There is a new sam's right near me. What do you save money on when you buy there? Since my GF's and my kids are all grown, we don't use much of anything very fast, so buying bulk of anything except paper towels is not worth the space for us...
Dunno if I would save enough in a year to justify the fee. It is right next to a new Lowe's, which I visit once a week lately :

You have to be careful at any wholesaler. If you don't need to buy in bulk then you may not be interested. I would recommend you ask them at the door to let you look around first before getting a membership.
You usually get good deals on electronics, tools, Xmas gift baskets, camping gear, inkjet carts & toner (HP inkjet carts are usually 2 for the price of 1 at Costco), jewelry, healthacare products. Food can be hit and miss. Wine is usually a bargain for instance and so is frozen food.
You have to realize that some things at wholesalers are NOT a bargain. They figure that if they have you at the store saving money on a few things, you might decide to do all your shopping there and get it over with. You really have to look at the prices - particularly food and see if it's a bargain or not.
The real deals are usually right up front. Costco generally has good prices on LCD and Plasma TVs because they usually sell models that are about to be discontinued for a very good price. They also have a very lenient return policy.

I only have a Sam's card because it's free lol I get it through my mom's work. And because I'm a business member I get to take advantage of the earlier hours when other people aren't there.

Sam's Club for me. I have heard Costco was better, but they aren't exactly close, never actually set foot in one. The only time I saw the inside of one was on the movie Employee of the Month
It really depends on what you shop for. I got the membership fees back in honey alone...
Sam's sells video games for a somewhat better price, and has controllers in bundle packs for savings. The good things are meats as well. Chicken for example, is cheaper there than anyone else. You can also get various other products, including large containers of sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, you name it.
Some things are not so great of a deal, others are. I would like to see what a Costco is like, but since it is almost 9 miles away, doesn't make for quick trips.

When all else fails, replace the user.
