little of the book to decide -- and still get my discount.

I use it on line for books - such as for my book club - that I know I want.

I save more every year than the card costs.

I always thought Sam's prices were too high, I've been there a few times with friends. For what little I'd be saving on unit price, I'd be spending on membership fees, so it wouldn't make a difference. As far as the big tub of peanut butter, try filling 12 kongs a day and then tell me you have too much peanut butter.

I have a BJ's and Sams membership.

I shop at each about 4 times a year and I do save a lot of money.
Some items are cheaper at one store and others at the other.

BJ's is great because they offer store coupons plus you can use manufacturers coupons. Yesterday I bought a package of cotonelle toilet paper and between store coupon and manufacturer coupon, it ended up being 7$ off.

I usually stock up on:

toilet paper
paper towels
dog treats
bottled water
peanut butter
olive oil
animal crackers
dishwasher detergent
handwashing detergent
toothpaste
femminine products
meat
frozen veggies
frozen fish
EVEN eggs.... so much cheaper than even walmart.

I have also started buying diapers there too.
They are a lot cheaper that way.
