56 miles, 1h1m.
Sam's is 37 miles, 43 mins.
I prefer Costco immensely more, but that extra time... it's more than 17 minutes difference, because it's all in the city and going down south is where the traffic is the worst. It's easily an extra hour on the trip to hit Costco instead of Sam's.
Although... one of my partners went to Sam's the other day and they FINALLY have Prime briskets!!! W00T! Now, if'n they'll start carrying pork bellies and Prime steaks, I might be willing to switch.

- If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I'm 8.5 miles from Costco.... and hardly every go there, as it is "way across town" compared to Sam's Club, which is 3 miles from the house!
. It's all relative I suppose. I only go there to refill my propane tanks, and to buy brisket, 3-4 times per year. Propane and brisket are the only reason I renewed my card last year, as it had been expired for 5 years before that. We just don't like dealing with the crowd at Costco, and it is always crowded.

0 miles, I live in the place. I also go to Sam's, Whole Foods, Central Market, HEB, and 2 local butchers to procure meat. I love hunting for meat deals, it's like an addiction.

22" Weber Kettle w/SNS, 18" WSM, Bronco, Grilla Chimp, Traeger Tailgater, UDS, Camp Chef Tahoe Stove.
20 minutes to Costco in north GA, 15 min to Sams. We belong to both. My problem is that there is a Cabelas next door to Costco and we pass a Bass Pro Shop on the way to Costco. So we usually go to Sams cause my wife wants to keep me away from fishing gear, knives and side arms. I try to go to local butchers for meat.

We also have a Sam's just a mile and a half up the street that we also frequent.
