Sam's Club v. Costco v. BJ

Stephanie13

Hello Ladies:

 We are new to Philly and the NorthEast, and never had the option of going with another store than Sam's Club.

Our membership is almost up, and I was wondering if we should stick with Sam's, or go with another one.

Which one do you go to? Why do you like it? How much is the membership? Could I get a day pass to check it out before committing to a membership?

Thanks in advance!

We belong to Costco, my mom belongs to BJs (and Costco).

 I prefer Costco. Haven't been to a Sam's Club in a LONG time.

Membership at Costco is $50/yr.

I use BJs but only because it's the closest.   I have never shopped/lived close to Sams

 

I used to shop at costco and I didn't see much difference between Costco and BJs. 

 You may also want to open a membership at the club that has a gas station.  If I recall correctly that is where you will find the cheapest gas

We go to BJs, basically because it's closest.  The key with BJs is the coupons, using the coupon books they send out monthly & quarterly and stacking them with mfgr coupons from the paper.  I've saved tons of money that way.

This and only because there is no Sam's or COSCO near me. 

My membership (through work) cost me $35 for 15 months.

We've had a membership at Costco and now at BJ's. We like BJ's the most because you are able to use manufacture coupons and credit cards ( we save big if we prepare with making a grocery list and coupons )! Also they have a bigger selection of baby supplies. The costco we used to go to only had their brand diapers and huggies - BJ's carries Luvs and Pampers also. I would suggest getting a day pass and checking it out. We did a day pass and quickly canceled our Costco membership and got a BJ's membership.
