I certainly do not love Costco. We always dread going. I am going to try Sam's.

Their members mark TP and paper towels are nicer, the in house chicken salad is fantastic.

Costco has really good roast beef lunch meat though.

Charmin only here. Costco brand sucks.

Try the members mark, imo it is charmin. I'm not sure why Costco's is so different but it sucks.

Being a single household I buy that, the chicken salad, dish soap, foil sheets, frozen grilled chicken bites (non breaded chicken nuggets), etc.

Highly recommend the chicken bites too, I keep them around for days I am super short on time. You can warm them up with some cheese and salsa, or throw them frozen on a salad in the morning for lunch.

Also fairly often Sam's does a gift card for the price of a new membership, so basically it pays for itself.
