BJ’s Wholesale Club

The whole point of me coming to this location was because I happened to be in the neighborhood and what better place for me to fill up on gas before headed back home. I’m thinking, plus Bj’s is running the 10 cent off for gas provided you shop first. Sounds clutch right? Uh… nope. not here anyway.
Showed up 15 mins prior to closing just to run in grab paper towels and make a mad dash for the gas. Why are there 20 people in line with 30 items each and only two lines open? To add insult to injury… the gas stop doesn’t care if you’re held up in line making use of the necessary requirement for the 10 cent off gas deal.
Forget about the fact that the cashier mentions they get complaints all the time about the lines being slow and people missing out on gas. C’Mon BJ’s you gotta do better.

After you’ve dealt with Costco, BJ’s isn’t going to cut it. My first turn off was the upper portion of the entrance sliding door being boarded up. I don’t know what happened to the glass, but it just wasn’t a good impression for me.
Also, I felt like the selection wasn’t as diverse as it should have been. In the frozen foods section, it was empty and signs were up asking customers to excuse their construction as they improve the store. Okay. Still didn’t like it.
A big problem for me is not having Yoshida teriyaki sauce. A bigger problem is the fact that everyone knows that at Costco and Sam’s you can get a foot long hotdog and a drink for $ 1.50 and THEY DON’T HAVE THAT! In fact, they don’t have the sizable dining area that the others have and the hot food selection neither. Boooooooooooo!
Do you see why I can’t bulk shop here?
I can’t with BJ’s right now. However, I like to revisit places because maybe the store was just having a bad month. Hopefully, I can bump that rating up when I revisit in 2016.

When the gas station is busy & there is a line for air… I always go to the tire place to get them to refill my tires so, my tire pressure light will go off. Unilocal,Unilocal

If only there was a Costco or Sam’s Club in the area. I would prefer those. The Warehouse is tucked away in the Camp Creek Market Place. Merchandises such as big screen TVs, grills, appliances, chairs, groceries — this may be a good go to spot in the area for the price when you think of long term benefits. On a Saturday, it isn’t overcrowded like the other wholesale stores. But boy oh boy, the check out is SUPER SLOW! Membership fee is cheaper than the rest: $ 35 for 12/​mo isn’t bad at all. The prices are pretty good in terms of buying in Bulk. The customer service was average in which equates to the average rating.
Grade: C

I like that you can find a variety of items here. TVs, groceries, books and clothes and its spaced out enough to enjoy. Best for bulk!

I love shopping here for big parties & a great benefit is that their gas is normally cheaper

They take my coupons unlike Sam’s club
Bulk store, some items are cheaper than Sam’s. Sometimes their carts are all over the place tho.

No problems with this place.
I’m really not a «wholesale» shopper. Don’t have a family, just my daughter and I. However, on holidays and toddler birthday parties, cookouts and such this place comes in handy!!!
It’s 3 of us on this plan, so at $ 15 a pop/​year, it’s a great deal!
I love coming here and getting gas, always the cheapest! (other than Kroger fuel)
I always get my glade and airwick plugs in (awesome deals), Izzy’s pampers and wipes, etc.
They always have awesome coupons and just a hint, you can use up to 3 coupons on each item. You can use a manufactor coupon, a BJ’s printed coupon (from the book) and a BJs internet coupon all on one item! freaking awesome!!!
The customer service line is always slloooowwww, but the service itself is always friendly.
FYI– BJs does not offer samples, like Costco and Sams, which freaking sucks :-(but…i love that they offer the name brands that I purchase on a regular basis… unlike Sams and Costco.
All in all… great place. Amazing coupons. Good gas prices :-)

Always with the cheapest gas. How can you go wrong with that.
I like this location, because they normally have someone cookin something that you can sample. Its clean and well laid out. I can always find things very easily.
Some of the best pricing on crab meat I’ve seen in the city. Also… I love the fact that I can buy 2 large bags of chips for one low price.

Great coupons, which if you sign up for the membership, they will send you in the mail also. Takes food stamps (EBT cards) and accepts coupons. Now u cant say that bout Sams Club!

This B.J.s location was cleaner then the Austell location. Even though both locations sell the same brands both had different flavors of almost all the food items I usually buy. Their desserts looked good and so did the bread but I did not buy any bakery or deli items. It’s also great to stock up on non food items like soap, tissues, or paper towels. The membership has been lowered to $ 30 for 14 months. Both locations don’t seem to be as busy compared to Costco’s. Right now BJ’s is offering a free 60 day membership so it’s great to try it out.

This place is huge! I mean, when I walk in here I imagine that this is what it must feel like to be an ant inside of someones house. Who knew that there were so many «things» available for sale. Crazy!
Anyway, this is a place where you must go if you’re ballin’ on a budget!
My first trip was to purchase food for a cookout. We bought a 1000 pack of napkins and a bottle of BBQ sauce that could feed the whole US Army. We also bought a radio that was nearly $ 70 cheaper than at Bestbuy and an iPod.
This is one of those stores, that you need to keep in your back pocket. When money gets tight or you have to entertain, this is the store to shop at.

Trying to get my finances under control, I took Dave Ramsey’s (the popular personal finance guru on TV and radio and author of several books) advice and started shopping at a wholesale discount store. Since BJ’s is located very conveniently to where I live, I decided to try shopping there to see how much money I could save. Well, first you do have to pay a membership fee (around $ 40 now, I think, for the basic membership). You’ll end up finding so much stuff you need that you will probably walk out with at least one buggy full. One bit of advice is that you will need plenty of room in your freezer and refrigerator because you will only find bulk size items at BJ’s. It is really great for me because I don’t want to have to go back to the store every month or so for things like shampoo, kitchen supplies, and frozen foods. You also end up saving by buying in bulk. One thing that is disappointing at times is finding a favorite item that then runs out and is not sold there anymore. And the only items they will have will be the ones they’ve been able to get a deal on themselves so it isn’t like Wal-​mart or other retailers where you’ll find name brand or the same items time after time. Good news is, I save a lot of money (when I don’t impulse buy) and have plenty of the items that you always need around the house.
