Save At Discount Warehouse Clubs

You can really save money by shopping at discount warehouse clubs like Sam's or CostCo.  It costs $25-$35 a year, but you'll easily save many times that amount by buying in bulk quantites.  If you join a discount club, use it enough to justify the yearly membership fee.  Caution:  some clubs will charge your membership fee each year, without asking you first or even notifying you (for example, Damark has done that.)  It's a short-sighted tactic that will cost them customers in the long run.
