Costco vs Sams Club

[Bluefront]

There's a new Costco store opening up near me....never had one in town before. How does it compare to Sams Club? Any computer deals?

Not as many at costco .... but I tend to like costco more, seems like they carry more. (Or at least stuff I want)

Just got back from Costco. I love going there on the weekends because they have free sample of all sorts of food. It's like going to a buffet while you shop🙂

they are about the same overall

sams is closer to me than costco

Never been to a Costco, but I hear they have more electronics and computer stuff. The Sam's here has occasional deals.... it definitely has the best deals on monitors in town.

I say Sam's club only because that is all we have... 😀

I love both of em. Thank God for bulk quantities of Ramen Noodles and Prego Spaghetti Sauce.

From what I have seen Sams tends to be more blue collar and trailer trashy, Costco more upscale yuppys and asians

In my area, both Sam's Club and Costco seem pretty balanced in regards to computer and electronics offerings. For tire services, both also seem very similar. For food, Costco seems to be a bit ahead of Sam's Club in their offerings. However, I have memberships to both warehouses and tend not to favor one over the other - except for the fact that the Costco warehouse is only about 4 miles from my house and Sam's Club is about 12 miles from my house.

Thats cuz Sam's is owned by Wal-mart 😀

if you want the same name brands to be there every time u shop, Costco is MUCH better than sams. Sams tends to switch brands based on price really easily, hence sams should cost a bit less, but sometimes the few cents you save isn't worth changing the brand of salsa i eat.

we don't have a costco, so i'll have to go with sams club. 😀
