Costco? I'm not "getting" it.

We belong to both Sam’s & Costco (they are only about 1-2 miles apart on the same main street.) To me, there’s a big difference in quality between the two. The only reason we still belong to Sam’s is that there are a few products we use that they carry and Costco doesn’t.

Prescriptions, contacts, glasses, tires, car rentals pretty much all done through Costco. We usually buy all our meat there, plus cheeses. Fruit & veggies plus the Taziki dip and Wholy Guacamole. Books are often cheaper there than the eVersion. Clothing is a good deal as well. One thing that makes Costco appealing to me: I know that all their products are fully vetted, especially their Kirkland brand products. And they fully stand behind what they sell. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a dud there, and I’ve been a member since they were Price Club. So I can go in and buy at a good price and not worry about the quality.
