My friend Grace recently got a membership to BJ’s whole sale club. I think it was the fact that BJ’s will let you use a BJ’s coupon PLUS a manufacture coupon. AND they will let you use multiple MFC’s on the multi packs.  Check out how I pinched pennies on this shopping trip to BJs’s.

 

  • BRITA 10 Pack  $ 39.99
  • BJ’s $7 coupon
  • MFC Coupon $5 found HERE  Take the pledge and get a $5 coupon off a brita system (check the first 5 digits on the bar code and they will match a multi pack of filters)
  • Final price: $27.99

 

  • Pringles 6 pack $6.99
  • use 3 $1/2 coupons 
  • final price : $3.99 (.66 a piece)

 

  • Garnier Fruitics Conditioner (40 oz.) $6.99
  • BJ’s $2 coupon
  • MFC coupon $1
  • Final price :$3.99

Buy 3 General Mills Products listed ( It was a flyer that came in the mail) and Get $5 off.  We choose:

  • Basic 4 {2 pack} ( not listed but the clerk overrode the coupon for us) $6.69

  • Yoplait Lite $7.49
  • total : $20.67
