I hadn't wanted to do it because I didn't want to pay the membership, but I am starting to realize it will probably be one of the many ways I am going to subsidize the ward activities out of my own pocket.
The reason why I bring this up is I wonder if one is better than the other? Is there a difference?

The unanimous verdict from other people seem to be that Costco is far better. I ate some very good whole-grain bread from there once, and people have good things to say about their cakes and cheesecakes. (Of course, you probably would not buy those things anyways).
My MIL was given a Sam's club membership, and put me on as the second cardholder last year. I only went a handful of times, because it didn't seem worth it to feed my little family. I remember getting a big box of great mangoes a couple times, (made sorbet because we couldn't eat them all in time) and some other produce... but I wouldn't pay for a membership myself. I seem to remember paying with a credit card though.
