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

[JOURDYSMOM]

I go a few times a year..their prices aren't that great..and my cars get crappy gas mileage with their gas as they use 15% ethanol

I, go once a month for the past several years and i always get great deals, especially w/ stacking coupons on my last trip i paid a little under $290.00( i shop for others also) and i used $107.00 in coupons. there are items i dont buy but overall i do most of my monthly shopping there.

I love my BJ's because I get a absolutely fantastic deal on Nature Made vitamins! I am able to get 165 vitamins for about $4.50. I used a $5 NM vitamin BJ's coupon along with a $7 Manufacturer's coupon from redeeming the NM codes! Their milk prices are unbelievable too - $2.36 for a gallon of milk. You can't beat that price around here in NJ!

I go to BJ's sometimes once a week. It is about 4 miles from us. I don't get people who say their prices aren't good. Maybe if you don't use coupons they seem high. But I can go to BJ's and stack coupons and get triple the amount of product for the same price or less than the regular grocery store. So if you do it right it works out awesome.

I go to BJ's about once a week. Mostly I get DH's lunch meat, milk, canned chicken (it's yummy!), and Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Since we bought our house I had to cut out my daily trips for D&D iced coffee, so I buy the 2.5 lb. bags and make my own iced coffee at home. It's even better than going to D&D because when I make it myself it always comes out right! I think I would keep the membership just for the coffee, it's very expensive for the smaller packs in the regular stores.

I go about once a week and I always seem to get milk, half & half, 5 dozen eggs, Fresh Express 3 lb. salads, portabello mushrooms if they're $5.99, blueberries if they're $4.99, Philly Gourmet sandwich steaks, LUVS if I have the $5 BJ's coupon, Breathe Right if I have a coupon, almonds, etc......

I shop usually 2 times per month. They have the best prices around here for dog food, since I need huge bags (for 4 dogs), and I will also get bread in between trips to the bread store, and the boxes of single serve chips. The best deal I've goten there was the Wii bundle for Christmas, and even they were sold out, hubby had to go to the one near his work, but got the ssystem, extra controlers and games for what the system usually costs!! All though I try to keep the kids and DH out of there, since they will always find something they want!

I go several times a month - because they are less than 1 mile away from job and i pick stuff up on the way home. I love the multiple coupons able to be used on the multipacks - i've saved about $450 this year alone shopping there and if you get their Credit Card - it has rewards including cash back checks which are awesome. It's nice to get a $20 check in the mail from time to time. Just make sure you shop smart. BJ's has great deals to be had - but also time to time their "bulk" size items are more expensive than you could get comprably elsewhere like Walmart or Target.
