Nah, not IMO but there were only two of us in the house. Might be different with a family.
Really depends on how much you cook and how much meat you eat. Costco has great meat and you can't really get it cheaper anywhere else.

We go every week, even if it is just to buy milk (4 gallons per week...damn I hate having 2 daughters).
Something else about buying items from Costco - they honor the manufacturer warranty and tack on another year or two, just for being a Costco member. And they are nothing like Best Buy - you can pretty much open anything and take it back it you don't like it or it's broken or whatever. Their customer service is awesome.

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.
Hard to say. I notice they have some things cheaper, like Cottage Cheese being about $1 cheaper than everywhere else, plus they have the bulk crap. I figure you probably have to spend over $1000 or so to make up for it.

All you have to do is go up to the door and tell them you're thinking of getting a membership, and they'll let you stroll through and see what's what. Then you can figure out if it's worth it for you.

sams, at least near me, is very ghetto. its messy, the staff isn't helpful and act like they're unimpressed to be working, and the meat and produce sections are unimpressive. if i go into costco the staff is much more efficient, doesn't act like you should be glad they decided to come to work today, they get you through checkout quick, etc. the meat is really good quality and the general selection of all the stuff there is better and the store itself is cleaner than sams.
so it might be a matter of location or who owns which regional stores and how they operate them...but near me sams is crap and costco is good. personally i think it has more to do with walmart owning sams than anything else because thats the same "i hate my job" mentality i get from the people working in sams. treat your staff like crap and they treat your customers like crap and walmart/sams seems to excel at that.

Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I've dealt with an unpleasant staff person at Costco...but I ran into a very lazy one this past week.
