    Hi! WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jia. Hubby’s name is Charles. Our little ones are Zara (7) and Ava (5). If you need motivation on decluttering, cleaning, organizing and just getting it done, you are in the right place. This is Real life. Real messes. Real moments. And Real love.

    The reason why Sam's club has so many snack options is because the schools middle school and high school have accounts with them for concessions for sports

    OMG, this video is right on time, great minds think alike. I needed to get bulk candy for fundraising and to my surprise Costco's candy selection was very limited. I never knew this because I never had to buy candy in bulk on a regular basis before. Our Sam's Club and Costco are in the same shopping complex right next door to each other. I went into Sam's club and used the free one day trial pass and found that Sam's Club had an entire row dedicated to candy. Since I was there, I decided to do some price comparisons. I also noticed that there was a vast difference in the shopper demographic even though the stores were right next to each other. Majority of our Sam's Club shoppers were African Americans/Hispanics and Indian. I noticed most of the Indians were purchasing the candy in bulk for business purposes. Majority of our Costco shoppers were Asian, Caucasian and Indian, very few African Americans. I must say I was thrilled to find a 6 foot African American Nutcracker in Sam's Club, I have never seen ethnic decor in Costco. It makes sense as the demographic isn't there to support such purchases. I am now a proud card holder of both Sam's Club and Costco. Each store will serve a different purpose for my shopping needs.

    I think if you do this type of video again it might be best to either buy products from both places and do a comparison or just browse and compare with legit prices. This video was biased, which is fine, but it wasn't a real comparison video.

    I do both Costco and Sam’s Club. Each offers their “unique something”. Though our Sam’s club is much larger and has a bigger selection than our Costco.

      I appreciate that they treat their employees well, but I still shop where I am getting the best deal! I shop Costco, Sams and BJ’s, getting the best deals each has to offer. Personally, Costco is still my favorite because the Costco brand is often better than the name brand.

    I’m a Sam’s Club lover, one thing to know is different locations sale different things. I’m located in the west coast so the things I buy at my store is not the same as the things I get when I’m down south. Plus the customer service at my local Sam’s is way better than the customer service at my local Costco.
    Oh the chips at Sam’s are cheaper than your local grocery stores, plus the bags are fuller.

    I actually like both but you cannot make a true comparison with words like: “I think...” I would’ve gotten maybe 10 items; staples milk, bread, juice toilet paper, paper towels, etc. and compared those items. From the start it sounded like there was already bias so nothing was going to change your mind anyway! Great try though.😊

    I tried Sam's last year because I had a Groupon that made it basically free, I didn't renew. At Sam's they look cheaper on the outside, but often the packaging is slightly smaller and when you do the cost per. item it's much cheaper at Costco. Costco also has a better food court, better quality food, better clothes, and nicer workers. The ONLY thing I like about Sam's is that you can order everything online and pick-up in store. Costco is the clear winner for me.

  • @taylorwitt9421
    @taylorwitt9421 Před 4 lety +2

    I definitely appreciate your effort to compare both stores! I loved the video, and can agree with some that comparisons could have been different. Like the eggs you compared, the yellow pack at Sams was a 36 ct for $3.89 and you pointed out that Costco’s 18 pk was $2.86 and said it was cheaper, and the grape packaging could vary but what about the net weight? I shop at Sams and our family has been with them since 2000, but I’m just starting to shop there myself for my family of 3 and I love it for meat, water, some snacks, bread, dairy products, and cheese I also shop at Aldi or Walmart for the rest. Thank you again for the video, I can’t wait to see that toy comparison!! 😊

  • @ebonyjustplans381
    @ebonyjustplans381 Před 4 lety +7

    I have memberships to both. I appreciate how Costco packages their chicken. No extra work to separate pieces when I get home. But I will.say Sam's is really consistent on what they carry per store. Each store can carry different brands or different items. My family loves the snack section in Sam's. But Costco definitely has more organic/all natural selections. I seem to have a heavier bill Costco too. Oh! But the samples are way better at Costco. I guess it just depends what the family needs to decide which one I go to. Stay blessed!!

  • @imagineplanandcreate4050
    @imagineplanandcreate4050 Před 4 lety +1

    I think the size is pretty comparable but it depends on the store. Yes that candy is always there. We just got our first time membership in July because it's 2 miles from us and we are presently surprised that some of the stuff is cheaper like snacks. The soups are good but we tend d to prefer a lot of Costco ready made just put in the oven food. So we now split our shopping between them.

When you go in comparing, don't put down the store, you haven't been in for 10 years. Even though I have both memberships, some stuff is better at Sam's over Costco and vise versa. Costco has more keto items, but Sam's has better price and tasting seafood. When you compare stores next time, be more open to each. I've watched you for a while, and this is the first video, that actually aggravates me.

    I'm glad you got the prime rib-eye on video (with the cap on) because I noticed about a year ago that one of the Costco stores I was shopping at started removing the caps off them and selling them separately at roughly $14.99/lb (now they're about $18.99/lb). The prime rib-eyes always had the caps on in the past, even when they had the caps for sale separately at a much higher price than the whole rib-eye steaks. I stopped buying prime rib-eye from that particular Costco but then I started seeing other Costco stores start doing the same thing. Now I refuse to buy any prime rib-eye from Costco if they are missing the caps (the tastiest and most tender part of the rib-eye). I encourage others to stop buying them without the caps as well because a rib-eye is not a rib-eye without the caps. The Costcos I noticed this happening at are in Stockton, Modesto, and Manteca CA (maybe a few others as well in the same vicinity). Note: The USDA Choice still always has the caps on. This comment is just to make others aware of this practice which I consider to be deceptive considering how much prime rib-eyes cost.

    I have a membership at both. I recently signed up at Costco but have been with Sams for years and shop there frequently. Not all of the things that I regularly buy at Sams, are also available at Costco but what is also there at Costco is a lot higher in price by dollars and not cents like in your comparisons. Most things are more expensive at Costco in every one that I visited. Costco is like a giant Target and Sams like a giant Walmart I opted to keep both memberships because they do have a different variety of things. I’ve been to three Costco’s near me and I still don’t understand why people pump it up so greatly like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I like it but don’t go crazy over it like many people seem to do.

      Yes - exactly what I have noticed there too. We are a business so I go in at the early business hours. Our Sams is packed with trucks, vans, church vans, etc. lined up with trailers, box trucks, etc. waiting to pick up their food. I don't see that at Costco. I'm a member of both.

    You will benefit from using the keep app. I've been harping to you about it for some time, but when you are comparatively shopping like this, it seriously helps to know what a good price is! You can even share the list with family to ensure they're sticking to your price point. It's time, Jia!

    If you want snack foods, look to see if you have a Business Center Costco near you. Tons of candies, snacks, drinks, frozen foods and a huge walk in fridge area. It is meant for restaurants, hotels and food prep, but they let anyone with a costco membership in.

    I also don't know if someone else mentioned it, but for why Sam's Club seems to have a lot more packaged for individual sale items (like candy, and restaurant supplies - you probably didn't go over there), is because t hey cater to more commercial businesses. My mom gets a lot of her officer stuff in bulk there. Especially like kitchen and stuff for their staff areas there.

    Costco and Sam’s are not far from me, but I go to Sam’s monthly. I order online and they pull everything, store it in the cart if it’s dry goods, freezer and fridge. All I have to do is wheel it to my truck (unless I forgot something). Keeps me from just picking up stuff we don’t need. They sell Kerrygold at my Sams for $7.58 got 17.6 Oz. I haven’t tried Costco yet but I love watching your hauls.

    Sometimes what I do when I try to save and budget, I download the flipp app and it shows me all the groceries in my area and their weekly ad and I compare what items are cheaper at stores. It might be some work but it’s amazing when I find incredibly cheap prices on veggies or meat and fruits at certain stores. Another thing I do is that I utilize store apps that have coupons for digital ones and I use those along with coupons from coupons.com.

    I feel like my Costco is weak in the clothing section. It is huge and they have a lot of options but we hardly ever find anything we like. Sam's club has more options for the kids. Plus the section at my Sam's isnt much smaller than the section at Costco. All in all, we shop at both places for different things. I will say we do like the produce more at Costco though.

    We have Sam's and Costco here. The Sam's locations are closer to me. I did go to Costco once on employee's night. I price compared and found Sam's to be cheaper on the items I frequently buy. They did both have similar offerings but Costco doesn't sell some of the items I get at Sam's. Does your mom have a membership to both clubs or does she prefer Sam's? Do you know why? Just curious.

    Sam's always has that row of candy but businesses buy from them a lot and people use it for fundraising as well. I've worked for a Hilton brand Hotel that bought some things from Sam's as well as when I worked for a group home and a school. I did the shopping at Sam's for all 3 places. Also Sam's does have their own brand. It's called members mark. The deer at Sam's were a 3 pack. Also the instant pots you compared were different types with different functions. Our Sam's has the same carts as your cosco. I can't believe Sam's had no samples when you went! We don't have a Costco here so I've never been.

  • @daniellebudick9485
    @daniellebudick9485 Před 4 lety

    Im so glad you did this! Just in the last few days I was considering getting a Sams Club membership, Costco membership was up. Costco has really let me down lately, they have stopped carrying their brands in several items I was used to buying. 😭. But what won me over was this video into keeping Costco. Costco has more options and more healthy options than sams. Sams had more junk food, not a little of organic and not a lot of their brand items. Annnnnnd no samples at Sams????? Oh heck no! That's how they get me at Costco lol, last time I went Costco had their cauliflower crust pizza as a sample. Yummmmmmm! And I hate cauliflower! Needless to say, I walked out with cauliflower crust pizza! I'm not keto or low carb, so it was a great option for me.
    You are the best Jia!

    Team Costco!!! ❤️❤️!! Mainly because I work there. But also because of how much neater Costco’s are.. how they treat employees/pay us and so on and so on. I’ve been to Sams. Everyone likes Sams because you can get the “50 box of Funyuns”. It’s basically an oversized Walmart is what I try to tell people. But yeah.. How I see it is heavily processed food you can get at Sams vs. Healthier options at Costco. Team Costco!! 😉❤️ but of course... to each their own😌

    Great video! I had a Sam's Club membership for no less than 35 years, if not more. We finally switched to Costco this summer. I've not bought organic meat at either, but what I have bought in the way of meat at Costco has a much better flavor than what I was getting at Sam's. There is a much wider variety of snack foods at Costco, especially in the healthier options. The produce department is very different between the two stores. I won't buy the eggs at Costco. Don't know if the ones I picked up were old or what, but were VERY hard to peel the boiled eggs. I'll get the eggs from Publix or Walmart. With both, it's hit or miss as to whether you'll find the same things from one week to the next. Sam's doesn't move items around like Costco does, so the aisles are labeled at Sam's. Wish Costco had a Scan & Go app like Sam's has. I'm in Florida, if that matters.

    "...Tilapia is a made up fish... hahaha! That made me lol. My Costco carries English muffins but it may be a regional thing.The Cretors popcorn may have been marked up because there's a coupon coming 10/30. I remember reading that Costco markets to the upper middle class market and Sams to the middle middle class market. Of course there's overlap.

    • @kukigabor5291
      @kukigabor5291 Před 4 lety

      S Hartman: English muffins are a nationwide thing... A COSTCO's mandatory item. I love Costco being and upper middle class shop (i.e. $6.99 for the same product) vis-a-vis Sam's middle-middle class for $6.98 (an equivalent product).. My general view, nothing to do with particular products... LoL... Moral of the Story: if you don't pay at the bridge, you will pay at the gate... In other words it boils down whether the membership differential of some 15-20 bucks is that much of a value to a corresponding member vis-a-vis quality of the product(s) we are looking for.. The all (BJ's included) have to be competitive, hence picking products w certain twists and variety.. Go and Shop Folks.. this Continent values the economy... love you all...

    Costco has a bread called La Broiche, and first time trying it, was soooo good, used it as a french toast and now won't buy other bread for that reason. It comes in a twin pack for around $6 but makes french toast a LOT more better than texas toast believe it or not. So I cooked a LOT of french toast and froze it, all you do is put some butter between the slices, in a microwave, and bamm, breakfast! I make my own syrup as well. Pecan butter flavored. I have not seen a Sam's club in over 17 years to date, so don't know if I should give it a try. Waiting on your comparison...
