Direct Buy Savings

We decided to purchase a Direct Buy membership several months ago to help save money on our remodel project. We paid a hefty fee for the membership, so we are concerned whether or not it will actually save us money in the long run. I am going to keep a journal of everything we purchase using our direct buy membership and compare it to the cheapest price I can find on line or at a retail store.
