We had memberships to both but, unfortunately Sam's didn't last too
long in Canada. I guess they couldn't compete with Costco up here.
There was some overlap in products but, Sam's had some items that we
liked and can no longer get.
Also, Sam's had some unbelievable mark downs that Costco doesn't
offer.
One example, Sam's had a couple of skids of Lexmark wireless 4 in 1
printers for $38.00 that were complete with full size XL ink
cartridges. Those printers cost less than a pair of the same
cartridges for my printer so I bought three printers.
We did save considerably more than the cost of membership at both
places and while we do shop regularly at Costco, there are things
about Sam's that we miss.
