Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sam’s or Costco’s?

My Sam’s membership is coming to year end/renewal in the next few days. I like Sam’s ok but I’m unfamiliar with Costcos and we have one opening up within a few months nearby.
those of you who are familiar with both, what makes one better than another. Sounds like Costco has better socks lol I’ve heard their ice cream is better but what about meats, fruits vegetables or dairy? Anything equivalent to Sams’ cash earning black card?

I’ve never been in a Sam’s but everything you mentioned is top quality at Costco. They can also issue you a Visa card with reward points. I have an executive membership that I think runs $120 annual. My annual rebate this year was $80 so my net membership cost was $40.

I’ve nothing bad to say about Costco except their hours of operation. They’re damn handy.

Costco by a fair margin.

They may no be what they were 10-15 years ago, but an easy pick over Sams.

When we lived in areas where both were available, Costco was preferred.

Costco piss me off, they wouldn’t accept any bank ir credit card I had affiliated with Visa.

Only Mastercard

I ain’t have jack chit else with me, cash, check, nothing.

My old man was out in the caddie, I made him come in with some usaa mastercard or something to get me rolling. Wtf

I still like costco better. Sams seems a little trashy with more annoying cell phone salespeople creating a gauntlet at the entrance.

I use both depending on location. It only costs I think $60 a year for each, so I have no problem being a member of both... Check them out, as they are both better than soopah walmarx, and yes I think Costco's meat and employees are better than walmarx+ club.

Always preferred Costco.

I've gotten used to Sam's & happen to like their beef better. Any pre sliced beef at Costco has been tenderized. Sam's to my knowledge is not. Chicken & pork prices about the same.
Sam's membership cost less last I heard. Costco liquor is great but don't need a membership in my state to buy there.

Think I'll continue to get meat at Sams & vodka at Costco. If Costco runs a killer deal on something I want I'll call BIL & ask him to order it & have them ship it to me.

But, lots of folks rave on the Kirkland brand of goods across the board. Not sure I can brag on general Members Mark products. Lots of test, comparisons would need to be made to honestly answer instead of the "what I like" thing.

Had both but now it's Cosco.

They have some good quality stuff there and the veggies are not bad.

It just seemed to me that sams was just a last ditch place for goods from the mart stores to go before they die.

how do Sam's rotiserrie chigguns rate compared to the Cosscos?

That's impotent, ya knows.

Do the Sam's gots the $2.50 big ol slice a piza?

Costco has better stuff. We actually quit both of them, when we finally realized we were paying annual fees for the privilege to drive an hour and a half mostly just to buy trash bags and toilet paper.

Those membership fees will buy a pretty good amount of trash bags and toilet paper at the walmarks here in town.

one word, if you like their products.

Costco.com

Have a Sams 35 minutes away and.Cosco is 2 hours plus a drive all the way across Memphis. Twice coming and going.
So no choice for me I use Sams. I like Costco better though.

We have a membership at both. Sams is only a short drive away, but there are 3 Costco's 30-45 minutes away. It's worth the drive for us to go to Costco if we're buying multiple items. Plus, all 3 of the Costco's are right on the way to places we drive by at least once a month anyway, so we rarely make a special trip.

I'd estimate that roughly 1/2 of the stuff we get are pretty comparable in quality and price at either place. But the other 1/2 is usually better at Costco and I can't think of anything better at Sams.

Sams. Cat Litter alone decided that. Costco was a weird layout by comparison. Pearland TX Stores about 2 miles apart

Costco is better if you have one near you. My problem is there's not one anywhere near me, so I'm forced into Sam's. Sam's is kind of the ghetto version of Costco. Costco will generally have more upscale stuff along with upscale people. Sam's gets the Walmart/Dollar General crowd.

I use a visa debit card every time I go in Costco with no problems.

That's some lowdown bullsheet right there. I need to check and make sure Sam's isn't charging us on the sly too.
