When I was a member of Sams Club (back in its 1980's infancy, when only
employees of certain employers were offered memberships for about $20 a
year) I'd go there to buy a case of paper towels and a case of toilet paper
at one shot. Beer by the case, from time to time; my middle bro roommate
liked to host parties.
Food? Not really. They offered mostly industrial-sized cans of things I
certainly didn't want or need. Who needed a gallon (for example) of "nacho
cheese sauce" or baked beans? LOL I did buy large bags of boneless,
skinless chicken breasts a few times. I got so sick of boneless skinless
chicken breasts I gave that up soon afterwards. YMMV
I haven't been a
member of any so-called wholesale club in a very long time.
