Monthly Sam's Run

As part of my grocery budget, I have figured in a monthly Sam's run. I thought I would take the time to break down what I got there this month just to show and possibly help someone see how shopping at Sam's can save one some money.

I have two pages of my pricebook devoted to Sam's Club items, however, I do not get all of the items each month. The reason for not getting all the items is because many of the items last me more than just a month!

Here is a breakdown of what I purchased this month...

• 30lbs french fries $15.87
• 60ct. box frozen waffles $8.02
• 140ct. box pizza rolls $8.88
• 2lbs Canadian bacon $7.62
• 48 ct. AA batteries $17.84
• 6lbs shredded hashbrowns $4.88
• 10pk Honey Maid Graham Crackers $7.22
• 3-44oz bottles Heinz ketchup $6.34
• 12 ct. plain bagels $4.36
• 56oz bag plain M&Ms $7.70 (hubby takes the bag to work to fill his M&M guy)
• 3lb bag Hormel Real Bacon Bits $6.88
• 3lb bag Ball Park Beef Hotdogs $6.27
• 5lbs tub Country Crock Margarine $3.76
• 72ct. box Kraft American Cheese slices $8.46
• 48 ct. bag Individually wrapped string cheese $9.88
• 5lbs mild cheddar cheese $13.73($2.75/lb)
• 3.91lbs Beef Round Roast $14.31(this will give me at least TWO meals!)
• 9 thick sliced pork loin chops $16.66 (I take these home and slice them so they are thin pork loin chops and so I ended up with 2 meals out of 9 thick sliced chops!)

Just to give you some idea out of this list, I will not need to get fries, bacon bits, hotdogs, batteries, and graham crackers next month! Everything else will be on the list next month along with a few other things.
