"We're helping to take some of the stress out of hosting holiday gatherings by offering outstanding value and convenience," said Lee Delaney, executive vice president, chief growth officer, BJ's Wholesale Club. "Our thoughtful selection provides party planners with easy and affordable one-stop-shopping that beats grocery store prices every day."

A recent BJ's Wholesale Club survey conducted online by Harris Poll among more than 900 women 18-65 with children under 18 in the household (referred to as "moms") found that the majority of moms are responsible for hosting and preparing holiday meals. In fact, 98 percent of moms have a holiday dinner and more than half of these moms (56%) say they are solely responsible for preparing the meal.

Sixty-seven percent of moms are stressed about the amount of money they'll spend on food this holiday season; even more moms who have holiday dinner (68 percent) agree it can be difficult to find affordable, healthy meal options for their holiday dinners.

To help alleviate this stress, BJ's offers an easy-to-prepare menu to serve a party of 15 for under $100. With easy to prepare appetizers and ready-made platters at savings supermarkets just can't match, moms can rest assured knowing they're serving quality food at prices they can afford.

Methodology
This survey was conducted online in the U.S. by Harris Poll on behalf of BJs Wholesale Club between November 3 and 9, 2016.

Figures for age, race/ethnicity, education, region, household income, marital status, employment and household size were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population.
