The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Do you prefer Costco or Sam’s Club? Why do you like one over the other?
Talk about it….
Costco – imho has more of the basic staples
Costco in large part because they have large parking spaces that don’t result in door dings. Sam’s club parking is horrendous.
Haha yeah right, but the majority of Costco customers don’t have driver’s licenses so it aint door dings your worried about, plus your vehicle will get broken into forget about door dings.
Actually in order to get a costco membership, you have to show your DL. So that statement is false!
I might go to Costco once in a blue moon, but not too often. When I do go, it will be when
they open in the morning and is less crowded. There isn’t anything I need in bulk, but
there are a couple of items they sell that I can’t find in other stores, so I will run in and grab
what I want, and get out very quickly. I’ve never been to Sam’s Club, so I have no opinion.
Costco, Wife is good luck charm to finding close parking place.
Downside, all the stuff that comes out of basket I had no idea was in there.
As if by magic . . . . .

Once divided list, we each had a cart, will NEVER do that again. $ $ $
I’ve been a Costco and Sam’s Club member, and Sam’s Club is less expensive. I prefer Sam’s Club for that reason.
I have memberships at both, and each have things that the other doesn’t carry, so I just alternate.
Hands down, Costco gas station is better than Sam’s, with wider lanes, more pumps, and enforcement of the one-way rule.
If Sam’s had fuel they would probably be number 1. I also enjoy their scan and go app, although you can’t buy alcohol with it. Real world problem. Speaking of alcohol, Costco’s Tequila you can drink straight while Sam’s is best used for gasoline!
Yell the word “ICE” is here and most of the Costco customers will be out of there Sam’s club wouldn’t hardly even affected, AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE FOR ME!
I love the new “BORDER PATROL” hat a friend recently gave me. Black hat with bold Gold Print!!!….. should I wear it on my next trip to HOME DEPOT OR COSTCO??
Big Lots!
Sam’s, never the mob scene Costco is and Sam’s phone app lets you shop, add items to your cart and then pay, get a bar code and go right to the door without stopping at the check out. Great when you just want a rotisserie chicken for dinner.
I’m a fan of Sam’s Scan and Go. I discovered it during the lockdown, and the checkout line went all the way to the back of the store. I saw a sign about the app, so I downloaded it, checked myself out, and bypassed the line.
