My sister gave me a few they never even questioned when I tried to give more than one with a different name on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249816 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:15:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 249816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pipers Mommy: WOW. I didn't realize that about the formula! I priced formula at target out of curiosity and haven't felt like popping into BJs to check their prices. Can you use formula checks there? I just got $20 worth from Gerber...on them it says to use like a manufacturer's coupon, but I've never used them before.</p> <p>@erwoo: I've heard so many good things about Costco..but I don't think I have one near me. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249693 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:52:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 249693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BJ's does carry pampers swaddlers. You can combine coupons at BJ's - for example I had a $5 BJ's coupon and a $6 pampers coupon both for swaddlers and could use them together to get $11 off 1 package of diapers.</p> <p>Formula (Emfamile gentleease) is cheapest at amazon with subscribe and save. It's also pretty cheap at target (several $$ less than either grocery store or BRU). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249682 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:44:51 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 249682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon Mom/SS is still the best deal for diapers, IMO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249644 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:18:16 +0000 erwoo 249644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the same about BJs, but then they sent me a $10 off membership so I bought into it. LOL! But in all honesty, BRUs has a lot of deals on Pampers. They currently have an in-store deal for $10 off Pampers. I just used their $10 off coupon as well and then bought more when I saw the $10 off store promotion the other day. Not sure when it ends but soon.</p> <p>I also have Costco and prefer them over BJs any day. I only got the BJs b/c it's convenient when I want to go to the stores near there and don't want to drive to Costco. It's much harder to drive all over the place when you have two kids. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249554 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:08:13 +0000 Pipers Mommy 249554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Us too! we went over 18 months without having to by trash bags. it became a running joke in our household. </p> <p>We can never walk out without spending a minimum of $200 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249545 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:02:30 +0000 purrpletulips 249545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both a Sam's Club and Costco membership but only actually pay for one of them; my mom and I share the SC membership and she picks up the tab for it and we don't use them just for diapers/wipes. We used to get all our diapers at SC then switched to Costco since they offer coupons but found that Huggies give DD horrible diaper rash so that no longer worked. When I compared SC to Amazon I found it was cheaper to go with Amazon subscribe and save; mainly I think because we use Baby Dry and SC only carriers Cruisers which are considered Pamper's premium brand. We get our wipes from Amazon as well but I didn't find a huge price difference between SC and Amazon S&amp;S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249544 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:00:56 +0000 Pipers Mommy 249544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is very much worth it for the formula alone. Gerber Good Start is 32 ounce cans for $27 (just went up from $24- I tried to complain on FB to Gerber (thought they'd throw me a coupon) they could care less) which is still far less than I found it anywhere else. Target/BRU sells 21 ounce cans for $24/piece.</p> <p>I use Luv wipes and diapers. Wipes were $12.99/box 500+. Diapers are $30/box... (we are using size 3 now and still get over 200 diapers per box). They often have $5 off coupons in their monthly mailers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249538 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:52:13 +0000 regberadaisy 249538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: If the only thing you will be buying is diapers, wipes &amp; formula then I think not. I price compared Huggies with BJs and manf coupons vs Amazon when they have a sale and instant coupon with Subscribe and Save and Amazon was cheaper.</p> <p>We use it for tons of other stuff so we'll definitely be renewing.</p> <p>We easily get the membership back with one shopping trip.</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I want to say yes but I'm not 100% positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249536 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:51:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 249536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I think they do, it's listed on their website..yeah I normally hate shopping trips there because the total is so high, but I haven't bought trash bags in over a year! Lol...so it ends up evening out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249531 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:47:33 +0000 Mrsbells 249531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does BJs sell pampers swaddlers? Because I was all excited to save at costco but they dont even sell pampers swaddlers they only sell huggies brand and kirkland signature.<br /> You could try comparing the prices online to see if its worth it or not. The only thing about the BJs membership is you can buy other stuff too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-bjs-membership-worth-it-for-diapers-wipes-and-formula#post-249529 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:44:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 249529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So to renew my BJs membership it's now $50. I'm debating whether or not it's worth it. I live very close to BJs (5 min), but literally one street over from the grocery store (stop and shop). The last 2 years that I've had my membership it paid for itself with 1) wedding candy buffet and 2) mattress, but I primarily food shop at S&amp;S or target.</p> <p>As far as diapers - I have been picking up cases at BRU with a $10/off coupon. So a case of NB swaddlers was $35.99 (210 ct?). I know BJs sends out monthly coupons, but is the $50 cost worth it? If I wait to use coupons at BRU, is the price really all that different?</p> <p>What about wipes or formula? If we FF we plan to start with Gerber Goodstart. </p>
