I'll take it! In bulk that is... #7

I have visited it with another member to purchase glasses, contacts and even tires (which I highly DO NOT recommend doing!). But I never went there as a member myself and learned how to work the world of wholesale store buying.
So today instead of going to my local Wegmans for our groceries I finally used our BJ's wholesale membership and got our groceries there instead. What started out as an aggravating and overwhelming situation where I just wanted to walk away from my cart ended up being a very positive situation. Our cart was full and as usual I didn't calculate the EXACT amount I was purchasing as I just don't do that. Well.. have a little faith in Miss J as I was able to go UNDER the budget and still obtain the same amount of, if not more, groceries. From 40lb cat litter to fist sized oranges. I suppose the real new thing was not that I went to BJs and purchased.. but that I didn't realize they didn't provide any boxes or bags to tote your items (yes, I have totes at home for this purpose, but didn't know I needed them). So it was an interesting, yet surprisingly organized, loading my suv with the said items. Cold stuff on the floor, boxes in the trunk.
