We shopped at Costco for nearly 30 years. We still have a Costco membership and also have a Sam's membership. We take the hour trip to Costco about once a month to purchase items Sam's just does not carry.
For example.......Costco carries Charmin toilet paper that is 4 1/2" wide and it is the only store that I know of that carries that size. FYI..... the toilet paper stays put on the holder and does not slide around from side to side. I MUST have my 4 1/2" wide Charmin toilet paper. Costco carries Sunsweet Prunes, not the off brand Sam's carries. Costco's Kirkland brand of cooked grilled chicken breast is the best I've tasted of all the brands I've tried, including name brands. I will only purchase the Kirkland brand of grilled chicken breast. Costco has much better frozen Atlantic salmon fillets.....Sam's has some sort of silver skin on theirs so just "NO". Costco has nice thick frozen tilapia as opposed to the very thin frozen Tilapia fillets at Sam's.
Let's see.....what else? Costco has the Phillips crab cakes which I find are tastiest with huge chunks of real crab and very little filler. You can purchase these same crab cakes at Publix for much more money. Sam's does not have Phillips crab cakes. A huge jar of Bella Sun Lucci sun dried tomatoes can be found at Costco but not Sam's. Costco carries soft soap with lotion in it. I can not find that in any store in this area, Sam's included. I LOVE Costco.
We will take that trip to Costco once a month and while we are at it.....go to lunch at PF Chang's which is very close. Love that restaurant!
