Ask:
Lets do a survey.
Are you a member of a big-box membership store like Costco, Sams Club or BJ's. Or are you a member of more than one?
Why? What do you like about your store?
Answer:
We only have a Sam's club near us so that is the one we have. No other choices......
Answer:
We have Costco and Sam's club memberships. The Sam's my DH gets free through his job, we don't use it as much. Costco is where I get all our prescriptions, alot of books and printer ink. I really like alot of their foods as well. Over all I think we get our money worth.
Answer:
Sam's is the only one convenient to us. We use it sporadically and stock up on certain things we know we are getting good deals on. Things like diapers I can usually get cheaper elsewhere between sales & coupons, but there are some frozen things we get as well as tires there.
I really like Costco, but wouldn't drive the hour to get there often enough to join.
Answer:
We use Sam's. I love them for their paper products and diapers. I buy the big box of Member's Mark daipers and it's only around $20. They have nice furniture too...although I'm not in the market for that right now...doesn't fit the budget
Answer:
We have Sam's and we live nearby this store. We have not shop there for a while, but will plan to stock up the freeze foods and neccessity that will help save our money rather than go to Kroger to shop every week to buy the meats & etc..
Answer:
We have costco close to us, sams and bjs a little further away. I use costco b/c it's close and easy. I buy milk, meat, groceries, frozen items, pretty much everything there, except fresh produce I tend to buy at the grocery store. It's well worth the money for milk alone. If you have the executive membership you get costco rewards back, pays for itself if you go as much as I do!
Answer:
I was hoping you'd have the option of "none". We've got Costco and Sams near us but I've never been able to get past the idea of paying a store money to shop there.
When I did the math, I'd have to shop there an awful lot (and subject myself to a lot of additional temptation) in order to even make up the cost of the membership.
Answer:
We have a Sam's and it is $35 a year. I more than make up for that with the savings of shopping there. My husband loves fruit 2oh and they sell that by the cases. I buy big boxes of go-gurts there for the kids' lunches and I got oa box of 1200 paper plates for $13. Can't beat that price! Dishwasher soap, oatmeal, big containers of vanilla, brown sugar etc are all way cheaper there.
Answer:
Sam's because it's our only choice. I would rather have Costco &/or BJ's. The nearest ones are about 80-100 miles away!
