I have a Costco membership and wondering if I’m missing out. Should I get a Sam’s Club membership too or are they basically the same? Or who’s better ?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to sign up for a warehouse club membership, and I'm trying to decide between Sam's Club and Costco. I've never been a member of either club before, so I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Which one has better prices and deals? Which one has better quality products? Which one has better customer service? Are there any other factors I should consider when choosing between the two? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have read review post on Sam’s Club vs. Costco but still confused between the two in terms of membership fees, store layouts, product selection, and additional services offered.

I have been going back and forth with joining Sam's Club or Costco. I have a Sam's Club near me, and I went with a family member, and there is a ton of stuff. I have been told that there are definitely more products at Sam's Club than at Costco, but I have a couple of friends who swear by Costco. Why one over the other? Or are they pretty much the same? Buy in bulk, save money.

Just wondering which is a better option. I currently have Sams club, should I switch to Costco? What are the pros? I pay like $40 a year for Sams Club. Have you ever had Sams Club and switched to Costco or vice versa? If so why?

I mostly use it for milk, bulk protien yogurt, honey, lemons, mixed nuts, nicotine chewing gum, some vegetables and gas. I would like to get some quinoa but Sam’s doesn’t have it.

Which is better in the DFW area?

I’ve previously had a Costco membership which I got for free while driving for Uber Eats during college. Only used it for the food court and gas, since I avoided big purchases.

Now I live in Lewisville super close to a Costco(6mins) and a Sam club(14mins) off the highway. So was wondering which would generally be a better option. I generally still avoid super big purchases, but the Costco brand in my mind resonates more with quality, and i have always found the ones in dallas to be pretty good with diverse products. Have no experience with Sam’s at all. Personally I don’t care about Scan and Go which I’ve read about. I more so care about their members mark brand and the quality of the products they carry in the DFW stores.

Also are gas prices different? Does Costco have better gas? I buy premium for my car who whichever is better or cheaper would be a bonus.

Edit: Also I think Sam’s is doing a $25 membership special? Saw it yesterday but can’t seem to find it on their page today.

I've hear a lot about how Costco, especially Kirkland products, are higher quality.

For people here who've had memberships at both, in your own experience, which products would you say are better quality at Costco and vice versa?

Unpopular opinion from people who shop at Costco, but I don't see the difference. They are practically the same thing selling the same stuff. Honestly Sam's club is better for scan and go check out and better prices on most things. I don't see the appeal to Costco and why it's so great. Thoughts?

Is there any difference between shopping at either of those stores? If so, what is different between the two?

So, my membership for Costco is up to be renewed this month, which I've been putting off. Sam's Club currently has a join for $20 sale going on. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the two stores? Or would it be worth it to have both?

*Edit: I ended up doing the deal! I went today and already they have a better price on some of my favorite snacks there, plus I got a soft pretzel which I didn't realize was so delicious!*
