I'm hoping to make a Sam's vs. Costco post at least once a month, because it's so fun to see how they stack up! Here are some deals I saw this morning while running into both stores. I really feel like our local grocery stores have better sale prices on most of these items (especially when using coupons) but if you're in a hurry this may help you decide where the best prices are at. It's so important when grocery shopping to know what your basic best prices are, so you know when you're finding a deal!
As always, when shopping these stores please go in with a budget in place (in case you haven’t heard that enough from us lately!) If you’ve found other deals that you’ve just loved at Costco or Sam’s Club, leave a comment to let us know what you think.

I’m a Costco fan and this just made me glad I am. When Sam’s wins it by pennies. When Costco does it’s by much more. Plus I so prefer their products and while yes, still a warehouse store, I MUCH prefer shopping there. Brighter AND the best return policy. So good I see a lot of people take advantage of it but invaluable when I’ve had an issue and they simply take it back and refund my money. No questions asked.
