Wife is having a hard time justifying the $35 membership card to SAMS. SAMS is about 45 miles from us and is not a normal visit to us. We just don't drive there to go to SAMS. Still, even though meat is good there, we can find good deals at other stores and Wal-Mart that are more local to us. Since I went digital with my Photography, there is no more bulk buying of film and batteries. I have started using Propane more, so less Charcoal.
