i have memberships to Sam's, BJ's and CostCo.
I find BJ's and Sam's to be about equal. Everything that could be said about Sam's has already pretty much been laid out above.
Except for the fact that in NJ Sam's doesnt accept credit cards. You have to apply for a Sam's credit card or use cash. I find this inconvenient for several reasons:
1. if you are going on a big shopping trip and are buying things in bulk it is not uncommon to spend a lot of money. If you dont carry cash, like i do, this is not convenient.
2. if you do have to apply for the Sam's card, you need to pay it in full every month because the APR is through the fuckin roof.
However, the $40 membership is worth it because of the alcohol prices alone.
Texans are lucky.
