We were in Sam's Club earlier this week, and brought home their pkg of 48 rolls of toilet tissue, paper towels, napkins, bar soap, laundry detergent, etc. I'm sure there's a savings here, but I'm seriously questioning why anyone really needs to have this kind of inventory for 6-9 months. We used Costco up North but the family was bigger then and stuff wouldn't last as long. Even meat and prepared foods are more than a family of 2-3 needs, and you wind up saving (freezing) half. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't yet agree that savings for us (from Sams\Costco) is illusory.
