Beware of wholesale clubs

.
BJ’s, Costco, Sam’s, and other wholesale clubs may be a boon to bulk shoppers, but they’re not convincing as a bargain source for major appliances.

In the first place, you must pay an annual membership fee of $35 to $45 for an opportunity to shop there. Some of these warehouse giants only allow members to enter the store for browsing and price comparing.

What’s more, availability of major appliances at these stores ranges from spare to fair and varies from one locale to another. And if you can’t haul your purchase home yourself, delivery is extra.

If you are a member, don’t assume warehouse bargains are better than sales at other retailers. Shop around.


All the best,
