Hello everyone. This is my first official post on this blog. To start off my first few posts, I would like to take a look at some of the items I purchase from Sam’s Club. My first item is cheese. Sam’s has a wide variety of cheeses and I find it to be one of the biggest money savers for me. Sliced grated or block it’s easily divided into foodsaver bags and stored for weeks. Storage is a big issue for shopping in the big box store. If I didn’t have the foodsaver, 2 refrigerators and a large pantry … Sam’s Club probably wouldn’t work for me. But if I could get the cheese at that price in the standard grocery store I would make room in the fridge and I would still invest in the foodsaver. Cheese like Parmesan, which has a big price tag is a great value at Sam’s Club. They do have the cheaper green can available but for the price I love being able to get the real thing. I watch for specials and if the grocery store has a better deal than Sam’s I will buy their cheese, but I must admit I rarely find that to be the case, Sam’s by far consistently has the best deals on this staple of mine.
Cheese is a great multipurpose item. As I work to build this blog you will find that Sam’s is my place for food “multitaskers” the items I can buy and make many different meals or snacks combined with the smaller scale grocery items. I can always make a grilled cheese, quesadilla or just nibble a slice for mere pennies.

For years my online life has functioned mainly in forums. My Food Network Fans forum has become the inspiration for me to start this blog. As a Food Network Fan, I have been watching and waiting with hope that the Food Network would do a show similar to the blog I am beginning here today.
In today's times it is tough to stretch your paycheck to meet all your needs and still have a little left for some of your wants. I would like to start blogging about how to use every cent you spend to make meals go as far as possible. I have a Sam's Club Membership, and I also shop at the local Kroger on a regular basis. I am going to try and compare where I can get the best values on all the items I purchase. Hopefully, this will give an overview of how beneficial the warehouse membership can be for food shopping.
