Costco VS Sam’s Prepared Foods: Which One Will Take The Title

[@twillbdone3273]

I was once a Costco only then I moved to where there is both and had a membership to both. Now I am Team Sam only. Sam's just has more of what I use and better prices overall. And more consistent product availability. Costco is better looking but I am a function over form kind of gal.

[@kathlynterry8196]

Kind of like Home Depot vs Lowe’s.

[@tydurden484]

I agree. And Costco's steaks aren't as good as Sam's Club.

[@gregmortonoutdoors]

We picked up a gyro kit from Costco last week. Everything you need for 6 good-sized gyros, including the veggies, for only $6.50. We had extra meat left over, so my wife enjoyed it the next day in a salad. For $6.50 it fed three adults for dinner. You can't beat that.

[@kirstenperez4265]

The gyros are my favorite, too. I'm single, and it feeds me for over a week. But they are hard to find at my local Costco.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Although the prices are exceptional on many items like Gyros, the problem is in excessive sodium, nitrates, and preservatives that are hazardous to our health & BP !! 💔

[@briantinsley8597]

This kind of thing should be done without knowing which is which... Then reveal after you choose which is best

[@carolinebeck807]

I have Sam's and Costco less than 2 miles from my house. I used to have a membership to both but I've dropped Costco. I prefer Sam's now because they offer more selections of pizza when we're eating lunch there. I get hundreds of dollars back for using their credit card. Every time I shop at Sam's the register tells me how many dollars I have to redeem and do I want to take it off my groceries. I say yes. I get the regular membership and a Sam's credit card. I get five percent off all Fuel for our cars. I get 3% off dining and travel, meaning hotels. And 1% off everything else. the membership at Sam's is cheaper than the membership at Costco.

[@elijahrentz]

Does travel include airbnb and flight?

[@darthlaurel]

I make bone broth when I buy a rotisserie chicken. You absolutely can not beat the taste of the Sam's chicken. Costco is good but Sam's is scrumptious.

[@williamcreighton8357]

Team Costco. It's more than the food items. The employees make a huge difference on the experience at each store.

[@garryhammond3117]

Here in Eastern Canada, we only have Costco. - I regurlarly buy the shephards pie, the stuffed peppers, and the chicken taco kits. I cook a LOT - and I cannot make any of them better for less money, so the win goes to Costco for price, convenience, and flavor - Costco VS. me. - lol Great vid - thanks! - Cheers.

[@fretless05]

We actually have memberships to both. There are things at each that the other doesn't have, so we haven't been convinced to drop one or the other. We don't get a lot of pre-made foods, though.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

i find costco overall has more keto friendly options which is a huge plus for me. the roast chicken can really vary on location for both costco and sams regarding its salt seasoning level.

[@markreynolds9135]

Sam’s eggs are better. The cage free eggs have the deeper orange color. They come from hens whose diet was high in carotenoids - red pigment found in plants. The yolk from Costco organic eggs are light yellow color, the hens most likely ate corn or wheat based food.

Never pick a seasoned dry chicken over a not so seasoned juicy/moist chicken. Put your own salt on the thing. Seriously, why should I have to even say this?

[@Yeshanu]

Team Costco. Because as a Canadian, that's what we got. Plus, my SIL works there. Also, Costco has polish dogs for the same price as the hot dog. 😊

[@b.b.7948]

Which store has the better products with less junk in them? Like the bag of burgers you showed.

[@kathlynterry8196]

I will say that Costco has the better looking presentation and appetizing appearance for each product.

[@vickyr8823]

The bell pepper round went to Costco. Sam’s had the most cheese and Costco had little cheese and also parsley for garnish which was the one you picked.

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

I’m team Sam’s by default. They are the only one in town, the nearest Costco is 2.5-3 hours away. And that’s only one way! 😉 I’ve tried Sam’s Fettuccini Alfredo Chicken and it’s not bad.

[@ddc163264]

Sam's copied a LOT from Costco and then went the extra to make new products that Costco didn't offer and Costco then copied them back. Sam's is younger than Costco as Costco joined up with a club called Price Club (of which I was a member) that was older by many years.

[@bobpeterson9624]

[@jemhobbies]

I agree completely, I hate how Costco rearranges the store every week. It makes going to pick up a couple of things a 2 hour trip.

[@wilsondejesus28]

[@scottv781]

Team Costco. I have memberships at both and shop and both, but I prefer Costco even though it's an hour farther away from me than Sam's. Costco has more premium products (not just food) and I think the Kirkland brand is consistently (not always) pretty good. Sure, there are things at Sam's I like more, but if I had to choose one, it'd be Costco. Plus, I like Costco's business/employer model better than the Walton's model. I also like the Costco affiliate perks on rental cars and other stuff.

[@marlanscott2508]

Costco seems to have more variety. I also like the way their stores are organized.

[@Blufin_912]

Team Costco! Thanks so much for the great content! Love your channel.

[@WorldsGreatestRingAnnouncer]

It depends on your region. In my area, Sam’s sources its produce and meat better than Costco. However when I have travelled else where, Costco had better sourcing. It all goes down to region and the individual store.

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

Considering they are both membership stores do people usually have both? I’m team Costco. We don’t even have a Sam’s locally.

We don't have a Sam's Club in New York City Area But there is a BJ's and Costco. The closest Sam's Club for me would be in Secaucus New Jersey. And since I don't drive I would have to go to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and take the 320 Bus to get there.

[@suzylund7859]

Just starting to watch your video. I love Costco for many many things! Their $4.99 roasted chicken makes a meal, a batch of chicken salad, and a big doggie treat, fabulous!!! Their warehouse is always clean, bright, and their employees smile and look alert compared to Sam's warehouse which looks less appealing and their employees often look comatose!🥴. That being said, for dessert pies I choose Sam's which bakes the crust nice & brown where I've had greasy pie crust at Costco.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Comatose employees? LOL ! Sam's roast chickens are better, more taste. Costco's are very bland !

Clearly, I bought a house in the wrong part of the country, as I have no sams and no costco. I do have a BJ's, but it's a smaller one and they don't have the deli section or the baking section, so no bagels and no sliced cold cuts. I don't recall seeing any rotisserie stuff. Based on your competition, with the exception of the hot dog battle, I'd say one really couldn't go wrong with either product, especially if they don't have both stores.

[@joecamel8182]

[@landon_wilkinson]

Sams club is literally a glorified Walmart. Makes sense cause it’s owned by them. When it comes to how the stores are run along with their quality and cleanliness and overall care for the product and customers, Costco puts Sams to shame every time. You feel energized and happy when you walk into Costco. Sams makes me depressed.

Costco has much better customer security. My grandmother and mom used to share a Sams club and Costco membership, when my grandma passed my mom had to cancel both. But an employee in Sam's was able to reopen the account, apply for a credit card and sent it to her address. She spent 20k at Sam's and by the time the police were involved sams refused to press charges and ate the loss do to it being a tax credit for them as a loss. But if they had her charged they couldn't claim it for insurance. Just based on principle I cant support Sam's club.

Its pathetic to see, and revolting to witness the open mouth loud smacking. 🤮 Frankly... Its almost like an episode of the walking dead. Boomers everywhere, staggering around, drooling, blank stares, randomly stopping, no cart, no reason to be there... Its miserable going shopping now.
