Costco Vs. BJ's Wholesale....which do you prefer? With Pollll

[Matt915]

So I've decided since I buy so much food (tons of tuna, steak, etc.) from a supermarket that it would make more sense to buy it in bulk. I'm thinking of joining either Costco or BJ's, both of which have locations near me. There is no Sam's club within 40 miles. I'm trying to decide which to go with and was wondering if anyone had input into either of them.

update: I checked both out, and there was a wider selection at Costco for my gf (she's vegan). The prices were virtually identical on most items. To get to Costco though I have to drive through 35 minutes of stop & go traffic across the city, while with BJ's it's about a 10 minute trip and almost no stopping. On account of that I think I'm going with BJ's

I bought my PS3 @ BJ's, that's about it. Got one of em trial cards in the mail and was the only store in tampa that had em that week. 3 hour drive too.

I've never seen a BJ's so I can only vote Costco. Don't even think they have them here in the west.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I like BJs.

Wait, that's the name of a store?

Threads about Costco vs Sam's Club vs BJs is now a quarterly tradition.

See if you can get a trial into both.

I've only ever used BJ's, but lately I've been less and less impressed with the quality of the meat.

Costco is too far away, BJs is closer plus it's only 25 a year. Costco's ribs have the membrane already peeled, whereas bj's you gotta peel it. Not a big deal, but something. I like BJs ribeyes also.

You can't beat the meat at Costco. :sneaky:

And this...

 

[bunnyfubbles]

do you have to pay a fee for the BJs like Costco? if not the choice is obvious...

 

[Pardus]

Costco and BJ's are too far from me, Sam's is the only choice.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Costco, no contest.

Costco has better quality products, better employees, and is a better company.

 

[HAL9000]

Yay! I don't know what either are, but I got to vote in the poll anyway. Best poll yet.

 

[stargazr]

Sam's Club.

 

[Aharami]

I've never been to a BJ's, but I'm very happy with my Costco membership

 

[BarkingGhostar]

There isn't a BJ's near me so the poll is an auto-win for Costco.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Sam's Club.

Sam's club is the worst of the three, by far. They have wal-mart quality products at slightly lower than wal-mart pricing.


Costco has the best quality stuff, pricing is excellent for the quality you get.


BJ's is basically a mix of the two.





Costco has the best deli/meat/grocery stuff by far. Costco is the only place you don't have to read reviews before buying something. Costco has the best optical department.

Cotco >> BJs > Sam's Club

 

[AMDZen]

What is this BJ you speak of?

 

[amdhunter]

Bought a lot of TV's from Costco, but only because I am really anal about dead pixels. Costco is the best with returning stuff.

prime steaks, almost all the freaking time. what more could u ask for?

we might be getting half of our wedding supplies (flowers, etc) from costco

 

[dank69]

Sam's

Checkout lines at BJ's are retarded long.

 

[96Firebird]

I get free BJs membership through my college, so I voted for that...

 

[SunnyD]

The only reason you should be voting for BJ's is if there's no costco in your town.
