Editor: They had a soft opening last week; the grand opening will allow those who do not have memberships to take advantage of any savings. I Agree (1) - I Disagree (1)
We walked around the store today...I can not figure out what people think is so great about it...WOW you can save a dollar on 36 rolls of toilet paper! well worth your forty dollars plus membership fee. Where do you people shop that makes this place so great?
Editor: You have to do some comparison shopping. Some things I get a lot cheaper at the local supermarket, some things I get cheaper at BJ's. I Agree (5) - I Disagree (0)
There are some items you just cannot beat at a BJs price...throw in the fact you can use manufacturers coupons and the savings really stack up...A membership is worth it even if you only use it to gas up your vehicles...
Of course we comparison shopped...thats how we figured out that a can of cat food, for example, cost the same as Wal-Mart the only difference being at BJ's it comes in a bigger box!
