Doesn't Costco and Sams sell US prime?


It is VERY hard to beat Costco's Prime Brisket prices. A lot of their Prime prices are the best in town. We shop at both Sam's and Costco but much prefer Costco. Although the Scan N Go app at Sam's is AWESOME.

Never been to a Wal Mart or Sams, but I hear they are less than pleasant.

Been to Costco once, seems like the Chik Filet of customer service.

Your "what's for dinner" pics are constantly being pilfered on the OT's "Lunch thray". Your grilled chicken tenders mostly

Sam's has stepped their game up lately. Prime beef just like Costco.

The problem with Wal Mart is that when you come from a small town and they open a Wal Mart there, it causes all your buddies businesses to close.

For that reason, and because of "the people" at Wal Mart, I don't go there.

Costco and it isn't really close. I'd probably go to Sam's if I lived somewhere like Lafayette.

In Portland, we have like 10 Costcos. No Sams. No Walmarts. Portlandians prefer Fred Meyer to Walmart, so Walmart hasn't build a superstore in Portland, although there are a couple located well outside of town, like in Hood River. Walmart is building neighborhood markets around town - just no superstores.

That's just fine with me, because if I could choose to have 10 Costcos or 5 Costcos and 5 Sams, I'd take 10 Costcos. I have 3 different Costcos that I go to, including one that I can walk to.

In Dallas Costco and Sam's have great meat.

Walmart is aimed at a different consumer...not bad, but not like the 2 above.

Is this a trick question? Costco easily. The day Costco opened I threw away my Sam's card. The only thing I don't care for at Costco are the Columbus brand cold cuts, so I buy elsewhere.

Quick great meal from Costco, a package of spinach and cheese ravioli, add parmesan to their lobster bisque, making it an lobster alfredo, pour over the ravioli in a baking dish, sprinkle the mozz and bake until brown and bubbly. I sometimes crumble Italian sausage over it, people think I worked my butt off.

The best brisket I ever made was Prime from Sam’s.

I’m with fin. Great beef selection. Whole filet for $100 is one of the best deals in town.

What’s wrong with Lafayette’s Costco? It’s better than the local Sams IMO

I have never seen Prime brisket at my local Sam's. I get it for less than $3 per pound from Costco. That's usually the Select price at Sam's. I do prefer the ground beef at Sam's though. And the Brown Sugar Bourbon rub.
