My first SAM'S CLUB

I used the one-day membership coupon and went to SAMS CLUB. I am used to COSTCO, but the product, layout and prices are very similar to COSTCO with one exception.

The exception is that at SAMS CLUB there are hardly any customers. I was able to park right outside the front entrance. How often does that happen at COSTCO.

They told me there is a 10% surcharge on the product that I purchase as one-day member. But manager there waived that fee. I purchased few gifts for my Japan trip like chocolates and vitamins. I bought them at SAMS CLUB because almost everything sold at COSTCO here are also sold there in Japan. That would not make good gifts.

Unlike COSTCO, SAMS CLUB takes Master Card, Discover Card and Debit card for the payment. But they do not take VISA. I have VISA and AMEX. I ended up using my cash card to pay for everything I purchased.

Do I like SAMS CLUB?

It is not bad at all. Only if they are little closer, I might consider joining. I went to Renton SAMS CLUB. I live in south Bellevue and go to Kirkland COSTCO.
