IMO, Pricesmart is better and more like a smaller Costco. Cost U Less is free so there are a lot more people there. I think the produce is better at Pricesmart as well. I shop at both but prefer Pricesmart.

They are about a quarter mile from each other. Pretty easy to comparison shop.

I don't know what you consider "homegoods" but if you mean things like furniture, sheets/towels, dishes, etc. then I would say neither is dependable. Both stores carry food, paper products, cleansers, and a few toiletries reliably, as well as occasional shipments of small household appliances, towels, etc. Neither is as comprehensive as a Costco.

Problem is, you need both of them! Yesterday, trying to shop at only one, Pricesmart was out of all paper towels and yogurt. Had to go to CUL. They were out of yogurt as well. SO, now on to a thrid store. With me, it's a convenience factor, not price unless a big ticket item.
