've heard Costco is better than Sam's


I had Sam's in NOLA and use Costco in SF, mainly because the nearest Sam's in 45 miles away. Costco does seem better and I like the fact that they have their own liquor which is made by big name companies. Bullit makes their bourbon, they have some great Anejo tequila, allegedly Grey Goose makes their vodka. Overall it just seems better organized and better customer service.

I don't buy spices at Sam's, normally, but crab boil and things like that for a crawfish boil are usually a good buy.

Yeah for crawfish/crab boils I do dump in cayenne from those big containers. I've also been known to use them as an excuse to go through the spice rack and dump in anything that has started to lose its scent. I figure the finer subtleties of flavor are lost in a boil anyway.

You're right. It's a good time to refresh the spice cabinet when you're doing a crawfish boil.

It's about $.15/oz cheaper than anywhere else. And the store brand wipes aren't half bad, either.

Diapers are a big money saver too while we are on the subject of baby stuff.

Costco has a really good pharmacy also. I commute out here for work and shop at the one in Goleta Ca. I wish we had one in North La.
