Costco, Sam's, or BJ?

We go to Sam's, or at least we used to. We haven't gone in forever, but I really liked it and it seemed to be well stocked in a large variety of things. Prices were pretty decent as well. I think we went there in lieu of other warehouse options simply for the free samples they give out! :) If you get there at the right time of day, you can get a free lunch. Yeah, free food. We couldn't resist. Costco is pretty good too, but I don't think I've been there enough times to really have any helpful insight. And there must not be any BJs in my area, I've never even heard of that one... o.o

I don't have a membership to any. I find it kind of silly to buy things in such large quantities, and I also find it kind of silly for someone like me to PAY just to be granted entrance to a store. The only times I go to Sam's Club or Costco is when I'm with someone else who is going; or when I need to buy supplies in bulk - and I go with someone else who has a membership (and just pretend like I'm tagging along). The last time I went to any of these bulk-stores was when I was having my graduation party, and I needed mass supplies of food & decorations. I went to Costco and they were OK. They didn't have as many good deals as I had expected them to - and the only thing it seemed like they had GOOD deals on was fresh produce. That's cool about your friend and the TV. I guess that's one advantage of going to these types of stores.
