I really wish Costco would adopt Sam’s scan and go app. Scan the items while you shop, pay, and walk out. It’s great.




Cant agree more. It’s a game changer. You can go into Sams when it’s packed and still be out of there in just the amount of time it takes you to pick your stuff off the shelves.

Kirkland Vodka= Titos.

Kirkland Vodka is distilled in France...
"Both Kirkland and Grey Goose are made in Cognac with distillation techniques sourced from the neighboring Cognac houses. The vodkas are five times distilled in a state of the art distilleries. Both are made from 100% fine French wheat. Both use pure artesian spring water originating in the Massif Mountains of France. This water flows into cognac after being filtered naturally through champagne limestone leaving it rich in minerals and flavor."

There are two Kirkland vodkas. They have a French one, and an American one. The American one = Titos! The French one has a similar bottle to Goose.

Sam's Club is just a Walmart with bulk items mostly.

Costco. Because it’s way closer. And better.

But they are gay with the masks. I’m currently about that Instacart life because of it. frick all that



Sam's cares more about its customers. They understand that not everyone is physically or mentally strong enough to wear masks, while Costco just stands in line and does whatever they feel like to their patrons.

Nothing like paying an annual fee to maneuver around fat asses buying vats of mayonnaise and ketchup and pallets of snacks.

Shame on you! It’s a thyroid issue that I can’t help, brah.

But the gallon of Mayo is a lifesaver for making ranch dressing. And Tuna fish salad. It lasts about 3-4 weeks and saves a ton of $$$$.

I like Sam's. I personally find the meat is better, particularly the steaks. They also seem to carry more normal shite that I want vs all the organic, vegan, gluten free, yuppie bullshite that most of Costco is. If siegen was the only Sam's though, I wouldn't have a Sam's card. frick that place. I will only go to the one in Denham or the one in Lafayette. I live close to the basin bridge so I can hit either one in about the same time, Denham being a little closer.

That kirkland pesto is pretty good shite though.

Locally, I wish Costco would build a second location that's not located in Traffic Hell (EBR Parish).

There is no COSTCO near me so I go to Sam's. I'd probably like COSTCO better but it's just too far for me. With that said the Sam's near me is one of the least trashy Sam's I've been in. It's the Covington Sam's.

I eat a shite load of meat so I don't always buy the expensive stuff but I don't see how you can say this when Costco objectively sells higher quality meat.

That quality come with price, but Costco sells higher grades than Sam's

Sams on Airline in Metairie is always in good shape. People always remark about the Costco customer service but I really preferred Sams approach of just making it super easy to get what you want and get out with the scan and go app. Imo, they improved customer service by simply putting the shopper in charge of getting their goods and paying for it.

Weirdly enough, I thought of you yesterday - I went to Sam’s and some jerk almost hit my boys in the parking lot while we were loading up - so I called him a fat frick and told him to work out.

(There’s more to the story than that but too long)

I have both.

I live close to Sams and get gas there and they carry my laundry detergent and Costco does not. Sams bakery also has better cakes for events.

I recently bought pesto for 2 family members who do not have costco cards because I just wanted them to try it lol. I also used the car rentals all the time pre covid.

There really isn't that much of a difference. Sam's is closer so I pick Sam's. A lot of soys pretend that Costco is 100xs better but it really isn't.
