ILP I only know about costco (noh tink dem have BJ's up yah)

Personally I think the benefit is for people who have a large family as they mainly cater to people who buy in bulk. Oh also the ones here in Cda their vision care and prescription ting are cheaper than Walmart.

I like Costco and I go about every 6 weeks or so not just for bulk items but also for really good prices on hummus, gourmet cheeses (marinated mozzarella balls), frozen wild-caught red salmon filets, campari tomatoes, baby cucumbers, olive oil, raw sugar, vitamins, supplements ... just to name a few things I like

My sister in Massachusetts loves BJs. They have bulk items packaged in smaller quantities than Costco. Where is the nearest BJ to Washington, DC?

I don't go there that often. Don't have a large family, so I don't buy food in bulk.

But I do purchase cleaning materials, paper goods (toilet, paper towel, etc), feminine products, personal care items (lotion, toothpaste, etc), and detergent from BJ's. The savings are well worth it for me. And me clip coupons, so it really works out good.

We did talk bout dem hereso

Mi drive by 2 BJ's once a week or so (near Bowie/Crofton and then one near Waldorf)

Mi work round the corner from Costco, though

ILP the kirkland baby wipes that costco sells have been recommended by a few people I know at a much better price than comparable brand names. You may find your self doing a bit more bulk buying when the baby is here (plus you will be having visitors)
