8. Unfortunately Costco is not close by, while I could walk/cycle to Sam's Club if I had to.

That one is actually clean, well-stocked and generally friendly staffed. If I go right at opening I can breeze in and out. So, when I factor the increase in gas to drive to Costco, I can't justify giving up Sam's Club...

I do prefer Costco, but in Colorado there seems to be a trend to put them in various areas right off I-25, so most will pass by on their way home if they commute north or south. Plus, you can gas up there for less. But, if you live/work in town, you will drive several miles to shop there, whether in Denver or cities north. As gas moves toward and beyond $4/gallon, that extra starts to add up. Just contemplating... sigh
