It seems like customers pick one over the other simply based on location, but if you dig a little deeper, driving a few miles out of your way to go to one over the other might save you some money.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s start with the membership. To shop at both stores you need to pay an annual fee. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.costco.com\/join-costco.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gold Star membership<\/a> at Costco (the cheapest option) will cost $60. That includes one free household card and your membership is valid at all Costco locations. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/pagedetails\/content.jsp?pageName=aboutSams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">basic membership<\/a> at Sam\u2019s Club costs $45. Right off the bat, Sam\u2019s Club takes the lead as the cheaper option. If you want to avoid the membership altogether, this is how you can shop at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/costco-without-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Costco<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/ways-shop-sams-club-without-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sam's Club<\/a> without a membership.\r\n\r\nNow, let\u2019s compare the prices of a few basic store brand items at both of the warehouses. Keep in mind that prices may vary slightly depending on the location.\r\n<h3>Milk<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costcobusinessdelivery.com\/Kirkland-Signature-2%25-Reduced-Fat-Milk%2c-1-Gallon%2c-2-ct.product.10178009.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Costco<\/a> Kirkland Signature 2% Reduced Fat Milk = <strong>$2.63 per gallon<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/2-milk-1-gallon\/prod20362219.ip?xid=plp_product_1_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam\u2019s Club<\/a> Member's Mark 2% Reduced Fat Milk = $2.68 per gallon<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Ground beef<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costcobusinessdelivery.com\/Kirkland-Signature-Organic-Ground-Beef-Hamburger%2c-4-lbs.product.11748406.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Costco<\/a> Kirkland Signature Organic Ground Beef Hamburger = <strong>$5.07 per pound<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/mm-organic-ground-beef-3lb\/prod22045086.ip?xid=plp_product_1_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam\u2019s Club<\/a> Member\u2019s Mark Organic Ground Beef = $5.99 per pound<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Chicken breast<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costcobusinessdelivery.com\/*Kirkland-Signature-Chicken-Breasts%2c-Boneless-Skinless%2c-6-lb-avg-wt.product.11340479.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Costco<\/a> Kirkland Signature Chicken Breasts, Boneless Skinless = $3.09 per pound<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/boneless-skinless-chicken-breast\/prod18860005.ip?xid=plp_product_1_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam\u2019s Club<\/a> Member's Mark Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts = <strong>$1.72 per pound<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Olive oil<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costcobusinessdelivery.com\/Kirkland-Signature-Extra-Virgin-Olive-Oil%2c-2-Liter.product.11771999.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Costco<\/a> Kirkland Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil = $8.30 per liter<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/extra-virgin-olive-oil-3l\/prod6930034.ip?xid=plp_product_1_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam\u2019s Club<\/a> Member's Mark Extra Virgin Olive Oil = <strong>$6.66 per liter<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Paper towels<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costcobusinessdelivery.com\/Kirkland-Signature-2-Ply-Paper-Towels%2c-White%2c-160-Create-A-Size-Sheets%2c-12-ct.product.11942725.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Costco<\/a> Kirkland Signature 2-Ply Paper Towels, 12ct = $1.70 per roll<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/sams\/mm-paper-towels-15-rolls-150-sheets\/prod21231906.ip?xid=plp_product_1_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam\u2019s Club<\/a> Member's Mark Super Premium Individually Wrapped Paper Towels, 15ct = <strong>$1.13 per roll<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nSam\u2019s Club\u2019s prices tend to score a little lower in the majority of these categories, but the prices are so close\u2014like the twelve cent difference between Costco and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sams-club-hot-dogs\/\">Sam's Club hot dogs<\/a>\u2013that the less expensive wholesale club really just depends on what items are on your grocery list for the week. Just make sure you don't add these items that you should never buy in bulk to your list.\r\n\r\nSomething that is important to note is that there are way more Costco locations than Sam\u2019s Clubs. Costco operates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/269769\/costcos-number-of-warehouses-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">762<\/a> warehouses worldwide, and there are only <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.samsclub.com\/our-story\/company-facts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">600<\/a> Sam\u2019s Club locations. So, before you settle on Sam\u2019s Club being the cheaper option, make sure you factor in the price of gas to drive to the store and back home.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the day, the main difference between the two warehouse stores is the price of their membership. A Sam\u2019s Club membership is $15 cheaper per year. However, the differences in the prices of the store brand items are only a few cents or dollars' difference. So, spending an extra $15 a year for a Costco membership might pay for itself if you can conveniently stop at the store on your drive home from work rather than having to drive ten miles out of your way.
