Sams vs Costco

[monkeyboy]

which is better and why

 

[ChrisnSteph]

Neither - they both have positives and negatives! Personally, I like Costco better. But I hate the crowds, so when I'm in more of a hurry, it's Sams.

Just have Costco and BJ's in my area (both are wholesalers). In terms of that comparisom though, Costco is by far better! What I love about Costco is the free food samples that they give away all the time... just keep making laps.

I have always used Costco and loved it, but now I have to go to BJ's as the nearest Costco is quite a hike. I do not think BJ's has the same quality that Costco had.

Costco's is better because there is one near me and Sam's is too far away. Actually, I like Costco. I like their meat. Did you know that they are the biggest meat distributors, either in the country or in the world, I forget which. I like them also because they have them in Hawaii and it cuts down on the cost of our vacation.

BJ's!!

BJ's!!

I have memberships to Sam's and Costco. I go to Costco when I have the time (prefer it in general), but go to Sam's when I don't want to wait in a long line.

Costco, because they are a Seattle based company and it is a good place to get dinner... I mean samples

 

[Pam]

BJ's!!

Is the rumor of a Costco BJs merger true??

 

[BelleBoo&AmisMum]

Costco - I'd rather cut off DH's right arm than shop at Sams/Wal-mart.

 

[Mandabella]

Costco - I get all my meat there. My mom and I go together and at the end of our trip...I get a slice of pizza and she gets a sausage sandwich.

And have you had their Very Berry Sundae? Yummy!

 

[AnaheimGirl]

Costco. The one by us sells gas, and Sam's doesn't.

are you my mom?

 

[nwdisgal]

are you my mom?

I might be. Who's your daddy?

I like Costco best. They have good stuff and they treated their employees better than the average big box retailer.

speaking of costco- does your costco let everyone in at 10am- not just the business and executive members? mine does. kinda ticks me off since that is one of the reasons I upgraded to a executive membership- to fight the crowds. I remember they wouldnt let me in even at 10 till 11am when I had my regular membership but now that I upgraded its a different story..

Ours lets everyone in at 10 and I don't like that. We have a business membership and at Sam's I can get in weekdays at 7AM (HA!, like I'm awake then, much less dressed and ready to go somewhere...). But at least I can get in at 9:30 and be ready to leave when everyone else comes in.

Yep and I hate it.
