(WCCO) — I’ve posted before about how I love my Sam’s Club membership, and I know all the Costco and other wholesale store fans are pretty pleased with their saving too.

One important thing to remember about these stores if you aren’t a member is that they don’t only sell things in bulk. Of course they are known for their big bulk packages, but they sell things like a single gallon of milk too — on average $1.50 less than regular stores.

To see some great warehouse store deals — and what to avoid — click here and see some tips about buying wholesale from the CBS Early Show.

Know of any other deals? Email them to me or post them in our comment section to share them with other ‘Good Lifers!’
