Sam's Club or COSTCO Membership?

[druryj]

OKC is getting a COSTCO; supposedly it's going to be over near Cabela's. So; which one do you think is the better club for the average non-restaurant non-snack bar running kind of couple? Wife and I used to belong to SAM's; we let it expire but think we want to get back in...(I like going there and chowing down on the samples and goodies too).

I used to be a member at Sam’s in Tulsa until Costco opened up. I switched to the latter and prefer it for most purchases, even if the annual membership cost is a bit higher. I think the overall quality of their goods is better than at Sam’s. JMHO, of course.

We have both because Costco is so far from us, it's not always worth the trip (to The Wife, not to me!) to drive an extra 20 minutes or so to get there when Sam's is closer.

But from my perspective, if the distances traveled aren't a huge problem, I go for Costco all day long. And their snack bar is way better.

Well, since the "average" person doesn't live in NW OKC, I'd say Sam's.

When Costco puts in more locations, my answer would probably change. I've heard nothing but good about them.

So...I have a question. Does Costco sell perishable food? I tried to compare a few basics between them and Sams the other day and couldnt find anything like that on their site (Cheese, eggs, chicken, pork).

Yep, they do. They have huge walk-in freezers with fruits and veggies, and with dairy products. Lots of standing freezers with meat, fish, etc. However, Walmart has been selling 18-count cartons of large eggs for next to nothing. I can’t recall the exact price, but they are CHEAP (no pun intended).

The stuff I checked, there was no real price difference between Sams and Walmart.
I wonder if Costco would be cheaper?

Yes, and the quality of everything "perishable" >>>>> Walmart errrr Sam's.

I prefer Costco pork chops to Sam's. Oh, and their hot dog and raspberry tea.
