"It can be difficult to decide between the three major warehouse club chains: BJ's Wholesale Club, Costco, and Sam's Club. For many shoppers, the decision is already made based on convenience - whichever store is closest to you is the one you're likely to subscribe to. But if you're lucky enough to have access to all three, you may find yourself spoiled for choice."
"Among BJ's shoppers, this is probably the chain's best-known advantage over Costco or Sam's Club: BJ's Wholesale accepts coupons directly from product manufacturers, in addition to providing its own in-house coupon book. In other words, if you clip a coupon directly out of a magazine or find one online, you can use it at BJ's just like you would any other retail store. Meanwhile, Costco and Sam's Club explicitly don't accept manufacturer's coupons, instead offering their own in-house savings programs."
Choosing between BJ's Wholesale Club, Costco, and Sam's Club often comes down to convenience, but membership value differs by perks and services. BJ's operates far fewer locations, about 280 in the United States, but often stocks more SKUs than Costco and matches Sam's Club in variety. BJ's lacks a food court but offsets that with membership advantages, including acceptance of manufacturer coupons plus an in-house coupon book. BJ's provides certain unique bonuses and better-perceived perks that can alleviate common warehouse-shopping pain points and make membership competitive with larger chains.
