So far, we are just going to Wal-mart but I need help :doh I haven't bought paper towels in . . . .welll. . . a REALLY REALLY long time :shrug On top of that, we are using disposable EVERYTHING NOW :eek Diapers, napkins, cups, spoons, paper towels, toilet bowl brushes. You name it we're tossing it :eek

So what's cheapest? Wal-mart, Sam's, Aldi's, etc? Even if you aren't in my area (WI), I'd appreciate tips, thoughts, etc

Thanks :heart

Do you have BigLots/Pic'nSave? They are usually dirt cheap.

Well, I was going to say Costco. There paper products are really strong and while may be a bit more in price, you don't use as many...BUT, there are none in WI, so forget that! ;)

I second the Big Lots/Pic 'n Sav idea. Sam's is probably the best for buying in bulk.

No Aldi's here, so I do Sam's Club and Super WM.

Praying there will be very good deals wherever you go. :heart

I like Sam's because of the prices and the size - it is nice to buy everything in such large packages because it lasts so much longer.

Yes, it is the illness. Luke no longer has much of an immune system :cry :hissyfit We have to use disposable everything we can to avoid bacteria. Even good bacteria is not good for him :cry :cry. Well the spoons and cups are for medicine mixing we can use our dishwasher for dishes :P . As far as the busyness, I am sure I'll soon feel thankful for that but I am still feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff to buy and the fact that I am just not used to it. I was in bathroom this morning annoyed I don't have a clean towel hanging before I remember why we took down all the towels :lol. We have spent almost $300 dollars :eek on what I call "cancer trips" to wal-mart ;) :lol -- trying to laugh more as laughter is the best medicine :P ;) We didn't own paper towel holders, had to buy all new pillows and covers for matresses, piillows, etc etc etc!

Okay, I am going to price all these places. I remember hearing here (I think) that Sam's can actually be more costly if you aren't careful so I have to start keeping logs of how much stuff actually costs.

My dad is a nut who actually measures the size of the paper towel to see if it's *really* a good deal. He also takes several trips daily to the electric meter to see how their energy consumption is going. When he broke his foot he expected my mom to walk out to the meter a few times a day to chart the energy use of their different appliances :eek :rolleyes My mom thought he was crazy and told him so :lol. Oops, I digressed :O...)

Anyway, he swears by Dollar General for cheap paper goods.

Jodi, if you don't have a Sam's card, I do, so I can take you if you want. Or just price check for you if you need it - let me know!

Otherwise, I vote for the Dollar Store.
