BJ’s Wholesale

Moving out to the middle of nowhere in Lake County was scary. Where was the nearest Costco? 30 miles away! So sad.
Then I saw BJ’s. A LivingSocial deal drew me in and now I’ll never leave.
While not as much store brand stuff as Costco (they DO have Berkley & Jensen products and _​_​_​_​_​_​Farms food which are their brand), they have everything that Costco has … and dare I say more food choices & products.
Really, the place is JUST as big as other box stores. They are definitely more skewed towards grocery items (YAY) than clothes and furntiture, but that’s why I go to these places, so that’s perfect for me!

I was here for the first time today to receive a free 90-​day membership pass. In doing so, they offered me a great deal instead of the free membership. I decided to go with the special membership offering since I believe I will return a lot. The place is huge with a lot of items to decide from. Electronics to grocery items.
I thought prices were reasonable here for the bulk stuff. I see a lot of things I can use for parties and what not. The deal comes with a lot of coupons as well, so that is very helpful. Also, the business offers 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. You can receive a full refund anytime during your membership if you are not satisfied.
From my visit today, I was completety satisfied with this business. Clean interior/​exterior, friendly staff members, well organized business, and offers a wide range of products. Do bring your own bags because they do not offer bags. They do have free boxes to box your items though. I give it 4 Stars because I want to wait a short a while to see how this business goes before I give it 5 Stars. So far so good.

It’s a BJ’s, regular stuff. Very clean great staff. The longest wait is at the deli counter but since Publix no longer sells deli Land o Lake cheese I wait in line.

Not as good as Costco but better than Sam’s Club. The prices are a little more expensive than Costco but it is way more convenient for Clermont residents to drive here rather than Altamonte Springs and less crowded. The selection is hit or miss but you can find all the staple bulk items; toilet paper, paper towels, frozen veggies, meat, catering supplies. I also enjoy that they have a decent selection of organic products to choose from but they still have a ways to go to compete with Costco on that front. Will I be signing up again next year for a membership? Not my first choice, but in the words of Michael Corleone: «Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in!»
