buying bulk

Hello fellow shoppers,

Have you ever wondered if it is actually cheaper to shop in bulk at stores like BJS? I think it depends on what you are buying and the size of your family. If you have a family of 5 or more and the kids are over 8 or so I think its worth shopping there for you. If you are having a big party you can save a bit. I found they have pretty good prices on diapers. The prices there don't work out to be so great if you have a smaller family. With the exception of drinks, paper products, and some snacks. I found their meats to be of poor quality. If you really like to shop in these types of stores you can join with a friend. The two of you can split the membership fee. It usually runs around $40.00. After you are done shopping you can split everything. This way no one has to store a large amount of extra food and you both saved some money. Sometimes I get coupons for a free trial at BJS. I try to save these for when the kids birthdays are coming up and use it for that. So if you have a big family try shopping at bulk stores. If you don't it might be better if you just stock up at Shop Rite when they have good sales.
Happy shopping.
