Limited storage. I have a small pantry, and a normal sized fridge/freezer (freezer on top) with an icemaker taking up around 1/6 of the freezer. I don't trust our bread box for bread because of mold and cockroaches, so I keep all my bread in the fridge. I can only keep 2 loaves in there at a time, it just takes up too much space for more than that.

Paper products I can get cheaper at Walmart with a coupon, or at Staples when they have clearance sales on slow-selling products, so that's where I get them.

Watch the video, it’s an exact copy of Costco. If it were a Sam’s or Costco people would be saying that store is better than BJ Warehouse or any of the others. Just enjoy the store & pay your membership! Of course it’s better than the other 2 it’s the one coming to TV.

We’ve belonged to both Sams and BJs. The only Sams in my state was closed a couple of years ago and that was after a 1year shutdown to remodel the store. When we are up north we use BJs because there is no Sam’s. When we are in Florida we use Sam’s because the BJs store is a longer drive to Clermont. I have found the Sam’s both in Ocala and Lady Lake to be run down looking because of their age they need to remodel. Maybe with the arrival of BJs, Sam’s will sharpen up their store.

Costco by far is better than either Sam's or BJ's. If you don't know why then you really don't go to Costco enough to understand. We take a 55 minute drive every month to go to Costco in Orlando.

We always wait till the last minute to decide what is for dinner so have always had a full size freezer. It is 30 years old now and came from monkey ward but still works fine.

Once we moved here decided our pantry did not give enough storage so purchased a separate pantry closet. Turned out it came with about 400 pieces to be put together so it was a bit of a challenge to use all the parts

I belong to Sams here, but only go maybe once a month at most. That's just for one item, a pound of lump crab meat for $20, nobody else here stocks it and my wife can make Maryland Crab Cakes that are delicious. One pound can make about 8 crab cakes. That's it, I don't buy anything else because I can never use that much of any one item.

NOTHING better than Maryland crab cakes!

I'd been a Costco member for years. Moving here I wasn't about to schlep to Orlando to go to one. Joined Sam's, and I'm completely happy with it.
