What Is the Best Warehouse Shopping Club?

BJ’s, Costco and Sam’s Club all offer substantial savings on food, clothing electronics and more.  But which club is the best?

If you’re looking for the best place to save money on groceries, Sam’s Club is the clear choice, according to an AARP study.  AARP purchased 30 common grocery items at each of the big three stores and found Sam’s was about 16% cheaper.

AARP’s grocery basket cost $81.60 at Costco, $81.33 at BJ’s, and $68.94 at Sam’s Club.  The Sam’s Club groceries were more than $12 cheaper than the other stores.  Examples of big savings include:

• Ice cream $1.40 at Sam’s, compared to $3 at BJ’s and $3.78 at Costco
• Mixed berries $2.40 at Sam’s, compared to $5.33 at BJ’s and $4.23 at Costco
• Orange juice $1.78 at Sam’s, compared to $1.90 at BJ’s and $2.23 at Costco.

AARP concluded: “Sam’s Club was by far the cheapest of the three warehouse stores, which has a lot to do with its parent company, Walmart. “The reason Sam’s Club is the least expensive of the three is because of Walmart’s buying power,” says Howard Dvorkin, chairman of Debt.com. “That said, they don’t have the premium brands Costco typically has.”
