Don't assume warehouse places are cheaper.  In my experience, every item I 
have ever compared prices on per unit has been within few cents more or less 
as I would pay at the grocery store in my neighborhood.  Never any amazing 
savings and sometimes it's pricier, so that overall I might as well not 
track down a member to accompany me on a 45 minute one-way trip.  For 2 
feasts and 1 lunch I've priced, the average is less than $10 that I could 
have saved.  In that hour and a half, I could have written 3 letters to 
three different groceries and saved $10 minimum because one of the stores 
has a standing policy of $10 worth of stuff free to any non-profit 
presenting a written request.  Add any other response from the other 2 chain 
stores and that's more worth my time.

To those whose experiences at the warehouse's are better worth the time, 
great.
