What are the main differences between a Costco and the other two?

Thank you
Costco uses fewer suppliers, so gets deeper discounts, and uses those suppliers to make its own brand of merchandise. Less choice better quality, allegedly.

BJs is a pain in the neck, coupon centric, poor choice, higher prices.

Sams is a better grade of Walmart, and has a great meat department. Wide variety, better quality, good to fair prices.
