Important if you have a Sam's Club membership

That is a DECEPTIVE corporate trap to catch older and inattentive people off guard. I know it is THEIR business, but that is just plain rotten.

Is Costco a part of Sam's Club. Oh, that is the membership part of WalMart, isn't it?

Costco isn't part of Sam's club....I have a Costco membership and I am one of those to wait until my membership expires to renew it....I will check and see what I find out....

Costco does not try to steal time from their members:

Thank you for your email to Costco Wholesale.

When you renew your Costco membership the renewal extends from the time you signed up for the membership.

...which is the way it should be!


I had Costco up in NY but the closest one down here is way too far for me to get to

Regular price on most things is lower at Sam's Club. Diapers and formula are worth the price of membership alone - both of which I've been spending a small fortune on.

They carry some things that other places don't. And the package sizes on food are larger. You can get some pretty good deals. But, a good sale at the grocery store will probably be a lower price than what you can find at Sam's for a lot of items. Often substantially lower. Nothing goes on sale at Sam's. For example cases of Pepsi are less at regular price at Sam's, but when they go on sale for $8 at the grocery store you can save a lot of money. And pop is always on sale somewhere.
