I Love Sam's Club

Early this morning, I went to my local Sam’s Club.  I usually pay Mr. Sam a visit 2 to 3 times a month when we run out of something we cannot live without.  We do have a Costco, which is much closer to my house, but I will track the extra few miles for Sam’s.  Costco does not carry the most important pantry item my family can never run out of.

My daughter is a very picky eater.  She will only eat a total of 10 items.  One of those items is Jif Peanut Butter.  I’ve tried every other peanut butter known to mankind, but the low fat Jif Creamy Peanut Butter is the only one she likes.  I’ve tried tricking her by disguising her food with other brands, but she always catches me red-handed.  My innocent response, “Huh?”  If I had it my way, I’d buy organic peanuts and grind them up myself.

The price points at Sam’s on some of their products are phenomenal, but not everything.  Jif peanut butter comes in a pack of two jars at 2 lbs. each for $7.88, that’s $3.94 per jar.  That same size jar of peanut butter costs $6.94 at my local grocery store.  That's twice as much!

I’m not a spokesperson for Sam’s Club, nor am I getting paid to write this.  These are my own observation and I’m amazed at some of their prices.    Another thing I can’t resist buying there is bananas.  You can always get a nice green bunch (about 9 bananas) for $1.29.  My husband loves to eat the bananas with the Jif Peanut Butter.  Go figure.
