Sam's Club

Before I moved to Vegas, I didn't shop at Sam's Club or Costco. I had a Costco membership for a year and never bought anything. Just never went. I live closer to this Sam's Club tnan Costco in Henderson, so I signed up for a membership, which turned out to be a big mistake.

Sam's is what I call a Costco wannabe. It's just inferior in every way. As you walk in you see the TVs, just like Costco. Except they don't have as good a selection or as good pricing.

One thing I do like about Sam's is that they have Aisle markers. I can never find anything at Costco because the Aisles have no signed. Here it's easier to find stuff, even though they don't have anything I want.

The bakery here is smaller and useless.

One thing I have purchased at Cosco is meat. The meat selection here is inferior to Costco.

They have good deals on "NY Strips", ,but the marbling is unacceptable. This is low-grade choice if not select. This isn't worth $10/lb.

Nothing I want in the product section either. You're not buying Rapini or Tomatoes here.

Walking around not finding anything I want to buy. Where the hell is the alcohol?

They have a nook in the corner where the alcohol is. Unlike the aisles, there's not sign here. You just have to know about it.

I buy wine at Costco, but they have no good wine here. All low-end generic stuff like you can get at Walmart. This of course is Walmart, essentially.

The food court is a bad copy of Costco; I haven't had the food at either so I can't comment on who has better food.

My membership is almost up, and nI think I've bought 2 items at this location. Salt for my water softener and 1 other thing I can't remember. I certainly didn't get my money's worth.

Even Sam's Club gas is inferior; Costco is a TierOne gas product (recommended for cars that require premium); I filled up once at Sam's and my engine light came on with a "Too Lean" error code; So I can't even save here on gas.

Conclusion

I go to Costco at least once a month, and I've been to Sam's only a few times and never find what I'm looking for.. Even the $4.99 chickens are bigger at Costco. This year I'll save $50 and not get a membership to this place.
