|

They usually have smaller packs than Costco and a lot more variety. You
really have to compare prices week to week.
|

No excuse not to have a veggie. We use this to make salad
anytime. You get four or five heads for $2.99.
|
| Celery |
|
Vitamins
|
|
Fish Oil
|
|
| Vitamins |

Patrick Cudihy Bacon 100 slices
|
$10.99 I have officially
switched from buying bacon at Costco to buying bacon at BJ's. I don't
like the thich Costco bacon and there is no need to have such big
pieces. This takes 30 seconds to cook in the toaster oven.

|
2 pack for $4.79. Yes! I hate
having to hunt this stuff down in the other supermarkets (mostly Market
Basket.)

3 pack for $6.49. If you don't
buy your own Isi
whipper, this is the next best thing.

just don't run out of this!

3 lbs for $7.29 (beats buying

Frozen Foods
|
|
Atkins Pepperoni Pizza

|
3 pack! Yes, you can find them
here for $6.99. Inclused Doritos Flavor, sour cream and regular
tostitos. (Wish it included the cheetos instead of the tostitos.) I
don't know why these things are hidden.
|
Planters Single Packet Peanuts
|
48 count $7.49
|
Manua Laui Macadamia
|
12 oz. for $7.99
|
Planters Tube Nuts
|
12 salted peanut, 6 honey
roasted, 6 salted cashews... not your best choice! Honey roasted you
would have to give away, and cashews have a lot of carbs, and the
serving size is too big.

I buy this to have on hand for
the 7-layer dip.
