I recently had the honor of attending my first blogger event. The sweet people from BJ’s Wholesale invited several Atlanta area bloggers to their Woodstock, Georgia location to get a first hand look at their holiday collection items including food and merchandise.
Let me just say this, BJ’s is your one stop shop for all your holiday needs this year. BJ’s may very well be your one stop shop every month of the year. When you shop at BJ’s you can take care of everything on your shopping list rather than driving from store to store wasting your valuable time. They carry just about everything you can think of….and more. You can buy some items in bulk (diapers, laundry soap, crackers) and you can buy many other exclusive items like cameras, Wii game bundles , and Dolly & Me outfits. BJ”s has a team of buyers who scours the world for the best products.
I am pretty sure there is a woman in your life who would love one of these Mon Amie bracelets. With a $49.99 price tag they are a very affordable gift to wish for.
Got a coffee lover in your house? Pick up a Keurig machine.
BJ’s thinks about every member of the family, including Fido!
If you still need a Teacher Gift consider buying The Polar Express hot cocoa tins. This four pack costs $9.99. Each tin of hot chocolate can be given as an individual gift. Yummy and easy on the budget!
After the tour we were able to taste some of the amazing food that BJ’s offers. Oh my gosh. Cheese, rolls, red velvet cake. It was a carb calorie overload, and worth every single crumb.
- Just a few of the things you can pick up at BJ’s
My visit to BJ’s made me rethink our current wholesale club membership at a competitor warehouse. BJ’s carries items for regular people, like me! The fact that they take store coupons and manufacturer coupons is also a huge factor to consider. If only BJ’s were closer to my house the decision would be made. BJ’s provided me with a few goodies including a Hamilton Beach ice cream maker (love it!), a Lydon Reed Gingerbread House Kit (anxiously waiting to make it), some Polar Bear Hot Cocoa (pending a teacher gift), and a $25 gift card for myself (still burning a hole in my pocket, really considering getting the Mon Amie bracelet).
The wonderful people at BJ’s are spreading some holiday love. One lucky Coupons are Great winner will receive a $25 BJ’s Gift Card. You do not have to be a member to take advantage of this deal since you can print a pass for a 60-day trial membership.
