If you buy yeast look here!

I got 2 one lb each packages of yeast-a total of 2lbs- at Sams for $4.16.

I just wanted to pass that along as a small jar of Fleishmans at our local grocery is almost $8 and less than 1 lb.

PS I made it out of Sams and only spent $65. A good day for me lol!

Yes. I buy it there, too. Good job on the $65! What else did you get?

Cricket! you're so funny!!!

Great find!

I found a similar deal on yeast at Costco last year.

Good job

Sam's is where I buy my yeast too. In the vacuum packed "bricks".

**Cricketlegs** · 05-31-2008, 09:47 PM

Yes in the bricks. I was thinking of pouring it into a large canning jar with a tight lid. Would that work?

What I got was--

a 30 roll scott toliet tissue mega sized roll paper for $18.42
700 coffee filters for my mom as I have a Keurig coffie sistem that doesn't use filters for $2.34
7lbs of light brown sugar for $3.84--wowsa!
a book--yes I did buy a book--$6.46
110 load Members Mark laundry soap that is HE for front loaders but I use HALF measure so I get almost twice or 200 loads for $13.43
90 count electrol tabs for dishwasher $11.26
yeast $4.16

total-$60.21 and tax makes for $64.52

but but but I neeeeedddddeeeddd that book......really...I did...I...wahhhhhhh!!

that`s great crickett! awesome deal`s!

**nancycg56** · 06-01-2008, 07:48 AM

I buy it there, too, and put open one of the bricks and put it in a plastic jar with a tight fitting lid and keep it (and the other brick) in my freezer....it lasts a looooooooooong time that way

**YankeeMom** · 06-01-2008, 09:05 AM

I keep mine in the freezer too. Still in the brick, but I place the open brick in a freezer bag. I'm afraid of glass in the freezer and don't have a plastic container that will fit in the door of my freezer.

I've been doing that for years, I read once that it comes out to be about $60 in savings by buying the bricks instead of the little packages. I keep mine in a jar in the freezer and it keeps for at least a year.

Darn no Sam's. The small jar around here is $9.99. I've been using the coupons for the strips, making them about .50 but out of coupons now. Hmm, I'll have to find someone who shops there.

**mom2matty** · 06-01-2008, 01:02 PM

We buy our yeast at Sam's too!!

**pecunierrant** · 06-01-2008, 02:09 PM

I buy my yeast at costco too. Good job getting out of sam's for under $65! I wish we could too! LOL

**kita** · 06-01-2008, 03:05 PM

Another place to look is at stores that sell food etc for restaurants. That is where I bought mine. I just don't remember how much I paid for it.

Our grocery store carried the bricks of yeast as well. I think it is about $3.59 for one. The package is white and is hard to see so you may want to check out the grocery stores in your area. We don't do Sam's anymore.
