We had a Sam`s Club membership but we`re 1 1/2 hours away so we didn`t go very often. Wasn`t worth it for us.

Wonderful stuff, let us know when you pay off MC will post congrats or something as that is a great accomplishment, little steps all add up. It's $600.00 a month here for gas for the vehicles and keep in mind I personally go out only once a week within my 20 minute comfort zone, eek crazyness!
It's wonderful to be prepared and not have bills especially at Christmas time, great job!
Just did my local groceries and I'm sitting on the fence with my results......

I never went to a Sam's club.
I think all of these things are hit and miss. I know some people who love Costco's meat and produce. Personally most of the time I find their produce over prices and hit and miss on the qaulity.
Dairy products are an amazing price at Costco. We do not go through alot of them with only 2 of us in the house so I can usually buy them on sale, but if we ever run low Costco is the place to go.
You do really need to avoid temptation though. I can go in get what I want and leave but I find if I am shopping with someone else who wants to look around that is when I over buy. I think the my impatients and boredum kick in because that is when I start looking at everything and think oh that might be yummy.

I have a membership to Costco and I only use it for certain things... like maple syrup, organic frozen corn and frozen peas, some organic food (like Annie's pasta and shells- it is sooooo cheap there! 16 boxes for $13.00), egg rolls (the only ones I can find pre made without polypropylene glycol, dextrose or dextrine in them), gas, workbooks for DS and sometimes clothing. We are a VERY green family so we are very picky about what we buy to eat and use in the house. Do I get my money's worth out of membership with the savings- yes. Just. I only go once a month.
On another note- just came back from No Frills- and IT WAS A ZOO!!!!ROAK a Huggies or Pampers code to my local pregnancy centre- toys, clothes, food & diapers always needed!

Oh yes, I forgot about clothing at Costco. If I can find something that fits me there oh is it ever cheap to buy clothes. I have gotten more of my favourite over sweater there, the ones that zip up and can be worn over almost anything.

Anyone make their own laundry detergent? I think I'm going to venture into it.
I make my own dishwasher detergent and it works great. Saves me money, good for the environment and no wierd chemicals.

Casey: Do you know anyone with a Costco membership that maybe you could tag along with and see how their products and prices fit into your family's needs?
Jasper: I may have some of those coupons, I will check my stash when I get home tonight.
Insane: I looked into making my lunadry my detergent only things that stopped me was there seemed to alot of warnings when to came to HE machines which is what we have. PLus my stockpile is over flowing with laundry soap. Whenever I can get Arm & Hammer for $1.99 I use every coupon we have.

I do! This is the one I use:
3 tbsp of borax
3 tbsp of washing soda
2 tbsp of Blue Dawn
6 boiling cups of water
put into a container & shake until all is dissolved. I use a 4+L old purex container and double up the recipe. I add ~2 cupfuls to my dispenser.
Some versions of this call for 4c of water, but I find that I get crystals on the bottom of the jug if I use less. I use this in my HE washer and I am generally quite happy. It isn't great on bad grease spots, so I just apply a diluted dawn spray on them. Is it as good as store bought? Honestly, it isn't tide. But it is SOOOO cheap to make. It cost me $13.00 for everything and I still have half of the borax, and washing soda left over. The dawn- well I use that for other things, so I always have that in the house. It is as good as gain, purex etc.
What recipe do you use for your dishwasher? I have played around with making some recipes- but have some problem with white film that I can't get rid of with citric acid.ROAK a Huggies or Pampers code to my local pregnancy centre- toys, clothes, food & diapers always needed!
