"What are the guidelines for using more than one coupon?
When purchasing a multi-pack of “individual for sale” packaged items, which is a set of items that could be sold individually (each item has a barcode) shrink-wrapped and sold together, Members can combine one BJ's-issued coupon with manufacturers' coupons. However, you cannot exceed the actual retail price in the total value of coupons.
Examples of a multi-pack:
- Three-pack of toothpaste
- Two-pack of salad dressing
- Three-pack of taco kits
- Box of cereal containing two bags (the bags cannot be sold individually)
- Case of water
- Case of soda
- Case of motor oil
This means that many items qualify for the use of multiple coupons. Some items I have used multiple coupons in the past for include: canned pineapple, canned tomatoes, juice boxes, baby food pouches, paper towels, tissue, sunblock, etc. If you can manage to buy these items when a BJ’s store coupon is also available you can really hit the jackpot!
I don’t believe wholesale clubs are always a bargain. I keep a chart in a small notebook in my purse that lists prices for items that I can find at BJ’s and other stores. It lists the per unit best price so that I can know whether a sale with coupon at Target/Kroger or a coupon at BJ’s would provide the best price. Be sure for paper products to list out price per square foot, not price per roll. Every store has different size rolls, and the single/double/mega/huge roll nonsense can get annoying!
