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

mocha poka · 08-10-2007, 07:18:32 PM

I'm looking to see how many of our members actually shop at BJ's. So if you have a membership please give a shout out here in this thread by stating you are a member and letting us know how many trips you make on average a month.

Thanks in advance for your help :Wave:.

So I'll start :)

I obviously have a membership, lol, and usually stop in 2-3x a week. My BJ's is on my work route so I feel compelled to stop in to see what's going on inside!

I have been rolling the free memberships for years. I go a few times per year, I can do much better elsewhere with triples and catalina overage.

I do like to go in and harvest coupons from BJ's - many competitors honor them.

I buy our milk and a few other staples there. I can get a comparable deal to using coupons at a regular store for more than a few things. We don't get many triples here and the ones we do get are horrible (see the Ingles coupon policy, lol!).

I agree that using the coupons at a regular store is the way to go. Our Publix accepts them and there are always good deals to be found. Unfortunately it seems that the last few months the BJs here is not putting out their coupons :( I'm not finding them like I use to.

I used to go all the time, but since couponing here, I rarely go unless for eggs or other items I can't get as cheap elsewhere.

I go 1-2X a month. I like that you can use multiple couples on multi-packs of things. I got Hubba a years' worth of razors for $10 a couple of months ago. YAY! Like T.O.N.^^, I enjoy the samples, so do the boys! LOL

Couldn't live w/o my membership.
I only use pantrene conditioner, and w/ q's (stack mfr. w/ store) it's reliably the cheapeset around. what I save on that alone a year pays for the membership.
Not-so-well-known (but better here than average)
Yes, you CAN stack mfr, 's w/ BJs Qs
AND if it is a multipack, you can use as many mfr. qs as there are items in the pack.
i.e. a 2 pk of lysol wipes, use 1 Bjs Q + 2 ea. $1/1 Qs.

I don't know what a BJ's is...when I see it on HCW all I think is *low *ob.

I'm always thinking of that.

I go about 2-3 times a month I guess. It is a bit of a drive to get there. I have had the membership for several years though because of the cheaper gas prices.
I did not know about stacking coupons there, will have to see where I can get some stuff at a bargain now!
