I missed that rumor but you are right. 540 is slated to go in right there at that area but Beaver Creek is a bit aways from that spot but it still fits.

Just wish they'd start that thing already!!!

I like BJ's better than "Sams". BJ's issue/take coupons (their own and manufacturer's) and take all types of credit cards. Never had Costco - so can't tell the difference.

To each his own but I personally find BJ's to have much nicer selctions than Costco. Was totally unimpressed by them.

I don't get why anybody pays to shop at BJs, their prices are the same, if not more than what I can get at any regular grocery store, and the quality sucks! I bought a bag of bananas (the smallest they offered) and within a day they were all bruised looking, and when I peeled them were beginning to rot! Plus their deli meat is horrible, if you have the patience to wait in line to get it!

Like any other store, you have to be selective about what you buy there. You can't assume everything is better or cheaper. For stuff like health and beauty, paper products and boxed or canned goods I have found BJs to be way less than even Walmart. I would assume Sams and Costco are similar. I am sure every store has some items cheaper or more expensive than others.

It depends on what you buy. I get many thigns there in larger amounts at significant savings from the grocery store such as detergents, fab softeners, coffee and more.

I've found quite a few things there that are cheaper. And I only buy those things. Yes, some things are more expensive but I pay attention to prices. I used to actually keep a spread sheet with current pricing on everything I buy at various stores. It got to be too much work, though, and I have a pretty good memory for numbers so I stopped doing it.

+1 for BJ's.
Cheap milk, coffee, pretzels, cereal, razor blades, bread, beer, raisins, paper products, dates, bananas, shampoo, soap, body wash, canned soups, and more than a few etceteras, I am sure.

Haven't been to Costco, but maybe some day...

We dropped BJ's for Costco, even though we live closer to a BJ's. Very happy with Costco.
