Sams or Costco?

I'm a Sam's guy. Had 2 bad experiences at COSTCO and decided to stick with Sam's. I haven't had any quality issues at Sam's and their meat has been very good. I bought a few TV's, mattresses, and other large items without fault, so far. We mainly bulk grocery shop. I will say - COSTCO is packed everytime i drive by there...

We have both. I prefer to go to Sam's (less crowded and scan and go app). I quit going to Costco when they laid down the mask mandate. They have since backed off that so I go some. Costco is more like a wholesale grocery store with less selection. Sam's I more true to their beginnings. If you need bulk, they are better. That's where I buy diesel oil and DEF. Can't get those at Costco. Costco has better steaks for a family but, if you are planning a big BBQ, Sam's is better.
As I said, we have and use both. I just prefer the shopping experience at Sam's better.

Costco for us. We literally have a Costco and Sams that are a few miles apart.
I agree with most of what has been stated. Costco is just a bit higher quality and the Kirkland brand is legit.
With that said, I don't dislike Sams. If we didn't have a Costco nearby, we would have a Sams membership.
I'd choose a membership based on which one you would use the most. Proximity and convenience should be factors in addition to the product selection.

Aslo, Sam's mobile app allows you to do "scan & go". So you can buy your stuff on your phone and the only line you wait in is getting your cart checked on the way out of the store.

That said, I can't imagine how Costco's meat can be any better that Sam's. Our local Sam's has excellent meats, Prime and Choice cuts.
