You're going to be happy you watched this video! Everyone knows Costco is a great place to find bargains, but do the savings stack up to those at Sams Club? This video finally answers the age old question which is the better membership Costco vs Sams Club?
I've been shopping at Costco Warehouse and had a costco membership for a long time. I often hunt for Costco Deals and Costco secrets so this video will be great because I'm finally comparing them to Sam's Club. People always ask me Sams Club vs Costco or Why Costco is Better than Sams Club and this should answer those. I know a lot of you probably watch FlavCity who makes Costco videos but this video may show you why Sams Club is Better than Costco.
Find out more here: bit.ly/3eawJg5
In this video The Deal Guy is showing you why shopping at costco may not be as a cheap as shopping at sams club. I previously made a costco shopping secrets video that you all loved, which has costco employee secrets and secrets about costco, so i hope yo find value in this video.
Don't miss these Costco deals and Sams Club deals! I hope you like the video and comment below what you think of this costco shopping and costco tips video. Use this to update your costco haul!

In my opinion when it comes to house brands, Kirkland is significantly better than Member’s Mark. Additionally, the quality of other merchandise such as housewares and clothing, seems to be better at Costco.

They make toilet paper tricky to calculate on purpose. I would think one good way to measure it would be to check the length and weight of each package. How many sheets may not be very accurate when the sheets aren’t the same size or the same thickness.

@HansProbs Жыл бұрын

your only allowed 3 sheets per wipe…doesnt matter the brand. no ifs, ands, or but(t)s. so obviously buy more sheets. TP thickness only affects the amount of soap your hand will need after the fact

Yes, one day I compared toilet paper prices with Target, Safeway and King Soopers. They all had slightly different sizes (number of rolls & size of individual rolls), so I actually had to write everything down to compare side by side in writing. Target was way cheaper.

For me Sam’s Club makes more sense. It’s 21 miles to the nearest one, vs 52 miles to closest Costco. Sams Club is cheaper on trash bags. $15 for 200. Never had any rip or be malformed like I’ve heard Costco bags are. Besides price there are other factors to consider. Are there other stores nearby that you shop at? Do you drive past one or the other more often? We used to drive past Sams club on our way to Indiana to visit my husband’s family. They moved but we still buy lots of things there. I love paying $22 for like 40 rolls of 🧻 that will last us months. Same with dishwasher detergent, trash bags, and paper towels.

I currently have both but still prefer Sam’s because of the Scan and Go feature as well as the plus membership which allows me to shop as early as 8am. Costco is always packed even right when they open their doors, but going to Sam’s at 8am has been my go to and it’s never packed at that time. The thing Costco has that I prefer is their frozen section as they have more variety of items and they also have a lot of snacks. However, I did find a good amount of Sam’s products to be cheaper that I usually buy on a regular basis.

Another great video Matt! There are other factors to consider. When I got my Sam's membership, Costco wasn't even around. Some time later Costco appeared after I had been shopping at Sam's for years. The disadvantage for Costco is the location of where they put the store. I find Sam's in smaller towns and Costco is nowhere to be found. The convenience of not driving to large cities is priceless! When Costco came to my area, the membership was considerably more than Sam's. But the one thing that remains neutral in this battle of warehouse stores is that I'll watch your videos for both stores. But I have to admit, I've been liking the bakery items from Costco lately. 😘 Thanks for sharing this wonderful insight of these two stores! 🥰

Also location of the stores also makes a big difference, many of the Sam’s nearest me have clientele that tend to “trash” the store, over crowd the store, and quickly deplete certain items (usually without fail it’s the item you specifically went to the store for). Costco’s nearest me seem to be clean and stocked well (for the most part).

I have a membership at Sam's only. My hubby has at both through my f-i-l, but he rarely goes. I think if I had the COSTCO card, I might go more often especially after watching your video. I really do appreciate your videos and all of your hard work that you put into them! The Sam's Club scan and go app is very handy as well as the members plus for free shipping.

What a great video Matt! your hard work and research for these videos are greatly appreciated! I prefer Costco because, price aside, they offer more organic items and asian food items!

I think you forgot one of the biggest attractors at Sam's Club: their mobile app with Scan & Go. Nowadays, I can walk into Sam's Club, grab what I want, scan it with my phone, pay on my phone, and walk right out without having to stand in a checkout line. It's super convenient because now I don't feel like I'm wasting time by going to Sam's Club just to pick up 1-2 items (as opposed to Costco where I felt like I HAD to fill up my cart and be judicious about how often I went in order to justify the extra time waiting in lines). Until Costco catches up with Sam's Club and makes a usable in-store purchase app, I'll stick with Sam's Club.

NO wipes are flushable!! Ask anyone involved in water purification or septic tank cleanouts. IJS. This may be TMI: I dispose of mine by putting them inside empty cardboard rolls left over from empty toilet paper or paper towels. For paper towels, I cut the cores in thirds (they cut easily with dollar-store scissors) and keep them in a gallon ziplock in the bathroom. This method keeps the used wipes from looking too awful in the bathroom garbage, which is lined with a garbage bag and stays covered, anyway. If everyone gets in the habit of disposing of them that way, a lot of plumbing issues will be avoided. Again, my apologies for broaching the subject; it's not pleasant, but it's important.

@RageQuitSon Жыл бұрын

Edit: NEVER FLUSH WIPES. There is no thing as flushable wipes. Tip, go to Costco first while checking the sam's app since they show pricing. I don't know if in-store and app pricing differs but you could even order the cheaper items for curbside pickup. My Costco has raw tortillas for $2 more AND a brand I don't like, and Sam's has the brand I prefer for the $2 cheaper price at the same tortilla count. So I literally have a Sam's membership for tortillas

Thank you for the comparison video. We have both Sam's club membership and Costco membership. I buy most of my groceries from Sam's because of curbside pickup. In my opinion, Sam's club has better meat but, Costco has way better produce. Sam's club also has the scan and go feature which makes having to run into the store fast, easy and efficient. If Costco offered those two features that might be a game changer for my family! For now, I will be keeping both memberships.

Sam's Club water at my local warehouse is $4.24. also noticed that it is reverse osmosis only while Costco water shifts among three types of filtrations so sam's club wins on always having reverse osmosis filtering which is the best filtering. Update: now it's $3.98.

I shop at both Sam’s and Costco. I have my favorites at both but for paper products Kirkland is way better than Member Mark. Also I believe you get more product, i.e. more sheets in both the paper towels and the toilet tissue with Kirkland. Based on the cost you’re putting for the soda I’d like to shop at your Sam’s or Costco it’s way more here in Southern California than what you are quoting.

Thanks Matt! I have both as well and I tend to gravitate to Costco as I think they have a more robust snack section (especially Asian snacks) and definitely more organic options. I buy my brown eggs at Sam’s!

Price is just one factor, qualities is also important factor for consideration and product comparison. Which warehouse carry more values and durabilities? I feel Costco product quality is much better than Sams as well as their generous return policies. Do you end up consuming more for the similar items sold for cheaper price? I have been to both and I feel Sam carry lower quality products to Costco.

I prefer access to as many organic products as possible, so I do the bulk of my shopping at Whole Foods and ALDIS. I used to be a Costco member when I lived in California. There were multiple Costco’s close to my home but no Sam’s Clubs. Now I live in Knoxville TN. The only local Costco is a 40 minute drive from my home, but Sam’s Club is only 5 minutes away. Plus the Costco here for some reason doesn’t stock any of the items I routinely purchased in California. And Sam’s membership fees are cheaper. I switched to Sam’s shortly after moving here. Works well for me. Thanks for the informative comparison video!
