It’s back-to-school time… even for us homeschoolers!
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of buying school supplies and new clothes, many of us don’t think about having a meal plan ready for those busy weeks before and after school starts.
One way to help with having meals ready is to do a bulk cooking day, and have several meals in the freezer ready to toss in the oven.
And, what better way to do bulk-cooking than with bulk-buying at your local Sam’s Club!I often buy meat, chicken, and produce at my Sam’s. Their quality is always great, fresh, and in-season. And their large packages are perfect for helping me have enough product for my bulk-cooking.
While I am at Sam’s, I tend to buy other things {I love grocery shopping. I’m weird, I know!}, like diapers, cereal, Ziploc bags, and toilet paper. Sam’s always has great prices on these, AND plenty of Box Tops!
Even though I am a homeschooler, I still love helping my local public schools by saving the Box Tops for Eduction from my purchases.Right now at the Sam´s Club Back-to-School event, you can get a head start on your collection and find 6 Box Tops on participating General Mills products. Sweet!
In addition, Sam´s Club is giving you the opportunity to earn even more Box Tops when you upgrade to a “Plus Membership.” Now through Friday, 8/13, or while supplies last, visit the Member Services Desk of your local Sam´s Club and upon payment for your Plus Membership, you will receive a certificate for 150 Bonus Box Tops! For more information on how you can take advantage of the Back-to-School event at Sam´s Club, visit www.samsclub.com today!
To assist you with your back-to-school purchases, I have one $25 Sam’s Club gift card to give away to one of my readers!

I think that Sam’s club is a wonderful way to prepare for the return of the “Crazyness” of back to school, especially when daddy is a teacher and mom is a college student. So I think back to school hits us hard.
Sonia says

I also buy bulk snacks and then put them into littler baggies for field trips, day trips, etc. We homeschool so it’s great in the car or for a snack if we can’t make a meal.
