A frugal moment

I've come across a LOT of people that have BJ's Membership Cards but don't know that they accept manufacturer's coupons. The few that DO know that don't know this little known secret. BJ's accepts multiple coupons for multi-packs. For instance if you pick up a 4-pack of Gillette Series deodorants for men, you can use 4 coupons for the one multi-pack. Direct from the BJ's website (Click on FAQ's at the bottom of the page):

Can I use coupons?
Absolutely! BJ’s is the only warehouse club to welcome all manufacturers’ coupons — including the ones that come in your Sunday newspaper — giving you additional savings on top of our already low BJ’s Member PricingSM. Plus, we offer BJ’s Members-only coupons throughout the year. After all, saving you money is what BJ’s is all about.

You can get exclusive BJ’s coupons:

  • Online. To access and print online coupons, you will need to create an Online Profile.
  • In BJ’s Journal, BJ’s Member magazine
  • Through special-offer mailings
  • In BJ’s in-Club coupon flyers

Can I use more than one coupon?
You may not use more than one coupon on a single item. However, if you buy a multi-pack (a pack that contains multiple full-sized packages of a single product shrink-wrapped together) you may use multiple coupons.

For example, if you have 2 coupons for 50¢ off an 8-oz. bottle of face cleanser and you are buying a multi-pack that contains 2 or more 8-oz. bottles of face cleanser you may use both coupons.


I went into BJ's last week and was able to use 3 coupons off of 10 ct. or more Gillete razors (a 52-pack [$14 for a YEAR's worth of razors for my hubby]), 2 coupons for 50¢/2 Barilla pasta (I got a 8-ct multi-pack), $1/1 Fruit Chillers (This brought my total for 4 4-pks of fruit sorbet to $2.xx) and a few other multiple coupons. BE SURE to read the limits on the coupons and abide by them.

I'll also let you know that it's best to go to a cashier with your multiple coupons as the first one will scan, any after that for the same multi-pack will not and will need to be overrode by an employee. I used the self checkout last week and the poor, very busy lady had to come and override about 8 coupons for me. No hassles, but I could tell she was trying to rush.

Happy Membership shopping! (PS- I am not an affiliate of BJ's, but I decided on their card after comparing the top 3 major warehouses. This is the second membership I've had with them and I am very happy with their prices, definitely their coupon policy and above all, their customer service. I still shope other places for certain things, especially when I can get them free or for pennies on the dollar elsewhere.)

I like it when people plug BJ's. I am a member because of the convenience factor. We do have friends, who were Sam's Club members, and one of their first comments about BJ's was that they accept coupons. I did not realize you could do multiple. Thanks for thip.

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
