Don't be poor. Instacart it only. That's what we do until we need a restock of booze.

Every time we went in AZ it was crowded, but efficient.

There will be a new one in Covington at the end of the month.

I strongly recommend renting cars through Costco. It has saved my arse many times. Between rental cars, tires, and gas (especially is Hawaii), I have saved a ton at Costco. Savings then quickly spent on cool, good quality camping equipment and other impulse purchases

Still love Costco though. I actually use those impulse buys so I don’t feel bad about it.

Sam's is way better about checking out.

I only go to Costco on weekday mornings.



Sams is so underrated. I open the mobile app and just scan and go with items and walk out in no time.

Don’t they have the app where you can pay as you shop? Just walk out the door… no lines

Same. Bypass all lines, and they just upgraded it, and you don't even have to stop at all. Wish they had that for walmart.

My Costco took them away. They expect you to scan bulky items using the fixed laser on the machine.


You must live in the ghetto Costco. Ours has handhelds and scan them right in the buggy. The check out is fast everytime I go. I am very impressed with the speed of the check out at our Costco


And its a busy area

I've been once.

Very crowded, and outside of the Beaver nuggets, the food sucked.

I'm the only one on the OT that thinks that, I guess. I

that they check for your card to enter like it is some elite club,


I always have wondered why the check your card upon entry and then again upon checkout.

Spend enough money at Sam’s every year that it covers my membership feee. It’s my go to store. Have a membership at both but only use Costco when I go to BR//NOLA/Hawaii. With gas prices in Hawaii I basically break even with the membership fee

Some of y’all must live near some really shitty Costcos.

Ours is great. Busy but great. We get up early and go on Saturdays shortly after they open before it gets too nuts. And the quality of product is significantly better than Sam’s here. Especially the bakery and meat selection.

Only thing Sam’s has on them is the checkout as you go deal.
