Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's which is the best warehouse store ?

[angus]

For me, Costco is preferred, though not the most convenient. The nearest one is 20 miles in either direction from my town. We do have a BJ's right in town where my sister has a membership. I have found it to be not as well maintained and I like the selection at Costco better. I don't do much volume buying since I am single, but for those things I do buy in quantity, then it is Costco. The nearest Sam's club is around 25 miles away and the only thing I can recommend it for is that when Cheer HE powder was available, they were the only store on the planet that carried it. So I bit the bullet, got a membership and stocked up. What justified the cost of the membership was that at that point, the 120 load size was marked down to $8.00 per box from $16. So, 20 boxes later.....

Looks to me like we have a winner here, Costco.

We have all 3 and they are within 2 or 3 miles of each other. Have tried them all and have stayed with BJ's. Very clean store, very well stocked and an amazing selection of all items. Can use coupons employees are great and helpful. I have let the other memberships go and stay with BJ's. Oh by the way almost all meats are purchased there.
