Having a family full of men — husband, preteen son, and identical toddler twin boys –the need and desire for food and electronics is very important in my household. Having men in a home can make a kitchen pantry empty within hours and can create an electrical shortage with all their gadgets plugged into an outlet. Finding one place to save on food, household items, and electronics is difficult and that is why we are big fans of BJ’s Wholesale Club.
• BJ’s is extremely efficient in shipping and handling goods, and they do not have expensive displays, fancy buildings, or high advertising costs.
• BJ’s annual membership fee also helps them maintain every day, low wholesale prices. By charging a membership fee, BJ’s is able to eliminate factoring operating costs into their prices.
• With such a large committed base of loyal Members, BJ’s merchandising team is able to negotiate with their vendors to bring Members the greatest, consistent values.
Get Thanksgiving help from BJ’s large assortment of fresh prepared foods can help you achieve that homemade taste, without sacrificing quality or time. Head down BJ’s Fresh Prepared Aisle to select comfort foods and new, unique side dishes.

Impress family and friends with Rozzano® Mushroom Risotto (3/12 oz. bags for $9.99). Broccoli Soufflé from Classic Cooking™ (30 oz. pack for $6.99).
