Tip #1 – Make a List and Manage Your Budget
With the most product variety of any wholesale club with more than 7,000 items (competitors typically offer 4,000), it’s easy to buy on impulse. Create your shopping list before visiting the club, and put your list in order for similar items. This way, you cut your shopping time in half and focus on your needs.

Tip #4 – Give Own Brands a Try to Help Roll in the Savings
Whether its fresh produce, diapers, pet food, paper products or linens for your home, a good wholesale club offers high-quality house brand items at savings comparable to brand-name items. BJ’s Own Brands Berkley Jensen and Wellsley Farms are backed by a 100% Money-Back Guarantee so Members are rest assured that they chose well.

Tip#6 – Fresh Meats Cut Your Way
BJ’s all natural beef, pork and poultry is the all USA only, 100% vegetarian fed and are from animals that have never ever been given antibiotics or growth promoting hormones.
Did you know that BJ’s offers whole primal cuts in many varieties at significant savings and the Club’s Butcher will cut them to Members specifications at no additional charge.
Many people may not know that at every BJ’s they can ask the butcher to have a piece of meat recut and repackaged at no charge. This is a real convenience because people can just take their meat home and put it straight into the freezer.
