BJ's Club ~ Other: Do you shop at BJ's and if so how many times do you go

[~Tricia~]

We go to BJ's about twice a month to buy diapers (I use coupons and with their prices plus coupons I can't get Huggies and Pampers Easy ups cheaper per diaper elsewhere), milk, canned veggies and laundry soap.... We also get our gas there b/c it's normally the cheapest...

My dh gets his gasoline there. Milk is a good deal too, what with the 2 year old drinking it all up, not to mention all the good cereal deals lately(I need all that milk to get rid of the cereal!!)

I pretty much only go for gas and to have film developed. Occasionally I'll go in to browse and see what they have, but for the most part I've been able to get things cheaper elsewhere.

[QponClippinQueen]

I go mostly for the gas and some other staple items I feel are cheaper like last year my DS's b-day cake was a half sheet Disney car cake in chocolate and cost me only $23 and change the local bakery wanted to charge me $74 plus additional to make it chocolate. So yeah that pretty much covered my fee that year!

We don't have a gas station here I wish we did, the local civic center shot it down. Too much car congestion at the intersection. I know that is a good thing but it would have been great for competitive pricing.

Our BJS is older so no prepared food like the chicken etc.

I love using BJS for diapers...I always stack coupons

But I too have seen less and less coupons in the store for products.

I get bottled water, meat sometimes, bisquick, syrup, the store brand fruit cups, canned chicken and turkey.


I have found my store to be very good at accepting coupons and internet coupons in multiples for multi packs and stacked with store coupons.

I just used a bjs coupon and manuf coupon to get a pur waterfilter saved 15 dollars!!

I go about once a month..sometimes twice... I was just there this morning picking up cat food and litter and some cards.. My niece is also a member but she goes about once every two weeks (she has a baby and thats where she buys the formula and diapers)

I go once a month. I work full time and have a two year old. During the school year my job gets crazy. I love BJ's because I stock up on my sons favorite foods and can grab quickly to set him up for the day. The items I purchase regularly include:

*Cereal Bars (Nutragrain or Quaker - sometimes they have a coupon but the base price is the same)
*Easy Mac in packets (vs bowls) - My sons favorite food. He always asks for his cheese
*Chicken Nuggets - In the shape of dinosaurs
*Dole Fruit Cups
*Motts Applesauce (although I did stock up on a good sale on another brand a while ago)
*Quaker Oatmeal - the individual packets
*Chicken breasts in a can

When I start running low on diapers from deals I will, buy them there stacking store and manufactuers coupons.

I find their prices for milk and eggs to be the best.

Deli meat is comparable to sale prices at supermarkets but I love the quality.

Fresh beef and chicken products are very good. We don't buy beef often but when we do I buy it there.

I have a stockpile of disposable plates and cups but I buy a box or plastic cutlery (forks, knives and spoons) there twice a year.

I like their fruit and veggie platters to take to parties. I can get produce more cheaply at a local place but the quality at BJs is very good.

We also bought our new tires there and my father in law put new windows into our building using my membership and saved thousands of dollars.

I go 2 times a month for gatorade and water. My hubby uses a lot doing lawns in the summer time. I hardly ever buy anything else. I do use the gas station though for cheaper gas.

Thanks for all your input! It's good to know that there are other members of the board who like to shop at BJ's :)

[Kaylasmommy]

I go all the time mostly for the meat department. The meat there is so much nicer and little to no fat on any of it and a few other things.
