Costco or Sams Club which is better and why *Poll*

With the rugrat on the way I guess we should look into getting a membership to one of the "buy in bulk" stores. Id like to know where you guys go and why. Id also like to know what to stay away from, I know that "5 gallon jug of jelly is cheap but do I really need it?" kid of thing and what are the products that make sense to purchase in bulk. Thanks in advance.

Costco is great. I've been in Sams and was disappointed. I'd choose BJ's over Sams.

Costco is Norstroms; higher quality items as well as bulk items.

Sams is bulk packaged Walmart items.

I had a Sam's membership for a few years and I grew tired of the place. We always dropped at least $200 when we went there, it didn't really seem like we were saving all that much money buying in bulk. Plus the clientele there seemed nearly as bad as Wal-Mart.

Haven't been in a Sam's for years, but I've been a Costco member since '04. My biggest problem with Costco is that they don't sell many "low fat/healthier" products. I was there today though and bought a 2 year membership to 24 Hour Fitness. Comes out to around 12.50 a month.

Yea, sometimes it doesnt really pay off much to buy in bulk.

I like going into Sams just to look around sometimes, but i dont really buy much there.

I've only been to Sam's.

My recommendation is to get the membership, take a pen and paper and a calculator (or if you are fancy, use your smartphone) and determine what the savings is vs. where you normally shop. Some things aren't cheaper.

My experience is they have giant boxes of shit, but most of it isn't the flavors I want. If it isn't much cheaper, just buy the kind you like.

DEFINITELY buy meat there and freeze it. Way cheaper than the gocery stores here.
