BJ's Wholesale comments?
 

I posted an email about this earlier today, but it has apparently disappeared. I went with a friend to Costco over the weekend and loved it. The only such place closest to me is BJ's Wholesale club, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are as good as Costco or Sam's Club, especially with regard to DVDs. Thanks.

Not bad, but not as good as CostCo or Sam's.

I had a free membership to BJs for one year and never bought a DVD from them. You will not get the same deals as Costco or Sam's on DVDs. At best, they might have a new release for $14.99 or $15.99 which will be the same as BB or CC.

They have good prices on most boxsets usually and a few of the new releases are sometimes down to about 10-11 bucks when they have instant rebates (example Spider Man 2 I got for 11.99 when it came out).

The Costco I visited over the weekend (in NJ) wasn't great as far as new releases were concerned. Fever Pitch, for instance, was $18.79 -- Best Buy had it for $16.99. But others, such as the new edition of To Kill a Mockingbird, had unbelievably low prices. I just wondered how BJ's stacked up since I will have to buy my way in.

Since my first post, however, I discovered there's also a Costco not too much farther than the BJ's. So now I have a decision to make based on feedback, which I appreciate.

my local BJs was awesome back in 2000. They would literally put out new releases 2-3 weeks before street date. Lately I haven't been buying much there at all. They do have good prices on TV sets though.
