I've set up the following table to show what I bought, what it is replacing and the price of both. You will notice that I have three price lists - one for Preferred Customer (PC) pricing, one for what we actually paid after the freebies and additional discounts, and what we would have spent at Wal-Mart or a comprable store. Remember, I only bought items we needed this month, as I plan to do each month:

You may find that if you did the same comparison for yourself that it may be different. This would depend on where you shop, your preferred brands, etc. I encourage everyone who might be interested to make their own comparisons.
