Toilet Paper
- Costco Price: 23.82
- Sam’s Club Price: $24.58
This one’s pretty close, but when you break the cost of Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue and Member’s Mark Ultra Premium Toilet Paper down by the number of sheets, Costco comes out ahead. Per sheet, the cost breaks down to 6 cents per sheet at Costco and 10 cents per sheet at Sam’s Club.
Membership Perks:
- Costco Price: $130 for Executive
- Sam’s Club Price: $110 for Plus
Yes, a Costco Executive Membership is $20 more than the Sam’s Club Plus Membership, but the perks will help you recoup that cost throughout the year. Both memberships grant you access to savings in-store and online and these enhanced memberships also offer 2% reward on your qualifying purchases. But here’s where the savings come in. Costco offers up to $1,250 in annual rewards and Sam’s Cash Back only goes up to $500.
An Executive Membership at Costco also includes Costco Same Day delivery with Instacart and offers a monthly $10 credit to be used on online orders of $150 or more. And if you want to shop in-store in peace, you also get access to the Executive Member shopping hours Monday through Sunday before the store opens to regular members.
