Do you shop at BJ's and if so how many times do you go

[andym1226]

I go on average 1-2 times per month. DH and I adore the Millstone Whole bean Colombian Supremo coffee, and the price is GREAT! We go through about 5 lbs a month. That is the main item I get there now b/c of the price and it is not available in any other stores in the area. I used to get more in the larger sizes, but since frequenting this site, I see that I can get things much cheaper in other stores with sales and coupons, etc!!

Bananas @ 1.39/3lbs (awesome price for our area)
Vegetarian Fed-Organic Chicken Breast (cheaper than Publix)
Organic Spinach
Organic Carrots
Organic Butter
Nuts/Seeds
Peach Fruit Cups
Frozen Vegetables
YoBaby Organic Yogurt
Mr Clean Sponges
Bounty Paper Towels
Charmin Toilet Paper
Organic P.B.

I have had a BJ's membersip for about 10 years and I would never get rid of it. I go there weekly for gas but I only go into the store twice a month.
I regularly purchase:
Land o'Lakes cheese (deli)-cheapest anywhere at $3.49/lb
Rotisserie chicken-cheaper and larger than the supermarket
milk
bananas-when not on sale elsewhere
eggs
big bag o' raisins-BJ's brand
Minor's chicken and beef stock-cheap + it lasts a long time!
frozen shrimp
REAL maple syrup
Cards & gift wrap
Books (my weakness)
some clothes
movies occasionally

I used to always get my formula there, as well as dipes. I never spend more than $50 when I go in, usually in the $25-$30 range. I think the membership is worth it for the gas alone.

LOVE the raisins!!! Did you ever get the yogurt-covered ones? Fabulous, but addicting and full of sugar and calories. We had to stop buying them!!!

I live a few hundred feet from Bj's, so we are there ALL the time. We have 4 children so we are getting milk every otherday, not to mention diapers, snacks, and juices. It is also the place we get gas.

It took me a year to convince my husband that we should get a membership, but now he doesn't argue a bit when it comes time to renew it.

I didn't know about being able to stack coupons, but I can't wait to go and see what deals I can get!

I just stumbled across HCW and I love it here...I shop BJ's almost daily (doesn't hurt I am a Customer Service Manager there.) I end up finding amazing deals and my biggest weakness is the books... That and the rotisserie chicken as someone else mentioned. YUMMY!

Any BJ's questions just shoot them my way. Anyone who doesn't have a membership yet there is a promo going on--Just an FYI.

We go to BJs weekly just for the cheaper gas. Sometimes I pop in just to get some milk and look for coupons. I'm tickled to learn that you can stack coupons there and use more than one on a package. Learn something new evey day. Thanks!

I used to go twice a month or so, had the rewards card and made back more than enough to pay for the rewards upgrade. Since I found HCW, I go every couple months and downgraded from the rewards card to the regular card. Things I (and DH) buy:

Books
Greeting cards and other American Greetings stuff (e.g. birthday candles) - they're 1/2 price
Oil of Olay bar soap
Eggland Organic eggs
Organic butter
Morningstar Farms breakfast patties
Bob Evans or Jimmy Dean precooked sausage patties
Oscar Mayer precooked bacon
Head and Shoulders shampoo

I love their clothing racks in the middle of the store after the season - I've gotten $5 Izod shirts, $5 sweaters, etc. I used to get gas there all the time but then they took off the handle clips so I had to stand there and hold it for 17 gallons (sounds like nothing but my arthritic hands make this very painful). The clips are back - I guess enough people complained.

My best coupon buy there was when P&G was dumb enough to put out a BOGO Head and Shoulders coupon and not give a maximum size Gotta love that BJ's even takes manufacturers' coupons.

I seem to go once a week or so. I always try to get my gas there since it is the cheapest price by quite a bit on my side of town. I also get my deli meat and cheese, milk and eggs there. I also love their lavash bread (low carb and great for wraps)

I had been getting my diapers there as well but since joining HCW, I have found ways to get them for less.

I was there today and they have a BJs BOBO coupon on Fresh Express bags of salad, which worked out great since I needed some anyways. Two bags for $2.59, not free but pretty good.

I also love getting my greeting cards there and when I need flowers, they are usually a great price.

I go about every six weeks, mostly for meat and eggs. I also occasionally buy books there. I can do better with coupons at other stores for personal hygiene items, pet food, and most canned goods.
