BJ’s Wholesale Club

OMG this place is awesome. I was looking for a matter week ago and they didn’t had it :(but then I went last Friday and the staff help me
W it and they found the one I was looking for and on top of that they gave me a great deal I was a happy customer

Just another club store. They Don’t have organic apples and spinach isn’t always fresh. Plus the lines… But the parking lot is another subject. I don’t know how they have people parking with all those shopping carts left all over. I wanted to do some shopping the other day but after seeing the parking lot I changed my mind. I’m always worried that somebody with scratch my car, not intentionally but with a shopping cart that was left behind. U can actually see one cart touching one of the cars on the pic. This is beyond unacceptable! I don’t know how can they get away with it. Please clean up your mess otherwise people start going somewhere else!

Staff is pretty friendly. Quality is good, we generally come in twice a month, they pretty much have everything we need including some decent clothes. Parking is easy and we fill up the gas on the way back.

I wasn’t really a fan of this store (BJ’s) until I lived with my future wife. I would always say «why do we need 2 of everything? «or «why do we need 8 out of something? «. But I understand that it is best to stock up.
We come here once a month to shop. The store is very big and full with anything and everything a family needs. Now that we have a daughter we definitely need to stock up on the diapers. They have those baby needs in their own area. The store is very organized. The employees there are very helpful. One little thing I don’t like as much is when you go you always spend more than you had expected. Other than that. I love Bjs.

Ok

This location of BJ’s is probably the most shopper friendly wholesale club I have ever been to. It is almost never busy. It has a great selection of items and it has the cheapest gas in NJ and you do not have to be a member to purchase gas.
Try it out you will like it.
Ciao!

**Cheapest gas around if you’re paying with a credit card.**
That’s basically why I come here. Occasionally I have to pick stuff up for my family that has a BJ’s card, and it’s basically like every other wholesale club store around. Massive quantities of random things like moisturizer and plastic cups and popsicles and frozen steaks and stuff.
But you have to have a membership to buy something here, so don’t just drop in for a carton of eggs. I think most people know that, but just in case.

Tucked away off the 1 – 9 in Linden is a BJ’s that you could easily miss if you’re driving by. Thanks to a recent gift membership, I’ve gotten to check out this store again after many years.
This BJ’s is not flashy (but are there any flashy ones really?). You’re there for two things: cost savings and free samples. Let’s be real. This BJ’s is very similar in design to others I’ve been to with a section in the front for electronics near the cashiers, seasonal items right in front of the cashiers and then aisles of housewares focused on the left and more food based items towards the right. The back section is dedicated to prepared foods such as cakes and breads. Scattered throughout are stations for you to sample some of the items being sold nearby, generally around the frozen food area. Behind the cashiers is a small cafeteria style counter with hot dogs, pizza, cookies and other items that are probably terrible for you but taste great (I haven’t tried any of them yet however).
Everything here is sold in bulk. You’re not likely to find a small pack of oatmeal here, no. Instead you get a gigantic container of oatmeal that could last one guy months. It’s a great place to stock up, but I do recommend a few things:
1. Check online for coupons.
2. At the front door there are «in store» coupons that will save you more.
3. Do the math: sometimes their prices per item are only equivalent or actually more than some other stores. If you’re willing to travel to save, it’s worthwhile.
There’s another great part about this branch: a gas station selling exclusively to BJ’s members. Two weeks ago I filled up my tank at a price that beat other gas stations in the area 5 – 10 cents per gallon!
I really enjoy coming to this store and knowing I’m getting good prices. All the produce I’ve picked up is fresh and I’m happy to report they have some healthier options nowadays such as sugar free peanut butter. I know I’ll be using this membership to the max for the next year!

It’s a good place to save some cash.

This was my first wholesale club I’ve ever been to. Oh, such memories. I remember walking in to be greeted by the electronics section right off the bat. I used to go crazy in this section alone and marvel at all the «cool computer stuff». We’d fight to ride in the carts and as we grew older, to push the carts. We used to run around grabbing up as many free food samples as we could and begging our dad to get us extra samples.
Enough with my trip down memory lane.
Though I don’t frequent this particular location anymore (my family still shops here), I know it’s still around and doing well.

We ventured to this location for our second visit to a BJs after getting a two month free trial membership. After the first time, we were thinking about actually signing up and joining, as it seemed that it would work out that we would save money in the long run.
Our visit to the Linden location really soured us on this chain. It began when our 36 pack of toilet paper rang up at 6 bucks more expensive than the price tag on the shelf had indicated. I walked with a manager over to the location of said toilet paper. Above it was a price tag with a big red arrow pointing down to the product in question, all of which were 36-​roll packs. But the manager pointed to how the sign indicated 24-​roll packs in small black type. Apparently, it was «clearly marked» that the price referred to 24 packs, despite the sign being above a pile of 36-​packs with a big red arrow pointing at them. He was stubborn and made me, as the customer, feel like the idiot.
So I grabbed a 24 pack and brought it up to the cashier where my boyfriend was waiting. Someone came over to take the 36 pack off and ring in the 24 pack. It looked like it got rung in twice, and I commented as such, but the employee assured me it had only been rung in once. As we were leaving, the receipt checker at the door (the only helpful person in this place) indicated to us that our toilet paper had been rung in twice. We went back to the guy who had done that, and he indicated that we had to wait for customer service. We did so for 10 or 15 minutes, during which I felt more and more frustrated.
As we were leaving, I mentioned to the manager how we had been thinking of joining but now, after that extremely unsatisfactory experience, would not be doing so. He said that he was «sorry» I felt that way. It really felt like was saying «screw off» with nicer words.
So, either this was a case of intentionally confusing signage, or a complete mistake. Either way, the incorrect signage, the manager’s reaction to it, and our having to wait on line to correct another employee’s mistake were unacceptable.
