BJ’s Wholesale Club Opens In Kearny, NJ- Free 90 Day Membership!

bjsdianeThe newest BJ’s Wholesale Club has now opened its doors in Kearny, NJ! If you are not familiar with BJ’s, it’s a membership only club where you can shop for just about anything. We had the chance to check it out and quite honestly it quite amazing. On our guided tour we were privileged to some great info! This particular BJ’s has over seven thousand items, so we were given a great tip: Make a list! That is a perfect tip, especially for me. I’m sure even with a list I would have to do a little bit of impulse buying at this store- there are just so many choices.bjssoccertown

bjsclothesUpon entering BJ’s the first thing in view was the seasonal zone. This area is always in the front and filled with seasonal things. Right now you can find some end of summer items as well as Back to School. I am happy to report that I did not see any holiday items yet! Pretty soon you will be able to find a BJ’s exclusive: The Top Ten Toys only available at BJ’s Wholesale Club. These Top Ten toys will be labeled with a special “Top Ten” tag and will have some extra included that you will be only be able to find at BJ’s. I know where I will be Santa shopping this year!bjsbooks

bjscandyThe electronics department was also very impressive. The TVs, electronics, and cell phones were all up to date and most items came in  value packs that gave something extra for free. BJ’s also has something new called Tech Advisors! Tech Advisors is a free service available by phone only. A tech advisor is available to help you with your electronics needs when you get home and have a question. What a perk! As we walked along we saw so many items from name brand sweaters and clothing, socks and underwear, to books and blu-rays. There were bargains everywhere. The candy aisle was stocked full with big bags bargains like I have never seen before. We will definitely be back for our Halloween candy! bjslemonadebjsdeliOur group was introduced to the BJ’s house brand- Wellsley Farms. One word- Delicious! Wellsley Farms provides foods that really challenge the tastes of national brands. We tasted a few and they were absolutely amazing. Among the products we taste tested were: Wellsley Farms Red Pepper Hummus, Organic lemonade, popcorn and more. We also had a chance to sample the deli meats croissant party platter and two tiered party cake. The food choices were more than many. There were tons of name brands and the prices made my eyes open wide! I was especially impressed with the milk prices being so low. We buy a lot of milk in our house and I was totaling up how much less it would be monthly in savings to buy that one item alone. I can’t imagine how much we are going to save by shopping at the new BJ’s. I was pleased to see that there were also region specific foods. Something I also did not know about BJ’s is that they have a butcher on hand to cut up your meat choices to fit your specific needs. This is a free service. When it comes to lunch our family lives on yogurt. From the looks of things they have a huge variety of brands and flavors. The new Maple Hill Head Creamery Grass fed Greek Organic yogurt is also available. I cannot wait to try it out. bjshallmarkbjscandles

This was not my first trip to a BJ’s Wholesale Club, but it was the first time I visited with my eyes wide open. I really think it worth your time to stop in at the new BJ’s Wholesale Club in Kearny, NJ. You will not be disappointed. Among other things you can find there are Hallmark cards, American Home Candles by Yankee Candle, tons of diapers and baby supplies and just about anything else you can think of and need in your life.

As a final note, the new BJ’s in Kearny will be the first one to house a Dunkin Donuts inside of there store. Most people I know will give that a thumbs up, I know I did! One of my first purchases will definitely be a 54 pack of Dunkin’ Donuts k-cups! BEST NEWS- BJ’s will be hosting a Grand Opening Celebration on September 3rd! There will be face painters, balloon artists, and more. Bring the kids and the family and the friends and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Kubo and the Two Strings is an epic action-adventure set in a fantastical Japan from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA. Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of “Game of Thrones”) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Hashi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), and Kameyo (Academy Award nominee Brenda Vaccaro). But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara), to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family, and fulfill his heroic destiny. Check out everything about Kubo and the Two Strings movie here.

Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom -So Much Summer Fun!

Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom- So Much Summer Fun All In One Place!DorneyParkSummer6Summer time is winding down but there are still a few weeks to enjoy some summer fun at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, Pa. This wonderful theme park has two parks in one! This was a first for our family. We arrived early (well, not too early- you know how long it takes us to get out the door) and headed to the Dorney Park’s Wild Water Kingdom.

Dorney’s Wild Water Kingdom- We opted for the cabana zone. There are two cabana areas- one has full cabanas with complete privacy, the other (the one we had) was a zoned off area with lounge chairs and oversized umbrellas to share everyone in the area. I’m not sure how much the private cabanas were, but the side we were on were $15 per person and well worth it. There were no crowds and plenty of shade. We also opted for a locker. If you are heading to the water park I highly suggest you take a locker. It’s just not worth the worry of leaving your cell phone, wallet, camera, etc for anyone to grab up while you are enjoying yourself. The lockers come in three sizes and you there is a bag check size so you can tell ahead of time which one is right for you. We went with the smallest size which was $20. That was kind of on the high priced side of lockers we have rented at different waterparks but worth it so we could all swim together.

DorneyParkSummer7DorneyParkSummerOur family never realized just how vast in size Wild Water Kingdom was until we experienced it first hand. There are two huge wave pools! We love wave pools and these two, although crowded were really fun. Everyone was respectful in the water and actually really friendly. After the wave pools we headed to the lazy river. There are also two lazy rivers! My daughter and I  are total lazy river fans and these were really superfun! There were plenty of tubes and many squirts along the way. We had a ton of laughs and did end up going around quite a few laps! We did split from the boys because they were into the big water slides( which there were SO many of). Everywhere you looked there was another waterslide. What an incredible place. Emily and Mommy checked out the kids’ zone where there was a yellow submarine and plenty to do.

The Food Plan- A definite must do if you are staying in the park all day. The food plan is amazing. It runs about $35 a person. You can opt to buy it for any or all of the people in your party. By wearing the food band (which is waterproof) you can dine every ninety minutes as various places throughout Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. The same band works in both parks. The food choices range from burgers, cheesesteak, broiled chicken, salads, chicken strips, official Subway sandwiches, BBQ ribs, pizza and more and more. There is definitely something for everyone. The drinks are not included but you can purchase a drink all day mug or a drink all season mug separately.

DorneyParkSummer8

Dorney Park is always amazing. It was a hot hot day when we visited so we did not leave the waterpark until around 5pm. By that time the theme park crowds were reduced and the lines had a much shorter wait time. We were able to walk up and get right onto just about anything. The guys broke off and rode the biggie coasters . Some of their favorites are Hydra, Steel Force and Talon!

DorneyParkSummer1

Emily and Mommy headed over  to Planet Snoopy, a Peanuts themed mini themepark located right inside of Dorney Park!  We took a spin on the Woodstock Whirlybirds, rode on the Camp Bus, Emily bounced her feet off in the Snoopy’s Moon Bounce and more. Planet Snoopy is huge and has so many choices for kids that are not into the bigger thrill rides. You can also meet the Peanuts’ characters after the live show that plays a few times a day. They even have a Snoopy themed kids’ meal!

DorneyParkSummer5

DorneyParksummer3 As the night went on we played some skill games. I absolutely love that there are a few games in the park that are definite “Win” games for the kids. For $5 you walk away with a prize! ( The picture below is a play till you win game- no one leaves without a prize!). Thank you Dorney Park for making all kids smile! We kind of have a little Funnel Cake tradition, too. Before we leave the park the last thing we do is grab a freshly made traditional funnel cake. They are so hot and delicious and your entire family can share one- they are so big! The do come in a box in case you want to take one home or cannot finish yours. You can check out everything about Dorney Park and Wild Water Kingdom right here: https://www.dorneypark.com/

DorneyParkSummer4If you are in the Dorney Park area you definitely should visit with the family. It’s a great place for all ages and fun for everyone. It does help to check out their site before you go so you can have a bit of a plan in place. I always like to know one thing everyone in the family wants to do before we go so we can plan on that as part of our day and everyone leaves in a good mood. This year our choices went like this: Mommy(me)- Water Park! Daddy(Hubby)- Thunder Canyon! Louie-Talon! Adam- Hydra! Emily- Planet Snoopy and Win something! Everyone was able to get what they wanted and we had an awesome time. We cannot wait to visit this fall for one our favorite Dorney Park experiences: Haunt!
