Let's Talk BJ's

[thechickencoop]

Not THAT kind.

Does anyone belong? We don't have a Sam's or Costco nearby and it's been years since I've been in a BJ's. If you have a membership, where do you feel like you really save? We got a coupon in the mail for a year for $25, which is like half price I think. Worth it? No? I know it depends greatly on what I would be getting there.

I'm only here for the blow jobs.

But also...

I have a costco membership (similar, but I think a little better than BJs), and it's worth it. We buy all our toilet paper, paper towels, etc. there. It's also been great for parties. And I have gotten some wonderful spur of the moment deals, too, like a vanity mirror for $20 when normally they are $60, a motion-sense trash can for $40 when normally they are over $100. I also buy grass seed, weed killer, bug spray, sunscreen, vitamins...

Basically, do it.

I used to work for a company that had our kiosk in BJs, so I shopped there a lot. Big savings on paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins etc), laundry detergent and meat. Pretty much anything that you would buy in bulk anyways. Since it was only MH and I we didn't have a need to buy our produce, bakery items, and dairy there because there is no way we could have gone through a gross of eggs in a reasonable time. I know it's more like 36 eggs but it feels like a gross when you're buying them. So the disadvantage was, at least for us, is that you still had to go shopping at a regular supermarket.

I did like that they have a monthly coupon book that they send out each month and there are also weekly coupons in the store. So there are added savings on top of that. Some also have delis and lunch meat that's an enormous savings compared to the regular grocery store. We don't shop there now because I don't have the space anymore for all the stocking up I used to do.

ETA: I've also gotten great deals on TVs (60" tv they used for demo, for $350 after the holidays) and furniture. Oh and printer ink. Huge, crazy savings on printer ink, so much so that my current company buys their ink from BJs.

We've had a BJs membership for a few years, and we like it. We cheap out, though, and let our membership lapse for a few months every year and then find a really good deal for renewal (last year it was $10). Mostly, we get diapers, wipes, paper towels, and toilet paper, and the savings on just those is worth the membership. They also have gift cards for sale, and we buy some of the "extreme" deals (like $40 for $50 in gift cards for a place we go a few times a month). And the coupons can be pretty awesome, especially if you're flexible on what brand of a product you buy.

We have BJs membership on and off...we usually wait for a good deal to re-up like sweetmelissa5.
I like the deals on some "big ticket" items along with all the staples.

[sleepymonkey]

We have had a membership for years. It's great for baby products like diapers, wipes and formula, especially since they always have coupons for those items. I also get razors there because the ones I buy are so much cheaper there per razor. Laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent are often good deals as well. But unlike most people, I actually find their paper products to not be a deal. I get better deals on those at Target or Walmart when they're on sale.

[risscaboobs]

Rude. I thought we were going to give away trade secrets.

[akraus2015]

I definitely thought we were going to talk about naughty sex acts. I've never even heard of any other kind of BJ...

We can discuss them. They are playing the Yankees tonight. They haven't won a world series in over 10 years, but i'm sure they could win again some day.

[lilsneezy]

I have a BJ's membership but I mainly use it for our business. It's great for things like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. I don't know about other stores but our BJ's has a gas station that you can get a discount at if you use your BJ's card. That alone makes it worth the membership, IMO. Especially at $25/year.

I am disappoint.

Use your hands and don't forget about the balls.

Oh, and we had a BJs membership but only went once. We aren't "but in bulk" kind of people.

You sure about that? 

[thechickencoop]

Bwahaha. Ok but thanks all. I think we're gonna sign up. Not much to lose for $25. Plus ours has gas and an auto shop so maybe we can score some deals there too.
