    We don't have a BJ's here, but we do have a Sam's Club and I buy lunch meat there, and it looks like meats are cheaper. I generally buy my chicken on sale at the grocery or a local meat market for anywhere from $1.69-1.99 a lb for the breast or 65-80 cents for a whole chicken. Non-sale weeks when you need it, I think it's great. Just buy some freezer bags and freeze what you can't immediately use.

    We have Costco here and it is NOT a better deal. The cuts of meat are better than most grocery stores, but the prices reflect that. When you compare prices by the ounce, pound or item, Costco is nearly always more. We'll go there to stock up on some pantry staples, but I can do MUCH better shopping at my local grocery stores on sales and coupons.

    costco's good for non perishable items like toilet paper, paper towels, some groceries. But I get most perishable items at a local grocery store or farmer's market.

    Ditto. I'm only shopping for one person living alone, so anything that can go to waste I wouldn't be able to buy at (in my case) Costco
