There are lots of deals at grocery stores but did you know that you can also save with coupons at wholesale clubs like BJ’s? Wholesale clubs provide value not only in the food department, but in unexpected departments including seasonal entertaining, electronics, baby and health and beauty.

BJ’s Wholesale Club is now offering a Free 60-Day Trial Membership to provide consumers with the opportunity to shop and find hidden gems throughout the club.  You can sign up for the free trial membership through July 6 to experience wholesale club shopping and savings with full member benefits.

To help shoppers save on everyday essentials and special occasion items, check out some coupon savings tips below:

• ·       When purchasing a multi-pack of items at BJ’s, which is a set of items that could be sold individually (each item has a barcode) shrink-wrapped and sold together, shoppers can combine one BJ’s-issued coupon with manufacturers’ coupons. However, you cannot exceed the actual retail price in the total value of coupons.

o    Examples of a multipack include a three-pack of toothpaste, two-pack of salad dressing or a three-pack of taco kits.

• ·       Members may also use one BJ’s coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon on a single item.
• ·       In terms of manufacturer’s coupons that are ‘buy one, get one free’ BJ’s will honor the coupon for items in stock as long as BJ’s price does not exceed the maximum value stated on the coupon.  If the manufacturer’s coupon does not state the maximum value then BJ’s cannot honor the coupon.

Where to Find Coupons:

• ·       BJ’s offers coupons at the front of every club. These coupons are updated twice a month for all Members to use. Additionally, BJ’s has their own coupons available on their website at http://www.bjs.com/coupons/
• ·       BJ’s mails out a quarterly publication called the BJ’s Journal to a majority of its Members, which contains coupons only redeemable at BJ’s.
• ·       BJ’s offers in-club instant savings on tons of items every day. This means no printing or clipping, but more savings.
• ·       BJ’s accepts online manufacturers’ coupons.

Another great way to save money and improve your family’s health is to establish Meatless Mondays in your home.   Imagine sinking your teeth into a succulent burger, indulging in a delicious moussaka or enjoying a hearty soup– all without meat!Going meatless, even one day a week, will improve your family’s health and the health of Mother Earth! Cutting one meat-filled meal a week has proven to limit risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.  You can also “go green” by going meatless and reduce your carbon footprint and lessen dependence on fossil fuels. The Meatless Monday Movement has identified Monday as the best day to get a fresh start and go meatless and BJ’s Wholesale Club is getting on board.

BJ’s has lots of great Meatless Meal Ideas including Southwest Vegetable Soup, Mini Potato and Eggplant Moussaka, and Pear, Blue Cheese, & Pecan Salad.
What is your favorite meatless meal?  I love eggplant parm!
