If you haven't been to your local BJ's Club or any store today March 12, you are in for a surprise. I went out early this morning to Target, and BJ's along with our local grocery store Tops. It was like shopping on a black Friday, but worse.
At our local BJs the only thing for toilet paper was Charmin. In our Facebook group many have said there isn't any toilet paper left.
It's not available online either. You can keep checking here to see when it is in stock. BJ's has released a press release today about the Coronavirus and BJ's stores.
See below.
*If you need a BJs membership you can score one here for $25 for the year. And order items online. Or if you want to Try Costco this is the only membership deal I know of online here.
Dear Members,
I wanted to share with you steps we are taking to keep you safe and meet your families’ needs during the rapidly evolving coronavirus situation. The safety of our members, team members and our community is always our top priority.
We are following recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local authorities in taking extra safety measures in all our locations. We have implemented enhanced cleaning procedures on top of our already high standards. We are cleaning high-traffic surfaces like shopping cart handles, bathrooms, checkout lanes and touchscreens with greater frequency, and have provided additional sanitization supplies in all clubs for member and team member use. Out of an abundance of caution, we also are temporarily stopping food sampling in our clubs.
We have provided new health protocols and information for our team members. We’re reminding sick team members to stay home and have asked teams to restrict travel to only business-critical needs. We continue to share regular updates with our team members, so they know the latest information to keep themselves and you safe.
We know many of you are shopping more in our clubs to buy essential items. Our teams are increasing shipments into the clubs and working hard to keep high-demand products like cleaning supplies, food and medicine in stock. To date, our clubs have had relatively limited instances of products being out of stock. However, despite our best efforts, there have been and will continue to be isolated situations where we are temporarily out of stock on an item. We ask for your patience as demand for some items currently exceeds our suppliers’ capacity to produce them. We may also limit the number of items per trip on select products to allow more members to purchase what they need.
We are ensuring we can support your increased demand for digital services on BJs.com and on the BJ’s Mobile App, so you can shop however, whenever you want. These include:
• Same-Day Delivery
• Buy Online Pick Up in-Club
Our core mission is providing outstanding value and service to you. We will continue to work hard to deliver on this commitment in the days ahead.
Thank you for being a loyal member,
Lee Delaney
President and CEO

BJs Coupon Book for March Matchups
Ive also had bad time shopping been a member for a long time but this is the last year. People join now for 25 we paid our 50 not happy with them at all.
Hope they get more tp
For a wholesale club, you would think they have the essentials. The only thing offered are empty shelves and things that are not needed in an emergency situation. It is ridiculous to say keep checking for availability. By the time one see it, it has been sold out. So much good that does….
Our local BJ’s is gouging people with $30 package of paper towels! Fuck you BJ’s, people will remember this.
Oh boy that is not good.
In Garner NC, I went earlier this week and wanted to buy the B j’s brand toilet tissue just because we were out and it was time to restock. had a $3 coupon and of course I couldn’t use that because they didn’t have any at all they had some Charmin and some sScott. But it costs a lot more but I still bit the bullet and bought the charmin. They were a lot busier than usual but overall not too bad. This was however before the latest national and local State of emergencies announcements
I shop BJ’s online and have found them to be the worst of all online stores I’ve used. Two day shipped Stocked items sometimes takes over a week to get. Calling customer service can take days to get through. My last order was missing items I was charged for and after 2 days of trying to call customer service I’m irate! Shop Costco or Sam’s never had an issue with them.
I agree I haven’t had the best experiences with BJs online system either.
I was in my BJs this afternoon (Fort Myers Fl) and it was worse than preparations for hurricanes. Lines were 7-8 people deep with full carts. The lines that were for 15 items or less had about 12-15 people waiting but those lines were moving quicker. I was there to get basic stuff I buy weekly (or should I say normally).
Wow!
In a Northern Virginia Costco there were over 200 people in 3 lines waiting to check out 30 minutes after the store opened.
