Twelve days to go until closing on my Lawson home! I am going to have to get set up with household items. Which store you think has better values on things: Costco, BJ's or Sam's Club?

BJ's is the only one that takes manufacturers' coupons, so that's a plus. My dad recently put me on his Sam's Club membership and I love it. All three places have an excellent return policy. I would say to try to get one of the day passes if they are offered and look around. I find Sam's Club to have more variety than the other two clubs. Also depends on how close they are two you, though BJ's and Sam's are right next to each other.

Bj is better than sam's club in grocery and other items.

But the furniture is about the same between the two.

I've only shopped at Costco. I despise Walmart, so I stay away from Sam's too. I do really love Costco though.

It's funny because my dad hates Walmart but loves Sam's Club...doesn't make sense to me. I used to despise Walmart but I love the one in Tega Cay, so I go there often. It's an awesome store except for the lack of self checkouts.

BJs frequently puts those 60 day trial memberships in the Sunday paper. As a matter of fact, I believe there was 1 in last Sunday's edition.

I don't patronize WalMart either. I don't like some ef the things that they have been caught doing. I figure that Sam''s is the same company, so avoid them as well.

I don't pass judgement on people who shop there, but thanks for the post. At least I know that I won't be the only one in the Charlotte area who doesn't go to WalMart.

Most stuff in Sam's Club can be purchased for the same price at Walmart.

I deal with Costco as I find better deals there. BJs is nice as well.

I have a membership to both Costco and BJ's. I was just wondering if anyone found one to have a better selection of household items, paper goods, food, etc. as I would like to get as much as possible in one big shopping trip.
