I had the opportunity to shop at BJ’s Wholesale Club for the first time last weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.

My shop-and-save fun began when I received a free 60 day trial membership, a $25 gift card and a slew of member coupons in conjunction with the review. I knew I would find some great deals on things I needed for the house, but I had my eye on a new GPS unit. I was so excited to find the TomTom 130-S on sale for only $69.99. Can you guess what I used that gift card for?

BJ’s has such a wide variety of products, so I picked up some cleaning supplies in bulk (for a good price), and my kids found a great Christmas gift for dad. I was also able to use manufacturer coupons (yes, they even take the ones from the Sunday paper), and that’s not always an option when shopping warehouse clubs. 

Activating my membership was very easy, and I was offered a 14 month membership (instead of just 12) and a $10 coupon if I opted to purchase the $45 membership. I would have definitely taken the offer if the store was a little closer to my home, especially since they have a no risk 100 percent money back guarantee of the membership fee if I ever wished to cancel. (Nice!)

Since joining, I’ve received a number of coupons by email, and the combined discounts result in substantial savings for my family. You can download your own free 60-day trial membership to see for yourself.

Thanks to BJ’s and MyBlogSpark for providing this opportunity!
