sams club card expires this month

[lovebears65]

Should I go renew this or Go with costco or BJ's Costco is the the most distances from my house but is close to where my Dh works.. Sams is the shortest distance then BJs.. What one should we buy. We only go every month so the distance really isnt a big factor What has the best deals

[lilac100]

I'd go with the one you feels gives you the best deals. I don't have a costco around here.

[rabx5]

I would go with anything other than Sams Club. I won't go into details, but I will NEVER step foot in their stores ever again!

 

I wish we had a Costco around here. Yeah, check out Costco

I understand you don't want to give details but would you share was this health or service related?

*waits for RossMAN to chime in about Costco being "Da Bomb"*

 

[theboyzmom]

no Costco near us either, but I've heard it's good...Sam's is the ONLY choice here

just what I was going to say

[bayhaysay]

I had to renew my Sams club membership this month also. There's no Costco around here either.

I gave up on Sam's Club. BJ's is closer to me anyway. And if I ever feel the need to go to Costco, my sister has a card for there.

[sterlingjeanne]

My choice is Costco. I generally find them cheaper, with a better selection, and it seems to me (but that may relate to my choices). I'm in FL and Sam's is much closer, and the extra drive is worth it for me.

 

I'm in Long Island some summers and there the difference btw BJ's and Costco price wise is huge. It seems like Costco's price is pretty much the same FL oe Long Island, and the local prices are much different ... so with groceries it really saves there.

 

On the downside, the lines at Costco seem longer to me.

I only wish we had a Costco. We only have Sam's so that is what we use as well.

speaking of a Sams renewal...did they always charge tax on the membership fee? Mine is up in April and I just got the bill, and there is sales tax on it. I guess I'll have to see if I still have last years statement from renewal time.

 

And yes, I WANT a Costco toooo!!!!!!

[Shortness]

I really like Costco. I have no complaints whatsoever. I have never tried Sams or BJ's though.

I wonder if that is a local type thing. I got my renewal the other day and I did not see any tax listed. Was the renewal an odd number or something? Ours is always flat fees like $40 or something depending on which membership you have.

 

 

We don't have a Costco either.

[Ripn]

Yes, the total bill is $42.04 and the club we go to is in a county that charges 5.1% sales tax.

My wife says we have paid tax on the renewal before.

[Christy Garner]

I just renewed my Sam's membership on Saturday and did not have to pay sales tax - just 40 dollars for the membership renewal but I had already spent 260.00 - uuuggh. We have a Costco but I have never been. Looks like from the positive posts, I need to check it out.

I didn't pay sales tax on mine.

[Gurnee Al]

Sams is my only choice, but I like them. We go once every week or two. It's actually less than one mile from my house.

[lori12563]

i just saw up at my BJ's that the pharmacys are closing. I dont know if that makes a difference for you in the decsion.

Looks like I have found out where the SuperBowl party will be! I have found your house with the help of all your posts LOL...j/k :)

[dmmiller]

I've just posted a detailed reply under "Sams Club or Costco" about this. I will say that my in laws joined BJ's last year and HATED IT! They couldn't wait for the year to be over so that they could switch to Costco. I am a huge Costco fan: We've bought cars through their auto buying program, we use their optical dept, we started our IRA's and ESA's through their Sharebuilder program, I buy all my meat there plus all birthday cakes (their bakery is the bomb! especially their new huge cream puffs.) The only thing I wish they carried was older girls (size 7-16) and junior's clothing.

Without reading a single post (except for Scott's) CostCo is the answer.

 

:)

[dtwdmaty]

Costco, no question. I'm a member of both (only because I get Sam's free thru a relative) and Costco is far superior. If you spend a lot, get the $100 executive membership. We basically get our membership paid for every year with the rebate.

[Kara1204]

Personally, I will not PAY to have the "privelage" of shopping in ANYBODY'S store. If they do not want my business without charging an entrance fee, heck with 'em. I do just fine on my own getting good deals, thank you...http://www.smileypad.com/v224/Happy/Grin-Nod.gif

I've had BJ's for years and I like it a lot. I go there an average of about once a week. I love Costco but it's about 1/2 hour in a direction I don't go very often. I had it last year and didn't renew because of the distance, but I miss it already. I was telling my uncle yesterday and he said he'd add me on his business account since I'll be doing some part time bookkeeping for him and wanted to look into the payroll service they offer. :) I love the organic field greens that they have at our Costco. No others can even come close to matching the quality for the price.

[supershopper1]

How is Cosco meat? I worked in a restaurant & Sams has great steaks & babyback ribs! Better then my local grocery store.
