Since this has turned into Señor Cheap Bastard and other's Deal-O-Rama of the day thread, I thought I'd throw this in...

Sam's Club has a free Guest membership with no up-charge until 1/25. If you sign up for a membership, you get a $10 or $25(plus) gift cards and a coupon for free cookies and muffins. Stop by the membership counter to get your card and get it back from the cashier. they are used to keeping them as they are usually 1 day cards.

Memberships are Individual=$40, Business=$35, "Plus"=$100
Plus gets you a bunch of stuff I haven't gone through yet but will and I think up to 2% back.

All let you buy gas for $.05/gal cheaper than the masses. That is the same as the Costco price as of today.

I did some comparison shopping vs. Costco today, well because I had nothing better to do. Kind of interesting actually. Was thinking about going into Walmart as well but didn't.

No critiques of what I choose. And no, i won't tell you who has the better deal on ensure or depends cause I don't know or need to.

Sam's/Costco
Bold = better deal
Red=Temp deal

Cheap Car battery group 58: 57.82 / 53.99 (sorry, forgot what group Subarus are...)
Compact Florescent light bulbs. Costco by a mile because they have an instant rebate bringing 4x23w=2.29 or 4x13w=2.99 for pretty much the full year according to the sign.
Bounce 250 7.98 / 7.99 (SC would have won, but there is a coupon this month at Costco for $1.50 off)
Tide 180 load 26.10 / 25.09 plus another $2.50 off with coupon this month!!!
Smuckers Strawberry jam 2x32oz 5.42 / 6.89
Applesauce 4X47.25oz 7.27 / 7.79
Kraft Mac & Cheese 12/$7.80 / 15/9.99
Raisins 4lb 6.98 / Organic 6.89
Craisins 48oz 6.83 / 6.99 Coupon this month for $3 off or so makes this the temp BIG winner.
Baking Soda 13.5lb 5.98 / 5.99
Vanilla 16oz name brand 6.88 / Kirkland 6.79
Bread: Costco on Milton's or Oroweat, probably others as well. Oroweat mix & match 2X1.5lb=4.54 / 2x2lb=5.69
Take & bake pizza Cheese or Peperoni, tie. Other multi meet or combos, Costco by a ton.
Peanuts oil roasted, cocktail: 52oz/5.78 / 40oz/7.39 Costo's are really good XXL and fried till crunchy but not worth that much more!!!
Pineapples 2.97 / 2.99 and both are the same size and way bigger than the ones I have seen in grocery stores for $3+
Nonfat Milk gal. 1/1.94 / 2/2.04
I can't believe it's not butter 3.75/5.58 / 5/7.49
Mexican blend cheese shredded Kraft 2x1lb/5.04 / Kirkland 1x2lb/5.99
Mild Cheddar No Name 5lb. block 9.82 / 10.89
Eggs XL 18/2.24 / 24/2.79
Real Bacon bits 20oz Hormel $6.98 / Kirkland 9.99 This is a crush on a better quality product.

And they both suck at anything that goes on sale at grocery stores like Soda, meats, produce, poultry, etc...
