Where does everybody get their nests between Costco and Sam's? I've been getting mine at a local butcher and Dillon's mostly but my wife and I are expecting a baby in April and are looking to get a membership back at Sam's or try Costco. I've heard great things about them but never bought meat from either. Any big price/quality differences that you have noted?

Thanks,
Jake

I think they both have excellent meat.

Costco has more USDA Prime meats than Sam's.

I have memberships in both.

But we buy most of our meat at Sam's.

Your not going to go wrong with either one.

we had both at one point and we kept going to Costco over Sams. Then for the baby we loved the diapers and baby wipes that they had there.

You can also get the Costco Credit Card and get like 3% back so it will easily pay for the membership.

That's what my wife is trying to decide too. Which one has better deals on baby items as well. We had Sam's a few years back but then moved houses and it expired and we haven't renewed yet but they just built a Costco a year or so ago and it's closer than Sam's to our house

We liked their diapers better than Huggies and Luvs. We also got formula from them and the kids had no issues with it.

We do a boat load of shopping at Sam's. I've been impressed with the quality of their meat. 

We don't have a Costco anywhere close. 

Only problem with Sam's is its almost impossible to get out of there under $300.00.

We have both. But Costco has much better customer service and pork belly!
