BJs Wholesale Club

Although I was initially disappointed with BJ’s, I have come to love the store for its quality products and excellent sales!
When BJ’s first opened, I was disappointed in its size. BJ’s is not as large as your regular Sam’s Club or Costco, so it was a bit of a letdown. However, the quality and price of their merchandise more than makes up for it. For example, they have a large variety of quality frozen appetizers, frozen and fresh deserts, and quality cheeses. The frozen appetizer selection is especially useful for holiday get-​togethers, and Sam’s Club doesn’t even get close to the variety in appetizers. Like Sam’s Club, they also have the signature cheesecake and cookies. Try the chocolate chip cookies, they’re the best!
As for actual departments, other than a pharmacy, BJ’s has every department that Sam’s Club does: office, electronics, seasonal, cleaning, kitchen ware, books and DVD’s, clothing, grocery, health & beauty, deli, rotisserie, bakery, tire, and many other small services. BJ’s also has gas pumps. With a BJ’s membership, you get gas at their pumps for a much lower price than local stations (it’s usually 10 cents cheaper at BJ’s). If you drive long distances, the gas savings may justify the cost of a membership on its own.
BJ’s, unlike the other membership clubs, allows you to use manufacturer coupons. BJ’s also sends out their own store coupons in a little booklet sent monthly in the mail. Some coupons are better than others, but they’re really worth looking through and using. It’s also fun to look for the items that BJ’s simply has marked down on sale. A lot of the marked down merchandise can be found on the end caps, so make sure to look out for those good deals! After each holiday, they also mark down holiday merchandise (Halloween candy, Christmas cookies, etc.) to ridiculously low prices (they had chocolate truffles $ 2 a box last year after Christmas).
BJ’s offers everything that Sam’s Club and Costco do in a slightly smaller package. It’s an excellent addition to the Chambersburg area, and I highly recommend joining if for nothing but the gas savings!

This only gets 2 stars for having a okay variety of humanely raised meats. You can get most of these items at other local stores however, including the giant right next to it and likely the local farmers market as well. Neither of these other places will charge you for the «privilege» of shopping there. There «wholesale» prices are a joke. You can buy the same items, and brands for lower prices per volumn at other stores in town. I went here just to check it out with my husband. Today by mail we recieved a coupon that said it was a day pass to waive the membership fee for a day. After walking around and being extremely underwhelmed with prices we got hungry and our toddler was very upset so we quickly grabbed some basics and headed to the register. We had already checked our coupon with the customer service and though we were good. But the cashier got a very nasty attitude with us and told us we had to have a membership and our coupon was no good! We had to get his manager over to staiten it out. Finally as we were leaving we were stopped a guy at the door to audit our cart to make sure we weren’t stealing (since they don’t give you bags). As were were leaving i noticed we were over charged on several items. One item was a 5 $ difference (toothpaste) it was double the price for non– members apparently! We took the toothpaste back but that was a nightmare too. We will not shop here again!

Great prices. New to the Chambersburg area. So happy to have it because it was a pain to run 30 mins away just to buy in bulk.
