Costco vs. Sams Club

I'm used to BJ's Wholesale Club but we don't have one near us. We have Costco and Sams. Which do you feel has better prices and more of a selection? Also, if you know what brand diapers and wipes they sell that would be helpful also. TIA!

Re: Costco vs. Sams Club
I have memberships for both and have found that depending on your needs is which one works for you. Some things that Sams has is a little bit pricier than costco and vise versa. I like Costco for the certain things that our household needs but my mom uses Sams club membership for their needs (she has 3 small kids in her household.) So it really depends on what things you purchase. Sams is generally less crowded than costco and I am not sure why.
Costco carries Huggies diapers and huggies wipes and I believe Enfamil but not positive on the formula part.
Love Costco!!! Mine is super clean, super friendly and they usually have plenty of check-out lanes open. I try to go on Monday mornings and the only people there are SAHMs and older people that think kids are cute. It's perfect.
I took my friend there for the first time; she's a Sam's member. She said that Costco seemed to have more organic items and better deli/fresh meals than Sam's does.
I also like that the Costco coupons generally have a diaper and/or wipe coupon each month. This month it's $5 off 1000 Huggies wipes. I think they are $18.99 with the coupon.
Not sure about Sam's but Kirkland-brand formula is SO cheap.
Two huge cans for $19... I spend $80 per month on formula - CHEEEEAP!
Has your store switched to the one can yet? I was SUPER disappointed to find out that we're getting less formula for a higher price (2lbs for 16.99 rather than 3.4lbs for $19).
We shop both Costco and Sam's. I created a price list and have written down all the prices of things we routinely buy. I create my lists and buy according to which place has the cheaper price. Ours are next to each other so it doesn't hurt me to do that.
