Sam's Club, Costco prices?

I belong to Sam's Club. I purchased 2 laminated maple top benches for $149 each. They are every bit the table that the Gladiator Garage Works table is. I have Garage Works products also and these look identical fit and finish wise though these have one additional brace on the back bottom two legs. These products had to come out of the same factory. The Garage Works equivelant run around $400 bucks each. That was worth the price of the membership for me. We buy alot of bulk food products there. Good meat products, great cheese cake and very nice King Crab Legs (I know, big deal but when you live in the middle of a desert mountain state). My wife loves to shop there.

On your way, stop by K-Mart.
Three 24 pack for $10.
Our local ad is here.
It's quite often $3.50 and I think regular price is only $3.99.
No membership required, either.:)

No Kmart close by me but that is a heck of a deal. And i stand corrected with the water pricing it was 4.49 for a 36 pack of 17 oz bottles.

Actually, other than a few tools and automotive products, I have very little idea what stuff costs. The water price came from my wife. She does the shopping and I have to ask her about prices.:)
I wouldn't have a clue, but she can tell you the best prices on about every item we use and where to get that best price.
Right in Ankeny we have two supermarkets with a third being built, a Super Target with groceries and a Super Wal*Mart with groceries. We also have a good local Ace Hardware store, Home Depot and Menard's. The Sam's Club is about 20 miles from us, Costco about 30 miles, K-Mart about 8 miles. We really very seldom have to leave town for most items.

Give me a break. If you are serious about that then i highly suggest you stop driving a car or truck which ever it may be and you should also stop washing your vehicles. I also suggest you stop using any and all chemicals.

Besides i recycle all my bottles. And last time i checked the water in my tap did not come out in bottle form.

A good laminated hard wood top will cost that much. Even if I could buy the top it wouldn't be worth the $50 I would save by doing it myself.

On the other hand if you could maybe you could put Gladiator (Whirlpool) out of business.
 
I've been a member of Sams since they allowed individual membership.
Over the years I've found some good prices and not so good prices.
Their large containers, bulk packaging etc. are good for large groups and small business. However, they are not always the best price.
I've never been to a Costco. The nearest one is over 70 miles away.
