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.

Absolutely agree. The Costco buyers know how to get the best of the pick. Their private label brand is cheaper, yet always top quality. And no, you do not always need to buy giant size containers of products there. Most items are of reasonable size and quantity.
