This includes our membership renewal. We had little room left in our subcompact. We didn't even buy meat and wine, the costliest items we have purchased in previous shopping expeditions. Nor did we purchase a printer/fax/scanner/copier that my spouse recommended. We just bought what we usually do, and didn't load up on anything.
Organic coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, two merino wool sweaters, extra virgin olive oil, chicken broth, canned corn, cashews, toothpaste, toothbrushes, apple juice, laundry detergent, organic chocolate milk, bread, bandages, feminine protection (I don't mean Glock), organic spaghetti, tomato-basil spaghetti sauce, organic chicken broth, acid reduction tablets, and Cook's Illustrated magazine.
I think a genuine "load up now before inflation bites even more" would have taken up my whole paycheck. This one ate up more than half my projected earnings for this past week.
Now I'm trying to figure if we saved $50 from the cost of the items.
Our priciest Costco run ever

Oh, that's nothing. Try doing it to feed seven plus dogs. I have been putting off going to Sam's nd we are about down to the last of our stash. I'm thinking it will be more around $550 for me to get paper products/canned stash going!

There is nothing else there that I need 2 tons of that will save me money.
I do find things there that are no where else, but it doesn't save me any money since I go there to buy that item.
GFS is a good place to buy bulk at, you need no membership fee, and they take Food Stamps for the less forturnate.
