I have costco because it's very convenient, the sam's here is a PITA to get to..
I like sam's better though - they're a little more expensive but have a LOT more variety.
Costco has better meat/steak/food though. Costco is very frustrating in that they carry things for like 2-3 days sometimes, so you have to buy something if you see it or it could be gone.
Also, costco is debit card ONLY

My Sam's membership is going to expire soon and I just moved to an area that has both, a Sam's and a Costco.
I've never been in a Costco.
All I know is that my Sam's renewal is $35 and a Costco membership costs $50.
Is it worth switching?

Will Costco let you go roam around their store before you purchase a membership? I'd like to take a look around.

From my experience, Sam's has a wider selection of things, whereas Costco has less selection but cheaper prices. For example, Sam's might carry the Swiffer Wipes Refill for 12.99 a set and Costco would sell basically the same thing branded under Kirkland Signature, and sell it for 10.99. Costco sells a lot of Kirkland Signature stuff, which is basically Costco's own brand. This is how Costco keeps their costs lower. They also keep their costs lower by purchasing more quantity of fewer items, thus getting better prices from the manufacturer.
