One question I always get asked when I teach couponing classes is about big box stores like B.J.’s and Costco. While you can get great deals at these stores, you have to be careful. Not everything is a bargain. For example, you get much better deals on things like cereal, laundry detergent, and paper goods by waiting for sales and using coupons at the grocery store. However, there are some things that will almost always be a better deal at the big box stores.
- Butter
- Milk
- Trash bags
- Plastic utensils and cups
- Paper cups, bowls, and plates
- Pet Foods
- Sterno

I get the Dole fruit cups, Snack Pack pudding and cases of 12 oz. gatorades for lunches there too. I don’t get many coupons for those and when I do I use them there for even more savings.
