Default Costco vs Sams

Took a drive to Costco yesterday to get our membership. Took about an hour to get there due to traffic in Wildwood. We bought our membership to beat the rush when it opens here.
Here’s what we found for a few of the things that we buy regularly at Sam’s:
Cheerios 40 oz
Costco 8.49 Sam’s 4.88

Canned chicken breast 6 cans 12.5 oz
Costco 16.49 Sam’s 11.98

Frosted Flakes
Costco 10.99 for 62oz Sam’s 5.88 for 55oz

I thought that when Costco opened, we might just give up our Sam’s membership, but I don’t think so. I was surprised it was that much difference in prices for some items. Salted cashews were less at Costco than they were at Sam’s.
Check your prices before you do any serious shopping at Costco
