Costco is just too crowded for comfort. First parking is a pain and then you have to navigate your cart through hordes. And then finally check out lines are huge. It's just crazy. Sam's club has fewer people and so shopping is MUCH faster. And scan and go is awesome. My wife just refuses to step into Costco now. We figured $20 extra per year for Sam's Club is worth the peace of mind.
We'll probably still keep Costco. $60 is a lot but even one big ticket item a year makes up for it. So we'll keep Costco for major purchases and online ordering. Overall 'deals' are definitely better at Costco. But we'll use Sam's club for regular weekend groceries. Like I said, $20 extra just to avoid the crazy Costco rush is worth it.
All three Costcos around us are a zoo. The Scan & Go at Sam's is amazing, I can't believe anyone puts up with lines. And a hill that I will die on is that Costco's food sucks compares to Sam's. We have been to all three; my kids hate their pizza and their hot dogs suck (and no sauerkraut!). Froyo is twice as much as Sam's (and it's the same stuff). I don't think you can order food from the Costco app like you can with Sam's; it's nice to just walk up and get my food without waiting in line.
I just don't get the Costco cult following. Like most places, you only save money on some things and they make it up on overpricing others. Their return policy is generous, I'll give them that, but so was REI's before it was abused enough that they had to crack down on it.
Quick note: Costco has gone up to $65 for their standard membership, so it's no longer $60.

2. I got a flat tire and had to pull into their parking lot, changed it, but my donut was low on air, and there was nowhere else nearby to fill up. So I went in because I wanted to buy a tire inflator. The greeter told me to go to customer service and ask for a one-day guest membership, customer service said she wouldn't give me a one. I told her I am a Walmart+ member, was a Sam's Club member the year earlier, and really needed some help because I was in a bind. Nope. She said I could walk a mile to Walmart down the road. I couldn't believe it- like, really? I wasn't asking for a free tire inflate service, I wanted to literally walk in and buy something.
What a great, American business that I will never step foot in again. 🇺🇸

I prefer meat at Ralphs or Vons when they go on sale. Sams has superior toilet paper, cheapest gasoline, and more brand name cereals.
Membership fees brought in $4.8 billion in the previous fiscal year, which ended Sept. 1, 2024, and $1.5 billion for the previous three months, the company reported in September. The company said it now had 77.4 million paid memberships, an increase of 7.6%. Nearly half (47%) were executive memberships.

I have had both over the years but Costco is there mainly because of it's pricing, return policy and their butcher department which is better than the other wholesale clubs (BJs and Sam's). I keep BJ's mainly because of the larger selection and smaller crowds. Sam's I have found offers decent deals and close outs from time to time but generally has lower quality than the other two.

I can pickup free tire patch anytime at my local Sam's. No ID required. The local tire manager at Costco wouldn't give out a tire cap. Higher pay does not translate to better customer service.
The made in Mexico Costco car battery has a 3 yr prorated warranty. Sam's sell made in USA Duracell with 3 yr free replacement. Unit cost is within +/-$3.

99% of my club purchase = gasoline (10-25 cents/gal cheaper). $10-$20 Sam's membership is a bargain. 1-2% long term fuel trim with a steady diet of Sammy's gas. Nothing beats clean fresh gasoline.

The Sam's club at 9900 S I-35 Frontage Rd, Austin, TX 78748, refused to sell me wine, I'm 62!
To file a complaint to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, the form requires the business's TABC license number. That Sam's refused to give me their number.
