Your decision just got a lot harder bro.  Honestly, I don't think there's a lot of difference.  We've been members of each and are current Sams members just because of location.  They have the same things.  It's fantastic for buying booze.

I can't figure out a difference.  I have a Costco membership because of location.

I think Costco has a little higher quality stuff. Could be good or bad. Sams is usually cheaper, but a little lower quality. I may just be dreaming this up though.

A half gallon of Ketel One is $34 at Sams.  Sams also has a legit wine selection and I'd say their bottles are about 20-30% cheaper.  Beer isn't much cheaper though.

I like Beam as well, but you aren't going to find huge savings on the middle of the road brands, mostly just on the pricey stuff.  Wine has been noticeably discounted from what I recall.

What? you can at sams at least. Also saw if you get a sams club membership don't remember how much they cost but you get a 20 dollar giftcard. So I would see how much both memberships cost and go from there.

You can only buy liqour/wine at liqour stores in KS.  That's why the 2 Sam's in Wichita have liqour stores attached to them.  Those liqour stores are in no way affiliated with Sam's though.
