There are certain things I like about BJ's. Their curbside pickup is convenient and fast. I…read moreplaced an online order for a larger item and then went to the curbside parking area a few hours later. An employee brought my item out immediately and put it in my vehicle. Super fast! I also appreciate the gas prices, always the lowest in the area. If you pay with a BJ's credit card you receive an additional ten cents off per gallon. And there are never long lines at the pumps like the ones at Costco. BJ's is very close to my home. I'll keep my memberships as it is worth it for the gas prices and the occasional other items I purchase, but overall I like Costco much better.

Don't get me wrong, I love Costco, but BJ's Wholelsale Club is ultimately more convenient to where…read moreI live and easier to shop, in my opinion. I took advantage of the $15/year membership coupon I received in the mail. Like other wholesale stores, BJ's has great prices on bulk items, and the membership has already paid for itself just in the discounts on vitamins, medicines, and other hygiene/wellness products. They have a solid section of seasonal items and clothing, too. Gas prices are great, as well. I like their app and typically save items to a list before going in-store. You do NOT need to show a membership card to enter the store, but you do need one in order to checkout. Which, speaking of--I always use the self-checkout and have never waited in line. Costco definitely has them beat in the food court section, but shopping at BJ's has never been a hassle for me.

Lakeshore has saved me many times when looking for a good educational gift for a child. You can…read morepretty much find anything and everything that Melissa & Doug has (have?) ever made here. They also sell kinetic sand, Magna-Tiles, magic water marbles, building blocks, floor puzzles, board games, educational DVDs and CDs ... I could go on, but then this review would just be a list of every cool plaything that's out there. But they don't just sell toys here. This place is also a school supply store and place for teachers to buy items for their classrooms, including banners, posters and things for classroom organization. There's also a space in the back of the store just for laminating. The prices are comparable to other brick-and-mortar stores, and you might be able to find some of their products cheaper online, however, I can't think of a place in the area that has this much selection, where you can actually see the toys and products and -- in many cases -- play with them. Which brings me to another reason why I love Lakeshore: They have stations throughout the store set up with different toys and games for the kids to play with. It's so fun! (Well, it's fun for kids; it's not so fun for the adults who have to pry the kids away from the store.) On Saturdays and Sundays, they offer drop-in art workshops for kids for free. Each weekend, kids make a different fun craft.

Ollie's has been reading my mind as of late. I go in thinking about how I don't need to buy…read moreanything, but then there it is...just thing I've been "needing." Some of my recent fun finds include crochet kits, a planner/organizer that helps with decluttering, and some of my favorite and somewhat expensive chocolates. If you pair the already deeply discounted offerings with saving earned through the rewards program (Ollie's Army), you cannot go wrong! We returned within a few days to gather grass seed, bird seeds and an expandable hose. We always receive great service whether we're strolling in 5 minutes before closing (it happened recently) or in the middle of the day.

I visited Hey Little Diddle to find a gift for my new niece, who has a fancy name, so this store…read moreseemed like an appropriate place to begin to look for a gift for her. This store is a little fancy, but not overly so. It's very carefully curated, and the color palate is beige-taupe-oatmeal-neutral toned. It's like if Restoration Hardware created a baby store. If you're looking for neutral baby clothes, Hey Little Diddle is your place. The prices are a little too rich for my blood, as I prefer outfitting babies and toddlers in hand-me-downs that they can throw up on, fall down in, get muddy and messy, and also don't cost $125. The clothing here is adorable, though, and you won't find outfits like these anywhere else in the area. I wasn't looking for baby clothes, but more like toys or trinkets. They do have a few, but not a huge selection. I would visit this store for clothing mostly.

When I was little, I used to just camp out and read books for hours. My wish is that bookstores never go out of business, so I try to support it when I can. They not only have a ton of books and music, but also great games, stationary, and home decorations. The women at the checkout desk are the absolute sweetest and one actually thanked me when I continued my family's loyalty card. With the card comes awesome coupons. There's just something about having a real, non-digital book in your hands.
