Sam’s Club Vs. Costco Prices

 

I decided to make a run to Costco and Sam's for some price comparisons.  I snagged the awesome deal from Living Social (no longer available) for the Costco membership, so today while getting my card and gift card I did some price matching.

While there I did realize that Costco definitely had better customer service.  When I got my Sam's card it took a good 20 minutes since there was only one person at customer service.  Today at Costco there were up to four employees that came over as the line got longer.  When checking out there were only 2 – 3 people per line.  At Sam's there were about 6 – 7 people per line.  Both were comparably busy.  Let's get to the deals.

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!) 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.
