I currently buy pampers, deli meat, yogurt, chicken and toilet paper regularly. The deli meat is about $2-3 less a pound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-do-you-buy-wholesale#post-1839285 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 16:03:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1839285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness, everything...<br /> Formula paid for like the next 10 years of membership<br /> Milk saves us almost $1/week, which almost pays for a year's membership<br /> Gas is anywhere from the same to $0.15 cheaper at any given time, so that can save quite a bit<br /> Bananas are about $0.20/lb cheaper than the grocery store (and we eat a LOT of bananas)<br /> Frozen chicken breasts are MUCH cheaper (don't recall $/lb)<br /> TP and paper towels save us quite a bit of money too, as well as Ziplock bags, foil, plastic wrap (although, usually only have to buy that stuff like once a year)<br /> Quinoa is quite a bit cheaper (we eat a lot of it), spices are much cheaper, flour and sugar are cheaper (but you need some storage space for those)</p> <p>ETA: Oh, these are all Costco prices, I have no idea how BJs runs :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-do-you-buy-wholesale#post-1839262 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 15:40:15 +0000 gingerbebe 1839262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy meat, fruit, baby carrots, paper products like toilet paper and paper towels, detergent, cereal, small appliances, office equipment, printer papers, clothes, underwear, shoes, vitamins, OTC meds, eggs, butter, lunchmeat, hummus, wine, bread, and any kind of potluck contribution dessert (pies, cakes, etc) from Costco. And gas. We love Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-do-you-buy-wholesale#post-1839151 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:44:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1839151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy EVERYTHING from Costco except for certain produce items (strawberries, bananas, avocados, tomatoes) peanut butter (Costco doesn't have the kind we like), and baby food and snacks like purees and puffs.</p> <p>Costco is so awesome. They have a huge organic selection and it keeps getting bigger and bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-do-you-buy-wholesale#post-1838993 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:31:47 +0000 Smurfette 1838993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: diapers alone is worth it for us (Costco).

Ours pays for itself with that - right now its 10 cents cheaper per gallon than reg stations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-do-you-buy-wholesale#post-1838838 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:28:02 +0000 maybebaby 1838838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of getting a BJs membership, but curious if it would pay off. We don't have a deep freezer or large pantry and we live in an apartment with not a lot of storage. Would a membership be worth it for a family of 3? </p>
