Last night we renewed our membership to Sam's Club after letting our membership expire for about a month. We were members last year but towards the end of our membership year got kind of turned off from the place for a few reasons, but it turns out buying things in bulk isn't just nice, it's a necessity. When we compare prices of like paper towels, paper plates, salsa, and a number of different items you can buy at Sam's Club versus at the supermarket, you quickly see how much cheaper things are at Sam's Club. What I think put the decision over the top is my vision plan I get from work has Sam's Club as an in-network provider so we decided to go back and renew.

I can't wait for this weekend so I can go sign up for Planet Fitness already. Not going to the gym this week, I feel like I'm gaining weight by the minute. Planet Fitness still has it's $10 per month plan out there so I'm going to try them out and see how it goes. I am planning on the gym being no where near as nice as Lifestyle, generally because a gym that charges $40/month should be nicer than a $10/month gym.

If there's a bane of my existence, it's money. Well, I like money plenty and would love to have more of it but it seems since like the wedding, we've been in a financial free fall. Last month we noticed the anomaly and we've been as frugal as can be but it's tough and frankly it just perplexes me as to how exactly we seem to be spending more when we don't feel like we are. Obviously one time purchases impact things, but it's all been a little much lately and I understand how people get into credit card trouble so easily. We just have to continue to be frugal and as for the cruise next week, if it isn't free, we aren't doing it.
