Costco. Better quality. No Walmart brands is good enough for my business.

I belong to both and shop at both.
Costco seems to be a bit higher priced, and some of the kirkland products seem of good quality.
I think Sams has good quality on their brand stuff as well. I buy from both. Sams is closer to where I live, so I get to there more than Costco, wold shop at Costco more if it was closer to me.

I've been a member of both and never really noticed a huge difference in the 2. I'd join the one more convenient to your home/office. If they are the same convenience, I did like Costco a little better mainly because the Kirkland store brand is a little better than the Sam's store brand. The Sam's here in Birmingham does seem to get better meats though.

I've had both memberships, even concurrently at one point. Costco was nice, but seemed a bit more expensive.
I only have a Sam's membership now. There wasn't enough appreciable difference between the two to warrant driving the extra miles to the Costco.

Had memberships to both...Costco's name brand (Kirklands) > Sam's. Dropped Sam's membership two years ago.

Costco's sample day is better than Sam's. Other than that, as a whole there is no real difference. As others have said, some Kirkland's branded items like clothing and food are better than their Member's Mark brethren, but when it comes to bulk items like paper plates and paper towels you're going to get a better deal on Sam's brands.
We've got memberships to both and simply buy from the one with the best deal for what we need.

Sam's because they are more convenient to get to. Costco locations suck near me.

Kirkland is better than Sam's brands.
The main thing that daws me to Costco is that the pay better and seem to treat their employees better than Sam's.

I think it probably depends on your area. The Sams here have gone to shite, but so have the Walmarts so I'm sure there's a correlation in that when it comes to area management.
Costco here is significantly better than Sam's. And in better, more convenient locations.
