Monthly Sam's Run--October

I went to Sam's this month with a a long list of items to purchase.  I was not going to take any of my kids with me due to the length of the list but I ended up taking two out of five with me.  It just so happen to be my youngest two which are for the most part my best shoppers!  I can stick them in the cart and they are happy to ride through the store other than the need for a couple of potty breaks we were in and out of the store in an hour!

This month was my month to stock up on some my baking basics so that I can get started with the holiday baking in the days and weeks to come. I also saved myself a trip later in the month by planning ahead and grabbing a mixed bag of mini candy bars to hand out for Halloween.(not sure if it will suffice but I can always have hubby pick up another bag on his way home from work if necessary).

Remember that several of the items listed below I do not get every month. There are many things that I purchase in bulk at Sam's that will last me several months. For instance, the last time I got paper plates was back in June!!  Whereas the meats, margarine, hash browns and few other things I get every month so they are considered "staples" on my list.
