Can having a membership at Sam's Club save you a lot of money? Read on to find out!
Wait a minute! I know exactly what you're thinking!
"You live in 300 square feet! How in the world can you shop at Sam's Club?! Everything is in HUGE boxes and there is simply no way it would fit in your tiny home?!"
Yes, all of those thoughts/statements are accurate. We do live in 300 square feet and don't have any room to spare. But we still have a Sam's Club membership and shop there often.
Why do we have a Sam's Club membership you ask?
Because it's awesome! Really though hang on with me for a minute. We are able to save hundreds of dollars a year by purchasing some items in bulk. Note the key word (underlined and italicized) word in the previous sentence.

Not all things at Sam's are cheaper and some things we simply don't have room for. For example, meat. Sam's is cheaper on the purchase of meat. However, we have a tiny mini fridge so that's a no go for us. They are also cheaper on every day food items like veggie straws. This is the one food that my kids can eat and LOVE. We would go through three normal sized bags in a week and spend $10-$15. I can buy a HUGE bag for $5 at Sam's and it will last us almost two weeks!! Over the course of a year that is a lot of money that we are able to save thanks to Sam's.
As I've said before not all items at Sam's are a good deal. However, the most important tip I can give you for saving money at Sam's is this:
1. Check the price per ounce. Seriously!! This will save you a TON of money. See, we tend to think since Sam's offers things in bulk it has to be cheaper. However, that's not always the case! Just yesterday we were at Sam's and checked the price of candy (my husband has a sweet tooth) per ounce. It came out to $1.25. I quickly looked on my Kroger and Walmart apps and found that it was actually more expensive to buy this item in bulk! Loss of money adverted. You can check the price per ounce by taking the total cost and dividing it by the number of ounces. You can compare that to prices online and see if it is indeed a good deal.
