Here's a price comparison on all the same items on sale at Sams and Costco beginning in November. I took both sales ads and saw what items were on sale at both stores and price compared them. The tags will not show the sale price because I went a few days early– (ugh! so you'll have to trust me on these. 😉 Sam's ad started yesterday and Costco's sales begins today.
As always, when shopping these stores please go in with a budget in place (in case you haven’t heard that enough from me lately!) We would love to know if these prices are consistent to what you see in your hometown (remember, Shannon’s shopping in Huntsville, Alabama and I’m here in Columbus, Ohio), and 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.
