Costco or Sam's Club - which is better!! (please help)

[kmmatney]

I would like to join either Price Club or Sam's Club, but I don't know which is better. I don't want to join both! Anyone have opinions. Which has a better computer parts selection?

i have a sams club in my area, and i love the place... they dont have much as far as computer hardware goes, but some... you can also save a TON of money if you buy food in bulk from these places...

All there is around here is Costco, so I'd have to say Costco. Pretty good prices, just make sure you have room in your vehicle when shopping there!

Also, free food samples are nice.

There are both Sam's club and Costco near my house. Sam's club is cheaper to join. I wonder if they'd let me look around before joining.

I'm a member of Sam Club (we don't have a Costco here) but be careful what you buy. They really jack up the prices on some things. Pop for example. They want $6.99+ a case plus deposit for Pepsi, but you can get it at a grocery store for $4.99-5.99 a case plus deposit everyday.

Sam's. We have a Costco and Sam's around here. Costco sell more TVs and stereos. Sam's has more of the bulk items I want to buy like laundry detergent, canned good, and other household consumables.

for food, Food 4 Less is pretty cheap.

You could buy canned beans in bulk for your horse like in the Seinfield episode....

for costco only,
never ASSUME their price is always better than Vons, Albertson, or even Ralph's. they sell them in bulk so you think its better after breaking them down, but noooooo.... sometimes Costco has kickass price, but you really have to watch out.

and don't join because of the computer parts, that's why we have pricewatch.com

I don't know about Sam's Club though

Member of both, definitely take Costco over Sam's. Not only they have many more Costcos than Sams, especially in the CA area, but i find their prices much better

Another vote for CostCo, they carry almost everything.
