What to buy at BJs

BJs is a membership-only Wholesale Club. Members get BJs coupon booklets every month and you can save money when you use these coupons while shopping at BJs. You can also use Manufacturer Coupons along with BJs coupons, adding up to your savings.

Some items like non-organic produce can be ridiculously expensive at BJs but you could save on other items like Toiletries, Personal Care, Organic Food and so on. If you tend to stock up on items when you have coupons, you can save a good deal and make up for the membership fees.

Here is a shopping list which I often use at BJs. I have found lower prices for many Organic food items compared to supermarkets. Many of these items like Shampoo, Kitchen Towels etc. all have BJs coupons.
