After seeing a "special" for a discounted Membership to Costco, I decided to go ahead and purchase. There was some problem with online sign up, so I sent to the store and was told that they would not honor the special online membership purchase price b/c it was from a 3rd party. But went ahead & purchased one from the store. I was rather disappointed after looking at merchandise on pretty much all the aisles. Costco was really not much cheaper than Walmart or other local store's prices. It seems that Costco has a larger variety of big ticket items than Sam's Club, like furniture, mattresses, appliances. But if looking for everyday items that most of us use all the time, like milk, eggs, butter, meats, frozen foods, I think Sam's Club does a better job at stocking those types of staples. Sam's Club also has better pricing for meats. But Costco does offer a Money-Back Guarantee on Membership, so if you cancel before 1 year, you can get your money back if you're not happy. Also Costco has special sales prices, but as they usually are only for 2-4 days, it makes shopping more frustrating. Just give discounted prices all the time. That's why people purchase Memberships!
