We are contemplating membership with Costco. Sam's Club is just too far of a drive, and Costco is as well, but a shorter drive.
Prices are just so high, it is ridiculous. I have to literally go online, and price compare, and then write out 2-3 different store lists. It's time consuming, but I have started to price compare online before going to the stores. Big Lots is great for some items, but not for others. The same goes for Aldi, Wal-mart, Meijer etc.
I can tell you, that I found white vinegar by the gallon to be the least expensive at Menard's. We were heading that way anyway, and had rebates to use. $2.66/gallon with rebate. I also found their cotton balls, toilet paper, and paper towels to be less than the grocery or Wal-mart. My research paid off, as I also found the next least expensive place for white vinegar - Big Lots. I use this mostly for cleaning. I buy organic during canning season.
I spent time to load digital coupons for the grocery store, and other stores. It's crazy about what we have to do to shop for necessities anymore.
We re-stock our organic oats, when we visit Amish country, as we cannot buy any in our area (which is crazy as well). Do you have a back-up if flour was not available?
Trash bags are so high in price right now, so I did more research on that.
I also have to place an order online every now and then, for items they do not sell in the store (healthy items of course). Our major grocery store, has a "sister" store online, and they recently had a 20% off all food items thankfully.
I bulk buy some of my items to save money, what is one way you save money?
