I recommend going to a CostCo or BJs, noting the prices of the items you use most often (and whether they even have what you want) and comparing for yourself.
We were BJs members for years. The convenience was worth it even though the prices on some items (especially produce) wasn't actually a savings. We let it expire awhile ago, because (1) we got our SodaStream so no longer needed bulk soda, (2) it's important to us to buy recycled paper products, which BJs doesn't carry at all, so we couldn't use them for non-perishables like paper towels and toilet paper, (3) we were put off by the tales of poor employee treatment. Lately we used it almost exclusively to buy party food and supplies twice a year, so we quietly let the membership lapse.
We have been meaning to check out CostCo and see if they carry the items, such as recycled paper products, that we would like to buy in bulk.
