While I like Sam's, I prefer BJ's. They have items that I would buy up in Ma., like good italian sausage and natural casing hot dogs. A few years ago, I read that their sales were down, and were having a hard time competing against Sam's and Costco. They changed their business model and started catering more to non-business customers by selling smaller portioned goods, larger than grocery stores, but smaller than Sam's and Costco. Personally, I put Costco first, BJ's second, and Sam's third. I do find that buying in volume doesn't always equal savings.
