This is the time of year when many local groups and churches get together for a big chili cookoff. My biggest advice is to make sure it’s flavorful, but not too spicy. You never know what kind of tolerance for heat the judges will have, and if they don’t like spicy food, the rest of your chili flavors won’t matter. You also need to know your audience. I made a delicious white chicken chili one year, but all the chili recipes that placed were traditional chili recipes. On the other hand, you might be part of a group where a more non-traditional chili recipe is what they’re looking for! The good thing is, even if you don’t win, every single one of these 11 chili cookoff recipes is delicious!

If you are pondering a Sam’s Club membership, or already have one, there are a few things in the store that are great deals you should make sure to grab. Be careful though, not everything in the store is a deal.
10 Things You Should Buy at Sam’s
1. Frozen Fruit
Grab 5 lb bags of frozen fruit for $12.67, or about $2.50 per lb. This is equal to the sale price we will see in other stores, however this is the regular price without having to wait for the sale. Look for various varieties of mixed berries and tropical fruits.
2. Shredded & Chunk Cheese
While they have good prices on most of the dairy section, the price for Cheese at Sam’s is the best deal around. Grab 5 lb bags of shredded cheese for $14.27. That comes to $2.85 per 16 oz, the same size at the grocery store would be $4-$5 on sale.
3. Flour, and Sugars
If you’ve got some big baking plans, then the huge bags of flour and various sugars will be a great savings. Flour comes in a 25 lb bag for $8.48, or $0.34 a pound. At the grocery store we regularly see 2 lb bags for $1.79, so this is about half the price at Sam’s.
Grab Brown Sugar and Powdered Sugar, 7 lb bags, for $6.98. Based on sale prices in other stores (about $1.99/lb.), these bags will save you $3 if not more. We can find super cheaper sugar on sale with coupons, but only around the holidays. This is a great savings any time of the year.
