    Friday is supposed to be the grand opening of a BJ's here about 10
    miles up the road from me. I see the basic membership is $55 per
    year.

    Maybe in about 2 weeks once the hysteria has died down I might stop
    in for a browse session.


    They have good prices on most things. If they have a gas station, that
    is cheap too.
    Many of the items are too large for just me so I pass on mayo and
    ketchup but I do get dishwasher pods, some OTC meds, paper products and
    food that can easily be broken down and frozen.

    I did see where I could shop on a one-day pass, but that jacks up the prices by
    20%. Add local 9.25% sales tax and the prices just jumped by almost 30%. Yikes!!!


    Wow, that is a lot. If you can, note prices of things you buy regularly beforehand and just browse the store and look at prices. If you think
    it is a good deal, sign up.

    Varies by state law, but they have wine at decent prices too. Store
    brand items are good quality. 4 pounds of butter is $13.99 here. Land
    O Lakes is 3 pound for $15.79. Lemons about half the price of the
    supermarket.

    Are they offering two for one Tuesdays? The famed Twofer.

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never been in or even seen a BJ's to know anything about this store or than like Costco and Sam's Club it's a membership driven establishment.


    Popeye loved that store, but then again, he often cooked up
    massive amounts of food.
