Besides knowing the prices, you have to be good about avoiding impulse shopping in warehouses. Otherwise you'll wipe out what you've saved.
I belong to Sam's (we tried Costco but Sam's has more of the stuff we use, and it's closer). Their price of milk and eggs fluctuates wildly, so I have to watch that. Half-and-half is ALWAYS cheaper, and so are generic over-the-counter medicines and vitamins. I make back the cost of my membership just buying Advil, iron supplements and allergy medicine for my kids. I also get spices, soup base (this is SO much better than bouillon cubes or canned broth, and quite inexpensive--easy to store too!) and large sacks of bread flour and rice.
Most other things, I have found that I do better at the supermarket, with sales and coupons.
