Sam's Club vs. Costco

In Mexico City, we have both Sam's Club and Costco.

Sam's Club is close to our "department" (apartment). So, we got a membership there.

However, everyone at playgroup goes to Costco. They say it is nicer than Sam's Club. Truthfully, the Sam's in Polanco is a bit run down looking...a little older. The Sam's in Santa Fe (about 35 minutes away) is nice though!

The women at playgroup are often talking about what they've just found and purchased at Costco. And, they are recommending their new finds to everyone.

One woman belongs to both. She says both memberships are necessary, which I find fascinating.

I am going to keep my Sam's membership, as it is just too convenient. But, I may trek to Costco (about a 15-20 minute walk) one day with someone from playgroup...just to see if Costco is that much nicer here in Mexico.

But even if it is...a 30 second walk back from Sam's certainly beats a 20 minute walk from Costco, with Annabelle and a stroller full of items!
