The difference is quality.
I've been a Costco member for well over fifteen years in other locations. When we moved to TV, I tried both Sam's and BJ's because they were close. Neither one came up to the same standards as Costco. So I continued to drive down to Tampa (now Clermont) to go to Costco. There are lots of boxed/wrapped commercial items (toilet paper, kitchen appliances, etc.) for which there is no difference. But most of the foodstuffs are simply better quality at Costco: better flavor, better choice, better price. I look forward to their opening here in TV.

Where do you get the idea that most are commenting on something they have not explored? It looks to me like 11 of the 15 answers that mentioned shopping had actually shopped at more than one. Those answers have to be at least as valid as the person who has always shopped at Costco but "tried" BJs and Sams once to confirm they were not the same and now continues to shop only at Costco.
