Then our daughter joined and she put us on her BJ's account and we have been members for free for the last 10+ years although I think we went there maybe 3 times in all those years.
My sister and I shared a BJ's membership for several years when we both lived up north. She kept it after I moved down here, but there was no BJ's near me in the Villages so I joined Sam's. They had a special where you could join for $45 and they gave you $45 Sam's Club credit. $45 worth of free stuff for the win. Great hotdogs. Didn't buy much else the whole year so I didn't renew.

Sister still has BJ's, there's one where she lives now in another part of the state. Now that there's one going up closer to me than Sam's was, AND with golf cart access, I'll probably share hers again and give her half the price of her membership.
