BJ's Shopping Trip 5/23/2015

We stopped into BJ's to pick up some tables for our yard sale.  We have been planning on getting the tables regardless but when I went to the store the other day there was a sign up for an instant coupon savings of $5.00 per table.  We wanted to make sure we picked up the tables while they were $5.00 off so we stopped in tonight.

The tag had already been changed back for some reason to $48.89 with no mention of the $5.00 coupon but I took a picture of it the other day so I brought it up on my phone to double check the end date.  In the picture the price of the tables were $49.99 with the $5.00 coupon making them $44.99 which was only a savings of $3.90 per table since they raised the price when they put the coupon on the tables.

When the cashier scanned the tables they rang up $49.99 minus the $5.00 instant coupon.  I pointed out to the cashier that they were $48.89 on the tag and she called the manager over.  The manager went back to the tables and pulled the tags then redid my transaction and price adjusted the tables to $48.89 and the $5.00 coupons came off.

BJ's Shopping Trip 5/21/2015

I needed to stop into BJ's to pick up some bread and bananas.  While there I looked at the tables we plan on getting for the yard sale and to my surprise there is a clipless coupon on them currently!  The coupon is for $5.00 and is good until May 28 so we have a little while to pick up some tables.  Hopefully this weekend we will be able to get them.  It does look like they raised the price on the tables slightly when they put the coupon on it, I hate when stores do that but still it is something we need to get and saving some money on them is better than nothing since we would be getting them regardless.

I was going to go through a normal checkout since I was using another free bread coupon and those need to be manually input since the max value exceeds the price of all of the Arnold breads in my local store.  The normal checkout was packed though and no one was at the self checkouts so I went there instead.  When I called over an associate to input my coupon he just overrode it instead of manually entering the price of the bread so it took the full $2.99 off!  So I got an extra $0.30 to help pay for the bananas.

BJ's Shopping Trip 5/14/2015

I made a quick stop into BJ's to pick up another loaf of bread for free.  I had another Ibotta offer for $0.30 on bread to submit.  I noticed that after submitting for the bread on Brian's phone earlier this week that his reset and came back with a $0.20 offer so I see more moneymaker bread in the near future!

BJ's Shopping Trip 5/12/2015

We have been out of bananas for a few days and Lily has been protesting the lack of "nanas" in the house.  I had a few manufacturers coupons I found on wine boxes for $2.00 off a $3.00 or more bakery item purchase and I thought that using them in BJ's to pick up some muffins cheap would be a nice treat.  The coupon did not scan so the cashier asked a manager but they said it was valid and to input it.

I realized after I made my purchase that SavingStar has a 20% back on bananas offer so I might have to stop into BJ's again before the offer disappears.

BJ's Shopping Trip 4/30/2015

We had to stop into BJ's to get some more bananas and bread.  Lily and I got soaked getting into the car to leave but once we got to the store the sun started to come back out and it made the most beautiful, vivid rainbow I have ever seen.  It was gorgeous and she had fun pointing to it and looking at all of the colors.

BJ's Shopping Trip 4/24/2015

Made a quick stop into BJ's to pick up some bananas. 

There is a printable BJ's coupon for free Arnold bread and I wanted to test it out to see if the coupon would go through no problem before I print out more of them.  They were about to close so I was sent up to the customer service desk to check out.  The coupon was not scanning properly, I am not sure what the screen said because the associate would not tell me.  She just said it was not going through and had to wait for someone else to come over to input the coupon. 

I was worried about the coupon being valid after this but looked it up and it does seem to be a valid coupon issued by BJ's!  So I will print out and save them to use throughout the next few months since it does not expire until the end of July!

Harris Teeter Shopping Trip 4/7/2015

My last stop was Harris Teeter. I went to 2 different stores. Recently someone mentioned that Harris Teeter would accept BJ's coupons for products. I was skeptical so I called around to 4 local stores. Three of the four said no, if it was not a purchase based coupon (example: $10 off $50 purchase) forget it. The newest store though told me they may accept them depending on the wording so I read a coupon to the manager (it did not state a product size, just said $3.00 off any 2 Sargento products) and he said he would accept it! I was still a bit nervous about trying to use them but gave it a shot tonight. The cashier at self checkout had no problem with letting me use them, we just had to wait for a manager to come and approve! So amazing deal with my BJ's coupons on cheese. Excited to see what deals I can get in the future using them!
