My Costco membership is expiring next month, so I'm deciding whether I want/need to renew. We are having a promotion at work where I can get a Sam's

Club membership for $30/yr - $10 off the normal yearly price. (I am pretty sure Costco is $50/yr.)

For those who have been to both - is it worth it to stay with Costco, or is it pretty much six of one, half dozen of the other? I don't think I've been in a Sam's Club more than once so I'm not sure if there's a benefit to either place or if they're pretty much identical. The Sam's price is nice but not if they don't have the values Costco does.

I think Costco has higher quality brands and products. That's both a plus and a minus. - Pippy's Bird Sep 8, 08:25 1

I think they both have enormous buckets of pickles, and bigger containers of mustard than any human could use, yes? -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 08:05 7

  - I think I'd feel safe saying Costco has higher quality meats (though I haven't checked Sam's). - pmb Sep 8, 08:27
  - I agree with your IM. I get most everything else via Amazon Prime -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 08:11 4
    - If we had a pantry it might be a different story. - kelly Sep 8, 08:13 3

You might want to check this out. Costco has started offering an online savings account. Currently 1.85%. -- (link) - psilotum Sep 8, 07:42
Go visit yours and see (they will let you do this). We had BJs for a couple years, and then visited the Costco when it opened but stuck with BJs. - Don Homer Sep 8, 07:41 3

You should take a visit to the Sam's Club. Here I prefer BJ's to Costco but I have a Costco membership. The parents dropped their BJ's membership. BJ' - lileve Sep 8, 07:39
its sorta like the different between target (costco) and walmart (sams) really. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 07:39
