Sam's Club or Costco?

[ahippiechic]

I've had a Sam's Club Business membership for years now, but I got a Costco business membership from work a few days ago, & I've never been to Costco. Are they similar in price to Sam's? Was just wondering about them, as I haven't had to time to visit their store yet. I'll probably go sometime next week to get office supplies.

For the most part they are comparable. Sometimes Sam's is cheaper, sometimes Costco is cheaper. I personally like Sam's better (I think it may be because I have been shopping there longer). I have a business membership to Sam's and DH has one at Costco. So, we price compare before buying big items.

I agree w/ miccit ...on everything actually, exactly what I would have said.

P.S. One thing as a plus for Sam's Club...at the end of the night, they often need to get rid of their unsold hot rotisserie chickens from the deli and hand them out for free. ;) I haven't experienced it personally, but 2 different friends of ours have hit at the right time and shared with us. :)

My kids say that the pizza at Sam's cafe is better, but the pretzels at the Costco cafe are better. These are the ONLY reasons my kids go to either!:D

We belonged to Costco a few years ago and really liked it a lot. I thought it had a lot more to offer. Could be different now though. Haven't been to Costco in quite awhile. We now belong to BJ's Warehouse.
