Rather than simply tell me it is worth it, please address the point I made about being stocked up with bulk packaging. I just don't get it. Thanks!
I get it and you make some good points. We were in Sam’s Club yesterday. (In Illinois) A very large crowd is an understatement. I’m thinking to myself (saying nothing to wife) we are retired and can go most anytime so what are we doing here. Let me tell you it was just for a few things. Mostly it was for Sam’s $1.38 large hot dog/soda. Which according to what I’m told Sam Walton said the price to always stay the same. Has to be a loss leader at today’s prices.
