Well Costco is a store that Rossman is addicted to, and if you can get BJs for wholesale, you're gettin almost as good of a deal as if you have a GF. Then you can get them for free Although maybe buying em in bulk is a way to save some cash! Good idea!

rofl!

Never heard of BJ's wholesale, but maybe it's like Sam's Club? Anyways, the Costco around here usually has stuff for slightly cheaper than Sam's Club, because I think of their rebranding and OEM sales (i.e. Kirkland Signature Branded stuff)

When you have a GF/Wife you only *think* you're getting them for free.....

I don't know of the differences between CostCo and BJ's but here are some good archived OT threads about CostCo vs Sam's Club:

I work down at Sam's Club and the only visible difference I have noticed is that the return policies are different in both places. Usually, the inventory is very similar. I believe that both the stores you mentioned should have the same setup. You should go to both of them and check it out...

If I had to choose, here's the order that I'd pick:

1) Costco
2) Sam's Club
3) BJ's Wholesale

I like Costco because they have better electronics than BJ's. Sam's Club does pretty good when it comes to electronics, also. Costco has some awesome food items. Taking into account the store that I shop (Fairfax, VA), the Costco blows away Sam's Club and BJ's when it comes to food. BJ's seems kind of depressing to me. Not a whole lot of activity there and some of their products look a little "tired." Costco, on the other hand, has so many people shopping there that the items turn over pretty quick. And finally, for the main reason that I like Costco: they have a 42" Daewoo plasma TV for $2,999 - drool on, baby!

I'm curious how are the return policies different (from what you know)?

Sam's Club has this 15 day return policy on electronics. Costco, from what I have heard, is has an almost unlimited time limit on their return policy. I think you get the standard 90 days on other items though. Then the manufactor's warranty comes into effect. After that, well at least at Sam's, you can buy additional insurance...If you have any more questions, just give me a holler.

yeah, some dormmates bought a big screen from Costco and plan to return it in June when the school year ends. Personally I wouldn't go be interested in return policy because I want to buy and return it, but that goes to show how Costco's return policy is.
