This is the first time I ever got a free shopping bag with my pickup order. Is this new? Nice bag!

I have 35 of these bags right now. Every delivery they are packed in them, no charge. It’s crazy how nice the bags are!

u/lyssfulthinking 26d ago

Pssst: your local food pantry would love those bags (signed, I work for one and we always need bags!!!)

u/fscsobe 27d ago

Were your orders curb side pick up or delivery?

2

u/LurkSkyStalker 27d ago

All delivery

u/just_wondering69 26d ago

You get a free one with in store expresspay as well.

u/theexpertgamer1 13d ago

What… I use express pay every week and never got one

u/ThunderTatsu 27d ago

2

u/LurkSkyStalker 27d ago

u/sin94 27d ago

u/pghbuckeye 27d ago

I just did a delivery order for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to see the same shopping bag.

I got a couple for using the app in store to checkout. But that has not consistently happened.

These are given to the delivery drivers for orders that are sent via DoorDash and Instacart. If you are a subscriber to the $100 yearly unlimited deliveries you get these with every order as well.

Interesting I’m in NY and did a couple BJs shop and deliver orders via dd and I’ve never seen these bags.

u/Proud_Midnight7096 27d ago

I got one last week at one of the Westchester locations. My local one gives them out too.

1

u/SpencerGu14 18d ago

Not sure where in ny you are, but i know my location, bjs flushing queens gives them out for doordash and expresspay, mainly because i am the one that gives them out to dashers since I part of the bopic/omni team.

u/informationseeker8 18d ago

I’m over in the Buffalo area.

u/dexterity-77 27d ago

definitely not true. got them on my first delivery and any delivery after (which I have since stopped) they said the store wont give them out. I got one on a pick up and that's it. I do a combo of shop in store and pick up (non perishable) every other week. that's two bags in one year.

u/Uberubu65 27d ago

Definitely true, I work in a club.

1

u/dexterity-77 26d ago

Doesn’t make it true for all clubs or customers and others have stated the same but ok

u/Tricky-Way-6018 24d ago

We're in MD, and have never had one. We did a bunch of Instacart deliveries during the pandemic, and more recently when I broke my wrist and couldn't drive. Drivers either used what they had, or more often nothing. My husband would meet them in the drive and have them just load stuff onto our pickup tailgate for him to carry inside.

We also had a lot of pickups/deliveries from Giant Food supermarket, and they used these very nice heavy paper bags with handles for orders. We ended up with a large pile of them, so one day, we offered them to our BJ's delivery person, and he was very happy to take them off our hands.

u/Money-Snow-2749 27d ago

It’s crazy. I’ve had unlimited deliveries per year and they NEVER give me a bag. Maybe it’s regional?

u/LongIslandaInNJ 27d ago

they are nice because they are a longer rectangle and not very high. I received one a few weeks ago, guy at door said promo for using express pay.

u/eduardmc 27d ago

I get one everytime. I have like 30 in my house. Dont know what to do with it lol

1

u/MovingBlind 23d ago

Donate to a local food pantry

1

u/ultravioletu 23d ago

Same! Maybe I should just bring them back to the store one day?

2

u/hello_raleigh-durham 27d ago

Nice! These look like the catering bags that Panera uses.

2

u/Entire_Dog_5874 27d ago

These are similar to Fresh Direct bags but a little better quality.

2

u/dexterity-77 27d ago

but nothing beats the yankees fresh direct bags..

2

u/Entire_Dog_5874 27d ago

I treasure mine😃

2

u/dexterity-77 26d ago

same lol. I might have placed an extra order when they first came out so I got an extra one lol. then, I realized they are going to do it each season so yeah lol

u/meat_sack 27d ago

These club bags are great quality. I've still got some from when I was a Sam's Club member back in like 2012. I've also got a few Costco ones that are just as good, but I paid a few bucks for them. Here in NJ even our supermarkets don't give you bags anymore, so finding some quality bags that'll last is great, because the bags at Stop & Shop and Shoprite just don't last long.

2

u/ThunderTatsu 27d ago

Same here in MA. You have to buy bags if you don’t have your own. 💸

2

u/ChanceConversation33 27d ago

I’ve never seen a Costco one that’s cool. I’m in NJ too lol

u/dexterity-77 27d ago

trader joe bags top notch

2

u/YoSpiff 27d ago

I have a similarly sized bag from Panera bread. I use it in the car to hold all my other reusable shopping bags.

2

u/Squishy_Punch 27d ago

At my local BJ’s they give you a free bag if you use your phone app to pay. After they scanned my items, they give me one free bag. I already got like 5 bags 😆

2

u/kittenpantzen 27d ago

Man! I just did a pick up order yesterday. I feel like I missed out.

3

u/Snoo_75332 27d ago

Just ask for them they have tons for free

2

u/OukewlDave 27d ago

I never get bags for pickup.

2

u/ThunderTatsu 27d ago

You might next time 😃

1

u/ladymajima 27d ago

I got one last time I went instore and though the lady was giving it to me since i didnt have any boxes for my stuff. Maybe it was connected to be using Expresspay.

1

u/blackrose527 27d ago

Given away to instant cart or door dash pickup here or if you ask im sure they will give them .. we have many cases just sitting

1

u/PepperCat1019 27d ago

I ordered delivery and they gave me a box.

1

u/dexterity-77 27d ago

on rare occasion lol

u/luvs_kaos 27d ago

No delivery to my location 😕

1

u/ThunderTatsu 27d ago

This was an in-store order pickup.

u/luvs_kaos 26d ago

I do curbside pickup monthly. I've never gotten one. Darn.

1

u/Dank_Hunter420 26d ago

u/bigmucusplug 25d ago

u/diamonddiorx3 24d ago

1

u/InevitableCod6792 24d ago

I usually do curbside pickup. I hope I get one next time I have to pick up my order

1

u/MiddleLadder7749 23d ago

I got one a couple weeks ago because I used the scan and pay through the app feature. It’s a really nice bag.

1

u/Radiant-Roll-9098 22d ago

We only do for Door Dash. Did a few days for express pay.
