Shopping at Price Clubs and Discount Stores

RE: Shopping at Price Clubs and Discount Stores Post By JubJub (Guest Post) (02/19/2008) I usually sign up when I need to buy a high ticket item that I have researched and usually save back at least the cost of the annual membership. Then I let the membership lapse until I need (or want something else). At the end of my membership I stock up on as many staples as I can, TP. Laundry Detergent etc.... Still end up with duplicate stuff from time to time. I have about 10 tubes of toothpaste in my closet :D Report Spam or Abuse RE: Shopping at Price Clubs and Discount Stores Post by TXBetty (27) | (12/26/2007) Contact Yes, beware of clubs. I used to work for one of them. A lot of the items back in the corner you think are marked down actually are NOT. Oftentimes they were just moved from another location but sometimes a item is the last one left and they're making room for something else. Sometimes it's a good buy; sometimes not. AND you can negotiate by asking to speak with a manager. I've seen people walk out with really good deals. Speak up because otherwise you may not be getting the bargain you think you are.

There are many things we have purchased over the years at a good savings. We get our kids DVD's and computer programs there, food, 2 mattress sets, meat (excellent), baked goods and the list goes on....but one thing I have always bought there that I love is jewelry! The membership is well worth it and we always spend enough in a year's time to justify it!

It charges a 45.00 yearly membership fee. You can make that money back very quickley if you purchase your staple items such as milk and bottled water there. Also you save plenty of money on the designer clothing, childrens PJs and swimsuits, underwear, etc. I purchased a beautiful wicker set for 1200.00 last year while other regular stores were charging up to 5,000.00 for a similar set. It definitley has it pluses!
