Similar in scale and selection to its well-known competitor, BJ's offers a mammoth shopping experience bursting with deals, perfect for families and anyone who loves to stock up on everything from groceries to electronics.

Here's what you can expect at BJ's:

Warehouse vibes: Prepare to be wowed by the sheer size of the place. BJ's is a sprawling labyrinth of aisles, stacked high with pallets of goodies just waiting to be discovered. Think industrial chic meets bargain hunter's paradise.

Mega-selection: You name it. BJ's probably has it. From household essentials and groceries to clothing, electronics, and even furniture, the variety is truly impressive. Plus, they carry a good mix of national brands and their own private label products, often at lower prices.

Family-friendly focus: Big families rejoice! BJ's caters to your needs with bulk packages, family-sized portions, and plenty of kid-friendly snacks and toys. Plus, their membership deals often include family passes, making it an even more budget-friendly option.

Savings galore: The magic of BJ's lies in its wholesale pricing. Buying in bulk can save you serious cash, especially on household staples and non-perishables. Plus, they have regular coupons and promotions that can further sweeten the deal.

Of course, no warehouse experience is perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Membership required: Unlike some other stores, BJ's requires a paid membership to shop. Consider your shopping habits and family size before taking the plunge.

Bulk can be overwhelming: Buying in bulk is great for savings, but it can also lead to impulse purchases and wasted food if you're not careful. Plan your shopping list and stick to it!

Prepare for the crowds: BJ's can get busy, especially on weekends. Be prepared for longer checkout lines and some navigating through shopping cart traffic.

Overall, BJ's Wholesale Club is a fantastic option for families and anyone who loves to score big savings on a wide variety of products. Just be mindful of the membership fee and the potential for overbuying, and you're sure to have a treasure-hunting adventure that leaves your wallet happy and your pantry stocked.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (minus 0.5 for the membership requirement and potential crowds)

I hope this review gives you a good sense of what BJ's Wholesale Club is all about....

I’ve gone to this BJ’s for the last 11 months after moving to the area and have had zero complaints until today . Every experience up until today was 5 star or above but what happened today wasn’t simply a mistake it was downright violating .

My wife and I hold separate BJ’s accounts ( we had them prior to being married and out of really just sheer laziness we haven’t combined our memberships ) and so we’ve been shopping in BJ’s and utilizing our individual memberships to navigate around the 1 maximum per item restrictions that have been enforced . I mean , if we’re paying as two separate entities aren’t we then entitled to experience two separate shopping experiences ? Every other day , until today , this was understood to be in fact correct and was largely unquestioned.

Until today .

My wife and I walked our cart up to the cashier and I observed her removing items . Recognizing that she was simply following her store protocol I kindly explained that we were in fact going to be paying for select items independently and under the protections afforded to us by our 2 separate memberships .

She refused to accept this rationale and as such proceeded to interrogate and degrade my 9 month pregnant wife and I .

She demanded , in front of a crowd of customers and staff , to know 1. If we were married ( to which I informed her she was of no authority to ask that question or receive that answer ) and 2. If she was pregnant was I not the father ?!

My wife and I have endured numerous issues with multiple pregnancies that ended in immeasurable losses , physically and emotionally , and to be interrogated and degraded like this was a reopening of those memories and wounds .

I will be returning tomorrow ( bc we had to rush out to pick our daughter up from school ) and I will be contacting an attorney unless the employee is terminated effective immediately upon alerting a manager...

We just moved around the neighborhood and so I signed up for a membership at this location since it was convenient for us. I came into this store really wanting to like it. I kept giving it the benefit of the doubt—trying to justify the coupons, the sales, the promotions—because I wanted to believe it was worth it. But after my latest experience, I can’t ignore it anymore.

A month ago, I participated in their promotion: Spend $100, get $20 in rewards.

So now when I tried to claim my reward, suddenly no one in the store seemed to know what I was talking about. I spoke with three different employees, and instead of helping, each one brushed me off and told me to “call corporate.” Not a single person tried to actually understand or resolve my issue. I felt dismissed, belittled, and cheated.

It’s not even about the $20—it’s about the principle. If the store runs a promotion, honor it. Don’t act clueless when customers try to redeem what they rightfully earned. The entire experience made me feel scammed, and the lack of accountability and empathy from staff was some of the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered.

End result? No $20 reward, no resolution, and no reason for me to keep my membership. I’ll be cancelling.

If this is how they treat loyal, paying members, I can only imagine how many other customers have gone through the same thing and simply gave up. BJs may look appealing with their flashy promotions and discounts, but at the end of the day, it feels like a bait-and-switch. I’d rather spend my money somewhere that values honesty, accountability, and their customers.

To anyone still reading, here's my advice: Dont bother signing up for this crappy store. Stick with Costco, and Amazon Fresh, they have superb customer service...
