Sam’s has the benefit of scan and go, seeing in store pricing on the app, order pickup, and the like.


Sam's also has free shipping for Premium Membership with lots of items that aren't in their stores.

Sam's are useful and welcome across this country, we don't see Costco's when we travel, but, then, we don't drive through the richer parts of cities when we travel.

Sam's meats are excellent. We've never been disappointed with them, likewise their cheeses and many of their frozen vegetables. Broccoli florentine has been a mainstay of my weightloss program.

Yep, I see no reason to pay higher prices at Costco.

Does Costco have pool chlorine?

The annual savings on Sam's chlorine, versus Leslie's, is more than enough to pay for Sam's membership.

I am still in a Costco desert. So it makes absolutely no sense for me to get a membership unless I would go to New Orleans on a weekly basis for other things only to stop there.

I dont understand why we have a Sams club in gulfport but no Costgo along the MS coast.

In Covington, the Costco is much better than the Sams IMO.


That’s true IMO, everyone from the employees to the customers are different.

Is this at Costco or Sams? Your post didn’t specify.

This sounds like something I want. I searched Costco and couldn’t come up with anything. What are they called by item name?

Every business is a reflection of the community it resides in.
If your Sam’s is trashy, it’s because where you live is trashy.
Congrats.

I guess it’s a plus you can get your lower quality goods and a faster rate.

I threw the Costco ad away but it came in the mail yesterday and said the deal was in stores. Look up at the pic I posted; they're the same ones in that photo

ETA photo is on page 2 of this thread

There is no gristle in bacon. Brings your entire post in to question.

Not only that but this part of his post:

Worst of all, the employees are pretty much the same as walmart employees. HUGE dropoff from Costco.
the BR Costco employees are the reason I don’t belong to Costco anymore

I don’t have to talk to any employees at Sam’s

Good point. That makes the chunks of rubber in the bacon bits even more unpleasant.
