That's great news. Like BJs better than Costco or Sams.

BJ's gives away free 3-month memberships all the time. Costco doesn't need to. Should tell you something. Doesn't come close to Costco IMO.

I would pick BJ’s over Costco everyday. Never could figure out why people like Costco so much.

Before moving here in 2011, in the Baltimore suburbs I had a BJ's one mile away, a Costco eight miles away and a Sams Club ten miles away. After browsing through each store, I really didn't see a whole lot of difference. So of course I joined the one a mile away, BJ's.

I belong to Sams here, but only go maybe once a month at most. That's just for one item, a pound of lump crab meat for $20, nobody else here stocks it and my wife can make Maryland Crab Cakes that are delicious. One pound can make about 8 crab cakes. That's it, I don't buy anything else because I can never use that much of any one item.

BJ’s seems to have about an 80% overlap with Sam’s Club, and I found that everything I wanted I was getting from Sam’s. I would join Costco if it were here, as it has a high reputation, but not BJs.

BJs has military and veterans membership discount pricing on memberships. 25% off plus a coupon the first time. (Membership renews at discounted rate.)

You have to verify your military history with "id.me", and once that's done, you're good to go.

Get over 25% off your BJ’s Wholesale Club Membership PLUS a $10 coupon - ID.me

I go to Sam's once a month any buy almost everything I need for a month. Paper products, canned and jared foods, frozen foods etc. I freeze about a month's worth of meats.

I don't understand people that say that they can't use enough of things.

I never been a fan of paying for a membership so I feel obligated to spend my money in their store.
