Saw same in Costco for 199$.. which is like 20$ off than Costco....
city I live have both BJ's & Costco both which one is good currently a Costco card holder thinking to cancel and take bj any suggestions or comparisons I appreciate your feedback
I'm a member of both. My impressions:
- Costco generally higher quality all around, also better selection of goods in general. For example, BJ's doesn't seem to really sell take and bake meals (we like those as a family). BJ's also doesn't sell much int he way of appliances in store.
- Gas is about the same more or less.
- BJ's accepts coupons, also also runs its own coupon scheme where offers overlap all the time. It's not uncommon to find TP, diapers, paper towels, vitamins, etc with multiple coupons on them.
- BJ's has overall better rebates, coupling membership and CC top out at 5%. Costco max is 4%.
- BJ's has curbside and online ordering. You can also see in-club pricing in the app. Despite being literally 14 times the company (revenue), Costco has NONE of these.
- I run vending for a nonprofit, and Costco doesn't really sell items for vending like BJ's does.
- Costco has locations all over, BJ's is basically the Eastern seaboard. That said, there are many more BJ's locations near me than Costco.
So why do I have both? Costco has basically taken over in terms of general shopping - can't remember the last time I went to a grocery store (we are a family of 6), but BJ's does sell some stuff Costco doesn't. BJ's is more convenient for me, I literally drive by one on the way to work so that's better for gas.
The Walmart/Sams and Target/Costco comparisons are solid but I have never visited a BJ's location. They're actually adding new locations around where I live, which is a super-fast growing area. Come to think of it, Sam's may be the one that more closely resembles Kmart? Their app is great and scan & go is amazing (Costco can't compete) but not sure those features can outweigh the fact that the public perception of Sam's stores is generally negative. Their main demographic seems to be moving into retirement, followed by the generation right after it, so I guess that could keep things going for another 10-15 years? I don't like saying that because Sam's holds a warm place in my heart…but their version of innovating isn't reaching younger generations. The more expensive Plus membership with less features isn't helping either.
Maybe I'm just part of that older generation ('X' here), but I really don't understand Costco. Yes, higher end product, but also higher price. (I have both memberships sams and Costco). I find Costco's utter lack of technology massively frustrating. I find it hard to believe that younger generations don't also feel that? Do the millennials, Y's, etc really want to wait in line to checkout? Do they really want someone checking their entire cart and needing to tick off their paper receipt? Do they also not want to shop before 10 am?
Not questioning the thought, just truly wondering. I see Costco having way more customers here almost always (I haven't found a time when it's not packed--and I've tried around here).
I also find Sam's Plus membership way better than the Costco "executive" in terms of upgrade. I get to go early before it's crazy busy, I get the same sort of "cash-back", and I get free shipping at sams. Costco it seems like I only get the cash back...
Nice to see someone else that feels the pain. It's like a spell that reduces stamina 1/3 and then your lady starts complaining. Also can't use the spring back from a regular mattress.

Seriously. Costco is basically our grocery store but I also have a membership at BJs. BJ's has about 1/14th the revenue of Costco, yet has curbside pickup, express pay (Sam's has something similar, scan and go or something), and you can look up in club prices on their app or online. Costco has absolutely NONE of that. It has to be some sort of gimmick, meaning they aren't incompetent, they are doing it for a reason. As dumb as I think it sounds, it may be an effort to get people in club to wind up making purchases other than intended. I know one thing they do in order to further that effort is to constantly move things around - done to get you to wander through the store and buy more stuff.

That's actually a great point that Costco would rather people be physically inside the store and that's why online/app stuff appears to be low-priority for them. As a big Costco shopper (also a member of Sam's) the thing that wins over the younger demographic is a lot of organic & clean-ingredient food for sale. If you have a growing family and want to try & feed them well, Costco is laser-focused on you. I would say that's their lesser-known superpower.
Sam's club ships to me for free in 2 days so they win but I agree sams and bjs hay way better food varieties and are cheaper the Costco
Bjs for me vegan options

I'm doing something similar with my family. The location is the reason for the BJs membership. Costco is in a really busy location and more of a hassle to get in and out on the weekends.
The selection was the main reason for us initially trying BJ's. They had way more baby options than Costco. They also have more snack and other food options. The worst thing about BJ's is their coupons. You have to load them manually...whenever they come out. The alternative is cutting them out. This limits you to using the coupon once or twice during a release cycle which Costco doesn't have for multiple trips.
I'll still probably never give up my Costco membership because of the quality of food, prices and easy coupons but BJ's is a solid alternative if you just need a few things that Costco doesn't carry.
It's really hard to find reviews for this mattress. Every review that comes up is for Costco Novaform. Any recommendations or self reviews?
I just bought this a few days ago. When I sit on the bed, it compresses from 12" to 5" and I weigh 145 lbs . I like softer mattresses but this is ridiculous. I currently have Zinus Cloud which I love. I can not return to BJs unless it is unopened, I should have read that first. I read the BJs reviews and assumed it would be great , it is not. Looks cheap..feels cheap. pay the extra few bucks and get ZInus or something else.

I just sat in my car to go grab the one my store has, checked this thread one last time, and decided not to but based on this comment.
California has a law that says retailers who sell delivered mattresses must also offer a pickup service of the old mattress.
I believe it was meant to reduce the amount of mattress dumping.

BJs doesn't want to do that.
