We belonged to Sams up until a few years ago when we decided not to have
anything to do with the Walmart companies because of the way they treat
their employees. Compared with Sams, Costco definitely has better meats and
more "high end" stuff like crab legs, shrimp, fresh fish, imported cheese.
You need to know prices to shop there effectively. Most but not all things
are cheaper than elsewhere.
