Warehouse Clubs Sell Huge Bags of food.  Ever wonder which foods actually save you money?  Meat is a big loser and canned Tomatoes are a big winner.

 

1.  Flour - For around $6.00, you can purchase a 25lb bag of flour.  This is about the same price as in grocery stores, but I find it easier to purchase one bag instead of 5 5lb bags usually found in the grocery store.

 

2.  Sugar - White Sugar and Brown Sugar are sold at warehouse stores in large bags. I rarely ever see sugar on sale at retail stores, so this is a good buy.

 

3.  Baking Soda / Baking Powder - Unless you use Baking soda to clean, there is no point buying this much for cooking.

 

4.  Salt -  No need to have this much salt.  

 

5.  Chocolate Chips - The Warehouse Club price for 72 ounces costs about the same as 30 oz at the retail grocery store price. They freeze well! Grab a handful out of the freezer when the kids, or you, have a chocolate craving and they will also save you from buying candy bars.

 

6.  Yeast -Because you refrigerate yeast after opening, this is a great buy. It saves a lot of money versus buy those little packets at the grocery store.

 

7.  Pancake Mix - This is my favorite. Krusteaz makes a 0 grams trans fat pancake /waffle mix that makes 240 - 4" pancakes for about $6. The bag generally lasts about 24 - 30 months.

8  Brownie Mix - $7.50 is a lot to pay for 5 bags of brownie mix. Wait for retail grocery store sales and you can buy a box of mix for $1. So, you are paying $2.50 more than you should. You can just as easily make brownies the old fashioned way too.

 

9.   Hot Cocoa - My kids will not drink dry milk, so this is a great substitute for when you run out at home. Not only will it save you from wasting gas or driving during inclement weather, but it is a storage food staple (see home storage).  Not to mention its a great comfort food! So buy them here, they're a great deal at wholesale clubs.
