    You don't realize how good you have it.

    My closest Sam's is 25 miles away. The closest Costco is almost 90.

    And when Jolly says Sam’s, he means some guy named Sam that sells a whole bunch of stuff out of his barn.

        That is one advantage of the DC suburbs. The traffic is bad, but you have at least one of every brand name store within driving distance.

        Costco was a couple miles south on Route 28, Sam's a few miles north up 28.

          I don't even know where the nearest of either is from me.

            Which is why Dollar General rules the rural route. I can draw a ten mile circle, and encompass five of them.

              Costco: 1.6 miles
              Sam's: 5.4 miles
              Family Dollar 1.4 miles
              Wally World 2.7 miles

                  LOL! We are fortunate to have been able to select a home location that puts us relatively close to a lot. 10 min from retail, 5 min from the country (cornfields and rodeos), 20 min from downtown, and a bunch of lakes/parks nearby.

                        I basically drive past 2 Costcos, 2 Sam’s, and a BJ’s Wholesale on my daily commute (15 miles) and that doesn’t include the Costco that is closest to me (1.2 miles).

                            I have been a member of Costco for 3 years. Been there once. I need to cancel that membership. I keep forgetting.

                              I'm on Costco's home turf. There was one Sam's Club in Seattle - it closed down. Nearest one now is 800 miles away.

                                It doesn’t renew on it’s own, so you shouldn’t need to worry.

                                  Here’s the thing about Costco speaking as a vendor… There is no other business out there that works harder on getting their members the highest level of value and service. The steps they take to make sure you are satisfied are astounding. You are always assured of a minimum level of quality and value as well as after sales service.

                                      Good to know. Usually store-brand items are not the best, but Kirkland (Costco's brand) is usually a really great product (food or not).

The steps they take to make sure you are satisfied are astounding. You are always assured of a minimum level of quality and value as well as after sales service.

                                        Good to know. Usually store-brand items are not the best, but Kirkland (Costco's brand) is usually a really great product (food or not).

                                        Yeah - Kirkland is sourced from category leaders behind the scenes. Typically very high quality.

                                          Costco and Sam's are about 2.5 miles away from me , and are less than 1/2 block from each other. I've never been a member of Sam's and now only use Costco mainly for gas.
