8. Flour
Do you bake a lot? As in, every other day? Then buying the giant bags of flour from warehouse clubs makes sense. For everyone else, don’t! Save your money and pantry space and avoid flour from warehouse clubs.
There’s just no reason for you to get the 25-pound bag. Sure, the price is to die for, but you’ll realistically never use it as much as you think you might and the next thing you know, a few months down the line you’ll find your bag taken over by pantry moths- ew!
9. Minced garlic
A big jar of minced garlic? Even if you like your lunch or dinner to be super garlicky, this is not a good purchase from warehouse clubs. Chances are all your garlic will go bad before you use it all, so you’re better off buying smaller jars or sticking to buying whole garlic cloves and crushing them at home.
You don’t even need a special tool, either. You can use the flat part of your knife to crush the garlic in order to preserve all the delicious flavors!
You’d be nuts to waste your money on the next one…..

BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE PERSON, I DON’T BUY A WHOLE LOT FROM THE BIG WAREHOUSE STORES AS PRICES ARE BETTER AT WALMART, DOLLAR, DISCOUNT, OR GROCERY STORES.
THE ITEMS I AVOID ARE THOSE SOLD IN BULK …PAY OUT IS TOO LARGE FOR SUCH LIMITED USAGE.
THE ITEMS I BUY ARE THOSE SOLD IN AMOUNTS I CAN USE, OCCASIONAL BULK ITEMS THAT DON’T SPOIL, THAT ARE A PRICE EQUAL TO OR SLIGHTLY LESS THAN OTHER STORES, CLOTHING ITEMS ON SALE THERE.
THEY SHOULD CONSIDER A WAY TO MAKE IT COST EFFECTIVE FOR SINGLE PEOPLE.
Yes – here is my list:
1. Never buy soda at club stores unless you drink so much that you can’t wait a week for a sale.
2. Don’t buy 100% juice either – I have yet to see a bulk price at a club store that I couldn’t beat at the grocery store sale or discount stores. Most recently, I bought 2 cartons of Doles 100% juice & 100% juice blends for $4.00 at Landis, a store that doesn’t usually have competative prices. And you can buy a 64 oz bottle of apple juice for $1.50-$2.00 on sale always at one of your local food stores. They just can’t match these prices.
3. Potato Chip Brands – Club stores may have great prices on generic brands of potato chips, but if you have a favorite brand of chips, buy them on sale at your local market. They run sales like BOGO free and multiple buy sales such as 2 Utz for $5 or 3 Lays for $6 and straight sales like Goods 12 oz bag $1.99 – just can’t beat these prices in bulk.
4. Ice cream Brands – I have yet to see Club stores beat Turkey Hill Ice cream 48 oz. on Sale for $1.99.
5. Vitamins – Never buy these at Club stores when you can get them on sale 2 for one or buy one get one 50% off at many stores
