Sam's Club, Kroger, and Meijer 12/06

Okay, we went to Sam's Club on Saturday, not today:) I was a bit disappointed with that trip. I went specifically to buy marinated artichoke hearts, BUT they didn't have any!!!! Last time I looked for them there was in 2006 or 2007... I purchased them from Costco within the last year and they still had them in September. Unfortunately I didn't pick any up before our membership expired in October. Other things that Sam's didn't have that I wanted:

Maple Syrup
Shelf stable soymilk(vanilla)

BUT they do carry the gallon size of Frank's Red Hot Sauce(Costco doesn't). You know what the old lady in the commercial says, right? Well that's my husband...

Any way, here's what we bought:



16qt stock pot(commercial grade) 26.87
Twin pack rc cars 29.76
spinach artichoke dip 6.97
24 pack junior mints 11.98
