I grab a few essentials every time I make the drive to Sam's Club.Rachael Brennan

I'm a mom who drives over an hour each way to pick up my family's favorite products at Sam's Club.
The Del Monte red grapefruit and Starbucks Pike Place ground coffee come in handy in the mornings.

There are multiple Costco and BJ's stores close to where I live, but the nearest Sam's Club is more than an hour away in Elmsford, New York.

Though it seemingly makes sense to join the warehouses closest to me, I've found that there are some things I can only find at Sam's Club.

The drive there and back is long, but my family of three doesn't require regular bulk shopping. I usually make the two-hour round trip once a month and spend an average of $250 each time I go to the warehouse.
