the differece between "me too" and "the same as me"

when we usually respond to others' words, like greeting or statements, how to choose the correct one in different various scenes?

Additional Details:

Once, a lady and I were to say something about buying clothes, I was after her, thinking that we had the same idea, therefore I said "Me, too."
And the teacher told me that I was supposed to say "the same as me."

    I've noticed for myself, I will usually use "same as me" when I am comparing myself to someone or something in a statement, and "me too" as a response in a casual conversation. Everyone has their own speech patterns, though. I don't feel that it sounds especially awkward or out of place used otherwise.

    Same as is used to say two or more people, things, events etc are exactly like each other:
    - He gets the same pay as me but he gets his own office.

    Too in the end means 'also':
    - There were people from all over Europe, and America too.
    - Can I come too?
    'I'm feeling hungry.' 'Me too.'
