Medicine
Suppose you had an unexpected headache and you discover that you have run out of ibuprofen or acetaminophen. In that case, it seems a bright idea to stock up on a large bottle of pills for the next time you go to a warehouse club.
But remember, unless you use these products daily, it is a waste of money to buy a 750 pills bottle because you won’t use it entirely before it expires. If you are considering using painkillers after the expiry date on the bottle, be aware that they may lose their effectiveness, and you can get food poisoning.
Sauces and Dips
Unless you are shopping for food for a party or large family, you should only purchase a small amount of hummus, dip, and gravy. This is because these are perishable foods, that once opened they spoil after a specific time.
Based on the unit price, you may end up spending more at a traditional grocery store, but you are more likely to fill a smaller container. If you want to save on money, pay attention to weekly promotional announcements in various grocery stores.

meats and chicken really are a good buy if you have a food saver machine that can vacuum seal your product, thereby prolonging it life span within reason of course>?
The same with their 3 big tubs of Guacamole. Unless you are having a party, it spoils within 3 to 4 days after opening it. I live alone and even one tub was too
much. I gave two tubs away. Demo lady said you can freeze it, but it doesn’t taste the same, but it is still edible
It is a bit of fun to use your food saver, and share with neighbors. Win-win all around, and no waste.
Great information. I wasn’t aware how things like spices can go out of date so quickly. So I will definitely use this information when determining what I buy at warehouse stores….Thanks
