By grocery shopping at both warehouses, we have access to more brand and flavor options.
I've happily been a Costco member for eight years. In fact, my family loves the store so much that a few years ago, we decided to upgrade to the $130-a-year executive membership.
However, after finding a deal for a $20 Sam's Club membership in late 2023, I decided to give the wholesale retailer's competitor a try.
After a year of shopping at both warehouses, we'd choose Costco over Sam's Club any day -- but decided to renew our membership to the latter for $50 a year.
Here's why we pay $180 for memberships at both Costco and Sam's Club.
