But do you know why I love Bjs? Its because its not Costco. You can go in get you stuff and walk right out. It doesn't feel like a black friday door buster everyday. This BJs is way less crowded than Costcos in Waterbury. To be perfectly honest though I have both Memberships. One thing that this BJs has that Costco doesn't is very cheap propane refills. Overall its really not bad.

Summer helped me and she was incredibly positive and knowledgeable. She helped me choose the right size and recommended the correct shape and shading for my sunglasses. Mind you I walked out with three pairs of glasses for the price of one pair of glasses at the fancy Optical Shops. I will always get my glasses at Costco.

LC Cash & Carry is an amazing hole-in-the-wall Italian import location by the water in New Haven,…read morepositioned along Long Warf within what is called the "food terminal," neighbors with Hummel Brothers (aka the hotdog!) and Lamberti Sausage. After hearing about this location for YEARS, my husband finally made the stop...and I'm so glad he did! The array of authentic Italian imported items was huge, with a mix of sizes ranging from normal to bulk, all ready for purchase. Some of the pasta options were very interesting, as well as assorted balsamic glazes, olive oils, and other seasonings. Fresh bread crumbs, fruit, and deli meats are also available, along with a large selection of different cheeses. They will grate the parmesan there for you, and they even sell rinds for cooking. The staff is also super friendly and very knowledgeable. I'm obsessed with their prosciutto: super thin sliced and oh so tasty! But the show stopper for us...the cans of sauce! They sell so many giant cans that I've never seen! An old friend who shucked clams for the famous Pepe's Pizza years ago had said their go-to sauce was 7/11 brand. When my husband saw LC Cash & Carry had it, he HAD to get it. I cannot impress upon you how TASTY this sauce is...OUT OF THE CAN!!! I was mind blown!!! Growing up in an Italian family, sauce is a big deal...this saice OUT OF THE CAN is tastier than sauce people slave over for hours! I could eat it with a spoon!!! Needless to say, we made the BEST pizza ovan pizzas that night! If I was a betting woman, I'd bet this location supplies all the infamous restaurants in New Haven's Little Italy section, including their pizza locations like Pepes and Modern--but don't quote me on that! Regardless, this is a new shopping staple for our family! Lastly, it's important to note that unlike the name implies, it is NOT cash only!

Stopped by BJ's in Wallingford to pick up groceries and household items using the curbside pickup…read moreoption, and it was a very convenient experience. I love shopping at BJ's because buying in bulk helps my purchases last a couple of months, which is great for staying stocked up. The gas savings and rewards benefits are also a big plus and make the membership worthwhile. Today was extremely busy, but the plaza is shared with IHOP so there is plenty of parking available, including handicap-accessible spaces and parking for parents with babies, which makes visits easier for families. I didn't go inside the store this time since I used curbside pickup. The process was very easy to do online, and as a mom it really simplifies shopping. The staff member who brought out my order was friendly and helpful, and the pickup process was smooth. Overall, this location is convenient and family-friendly, and curbside pickup makes shopping here quick and stress-free. Definitely a place I'll continue to shop at.

I love selecting my items. Then, reality sets in... CHECK OUT. Then this Disney creation turns into the saddest place on Earth. It's sad to see folks so reliant on the items wait in the cue and then pack their cars - only to have to unpack it at their business - and I dread those putting shellfish in the trunk in the heat of August (I hope they're wearing Resto gear, etc) so I can choose another place for clams... I love it. The prices have gone up, there's less and less delta from what a foodservice distributor will cost. But I do enjoy selecting some items (especially produce) myself. Just... I'll always continue to get my proteins and perishables (especially fish) from a delivered refer truck.
