We used to have a Sams membership and maybe used it once or twice a year. We do have a Costco nearish us and we do get some kind of a deal through work on membership.

I doubt I use mine enough to pay for the yearly fee in any savings I might get, but I like going in and poking around, and their bakery stuff is pretty damn good. So why not?

I lean towards BJ's Wholesale club, but dont go as often as i like due to distance.
Costco is much closer and is almost as good, but both are far superior to SAMs Club - particularly if you buy meat in bulk.

I think it is. However wife and I do not buy everything there. We only go after looking through their latest coupon book (they only accept their own coupons). We mainly get a lot of our personal care stuff there as it's way cheaper when they have a coupon for it. Of course we do that with all our other necessity shopping as well (only buy items on sale or with coupons that make it worth to purchase).
Edit: I have the gold membership but will probably renew only for the regular one when due as we never use any of the Gold membership perks.

Never even heard of BJ's so I doubt they are around here.

Absolutely worth it.
Cheap and easy place to stock up on food, and other supplies...then not have to shop for stuff(aside from fresh fruits/vegetables) for a while.

Sam's Club? Not worth it. Costco? DEFINITELY worth it, imo.

You have to make a point of going a few times a year or make a large purchase. Like tires or electronics. It's worth it here just for the meats, but you probably have better choices in your normal grocery store than we do here.

I had a Costco membership, now I have a BJ's (when I moved, BJ's was closer than the nearest Costco). It's worth it if you shop like you would at other stores - you definitely can save money if you buy the right things. Some items are regularly priced at what would be sale prices at other stores, other items aren't really much of a savings. You also have a more limited brand selection, so you would probably want a trial membership to see if they carry what you buy. I bought a 7cu ft chest freezer on black friday so I have enough room to store the meat I buy there - a good chunk of my savings comes from stocking up on beef/pork/chicken.
