5 Things I Will NOT buy at Sam's Club or Costco!

I really wish I had not gone with the 5 things, this could really be a list of about 100. For all the wonderful deals I get at a warehouse store there are so many that are not a good deal. Unfortunately, buying in bulk doesn't always mean that you get the best deal. The most important thing to do when shopping at a Sam's club or other store is to price everything out BY THE OUNCE. This will let you know if you are getting something cheaper then at the grocery store with or without coupons. Of course this means that you need to have an idea of what you are paying at the grocery store, that is your homework! Start keeping a list, or paying attention to it!

These are the top 5 things that I think are the worst deals at a warehouse store:

1. Razors! Hands down! This was what I would GO to Sam's for. A refill for mens razors last time I looked was almost $50. That was for 15 cartridges, I won't pay more then about $1.50 for a new razor that has 2 blades in it. I am looking at about $20, worst case for the same thing plus all the new razor handles.

2. Toothbrushes and Toothpaste - A pack of toothbrushes at Sams is $13.88 for a 6 pack. People pay for toothbrushes?!! They pay $2.25 for one? My price point for a toothbrush is FREE, if I am paying more then that I don't feel like it is a good deal OR it better be a pretty dang nice toothbrush and cost me $1! Toothpaste, is also pricey, at over $2 a tube as well. We are getting it free again this week at Kroger.

3. Gum and Candy - First, I don't really want a bulk amount of candy around my house, I don't want anyone eating that much sugar. Second, there are too many coupons out for single packs to pay $9.88 for a bag of M&M's. Even if I really like the Peanut Butter kind! If I wait I know that I can get the single serve bags and packs for as little as free to $.25 a bag. Gum should also be one of those things where you get close to free, not $5 for a 3 pack for Trident, when Walgreens had them $.12 each last week.

4. Photos – Now, I have purchased 100′s of photos at Sam's club in the past, and if I need them asap same day, I would have to go back. They charge $.13 a print. I can get 100 prints for $.02 a photo if I order online to one of the 20 different places that myself and other bloggers post regularly. When you get a bunch at a time that is the difference between paying $13 for 100 or paying $2.

5. Cereal! This mak...
