Total Spent: $29.99  Total Saved: $30.48 (that’s just the coupon savings!!)

I walked into BJ’s Wholesale Club last night, and it was as if someone had opened the Pearly Gates for this couponer.  Yes, my dear readers, I was in coupon heaven. I could not believe the amount of coupons they had available to me.  I walked up to the counter with my trusty free pass, and was then showed even  MORE coupons. Unfortunately, they would not give me these extra coupons unless I signed up for a paid membership.  So, I made the choice to buy the pass, so that I could give you all the scoop on what you can save at  BJ’s Wholesale Club. Georgia BJ’s Wholesale clubs are having a special this month anyway, where membership is only $30 (instead of $45).

And did you guys know that BJ’s has a membership guarantee?  If for any reason you are unhappy with your membership from when you purchase it until 14 months later when it expires, you can cancel and get your ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP FEE REFUNDED!  So after the lady waved the magic coupons in front of my face and told me about their guarantee, I was hooked.

So here are the deals I got:

Cheerios $5.19 - $3 BJ’s coupon = $2.19 for two bags or $1.09 ea! (if you have manufacturer coupons to combine with this, it would bet a better deal)
King Arthur Flour 10 lb. $5.79
4 Kraft Cream Cheese $5.29 - $15/4 BJ’s coupon = $6.16 for 8 HUGE tubs, or .77 cents a tub!!!
2 1  1/2 Dozen Eggs $3.49 - .60 Peelie on product and B1G1 Free coupon = $2.89 for three dozen eggs!
16 ct Hamburger Buns (we’re having a cook-out today) $1.89
1 Marscapone Cheese $3.99 - $2/1 BJ’s coupon = $1.99!!
3 lb. Bananas $1.39 - FREE item BJ’s coupon = FREE!
24 pack Apple & Eve Juice $12.89 – $5/1 BJ’s coupon = $7.89!

Other deals I noticed but didn’t get:

Immaculate Baking Co. Cookie Dough (natural/organic stuff-makes 48 cookies) $5.99
Baby Carrots $4.99 - $1/1 BJ’s coupon = $3.99 or .99/lb
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls 32 ct. $6.99 - Buy Cinnamon Rolls get Orange Juice Free Bj’s coupon (big thing of orange juice), and use 3 $1/3 from the 10/18 SS insert or 3 .40/2 printable HERE = $3.99 for Juice and 32 Cinnamon Rolls if you use the $1 coupons!

Info on BJ’s coupon policy:

• They do not double coupons
• They do take internet printables.
• Store coupons available online, in the BJ’s Journal, BJ’s Member magazine, through special-offer mailings, and in the BJ’s in-club coupon fliers.

• You can combine BJ’s coupons with Manufacturer coupons.
• You can use multiple coupons if you are purchasing a multi-pack. But they do limit the MFR coupons used on multi-packs to 3.
• Some items have instant rebate discounts if they are soon to expire or the store is discontinuing the item for some reason (like mark-downs).

So what do you all think of BJ’s Wholesale Club? Some of the prices were ridiculous (I thought), but there are some bargains you can snag (as you can see from my trip).  I like that they have a lot more organic items than Sam’s Club does. If you head out, be sure to come back and tell us about the deals you got!
