KJPA, I bought the Costco Breakfast Blend K-Cups (box of 80 in the store) and it is soooo gooood! I can't say the same for the Keurig I bought from there.

I've seen the kale salad blend at Costco, but not bagged kale.

I browsed BJs online and there is one closer. I thought I was going to do the One Day Pass, but there is a 15% surcharge. I'll wait until next month when they come to my job.

How are the BJs generics? Not in comparison to Costco, but on their own.

I have Sams and Costco cards, I like Costco the best for produce, but I have a business card for Sams and can go in before the general public. That's kind of nice.

I think it depends where you live, I'm a BJs member and in my area...costco has a larger selection.

Although we've been BJs members for years, my ILs are Costco shoppers and it *seems* to me that Costco has more gourmet-type items. I have only been there one time, many years ago, but I'd be interested in checking it out again.

We have a Costco and Sam's right next to each other! I like that Sam's is always way less crowded, but Costco has more selection. You always go to Sam's for gas because the lines at Costco are too long!

For us it is BJ's hands down. Their return policy is great, never had a problem, great CS and a lot of name brand products to choose from. I get all my oil of olay products there and using their coupon in their monthly flyer I get 2 for $1 less than what I would pay for just one anywhere else.

BJ's also accepts coupons I cut from the newspaper and can use one of theirs with one I cut out on the same item, very good deal. I like their meats, vegetables and frozen items sections plus get my lawn and garden care items there from spring through fall and my Christmas items there for decorating.

I get my coffee there, laundry products etc and chose all name brand products which I have no problem finding there.

Sam's club is right across the street from BJ's in another strip mall so both are very close and Costco is 20 minutes away so, can do any of them but now only keep a membership at BJ's.

I also get my feral cat food at BJ's, canned box of 48 as well as the dry Purina dry cat chow complete.

all in all, I have saved a lot going there.

TIP: let your membership expire(stock up when it is about finished) than wait a full month and go and ask if they have any special deals on memberships, usually you will get 15 months for the price of 12 plus $10 to spend your first time, good deal.

Costco is closer to me , so I use it now ,especially since their AmEx gives me 5% back and their gas is cheapest. But also my local Wegmans competes with Costco pretty fiercely and therefore I use them mostly. Oh forgot, I like some clothing items in Costco, like shirts got DH work, sport items, sleepers, pj,etc.

Costco. I like and use so many of their items and love the Kirkland brand as well.

Costco gives a 2-year warranty on all electronics and appliances. They also have an extended warranty which is very cheap. Their Kirkland products are the best.
