I don't like box stores because the prices aren't THAT much better for most of the things I'd buy in bulk. I've also found that if I wait long enough, the local supermarket will have products I'm interested in, for even less than what the box stores are charging. So maybe I won't buy salmon steaks at BJ's, because Stop & Shop has the same brand on sale for less per pound. The best thing about that is, I don't get stuck with 9 pounds of it in my freezer getting freezerburned because I keep forgetting it's in there.
