Here's Why You Should Join BJ's Wholesale Club (Plus, Use My Secret Discount to Save!)

As you guys may have noticed, for the past few months I've been working with BJ's Wholesale Club, and during that time, I've become legitimately hooked on it. Today I'm going to tell you why I'm obsessed--and share an amazing membership discount with you! (Spoiler alert: If you use this link, you can join for just $25!)

Here's why I love it: I love going into the big ol' store (mine is in Jersey City) with my big ol' cart and loading up on things I need (and, okay, maybe also some stuff that I don't exactly need...!) and all at seriously great prices. I always go to the store with some specific things on my list (my go-tos include large sizes of the stuff my family tends to go through super quickly like double packs of Applegate bacon, jumbo boxes of Stonyfield yogurt tubes, huge jugs of Tide laundry detergent, and the absolutely glorious multi-packs of sunscreen). 

But I also love meandering through the aisles, checking out the deals, and scooping up some great unexpected things, too. I've found tons of cool stuff this way like my favorite new workout socks, vitamins, yummy desserts, and more. And I always stop by the book section; they have amazing choices for kids and adults. And don't even get me started on the awesomeness of a BJ's shopping trip before a party. I always head there before a bash to stock up on drinks, frozen hors d'oeuvres, paper goods, cakes, candy, chips, etc.

And because I've become such a fan, I wanted to share the love with you guys with this exclusive BJ's membership discount! If you use this link, you can save $30 off the normal $55 fee and become a member for just $25! (And honestly, you'll earn that back in savings practically immediately!)

A few of the benefits:

-Members save up to $500 a year, and an average of 25 percent on groceries. 

-BJ's is the only warehouse club to accept manufacturer's coupons. 

-Speaking of coupons, they also mail you a huge book of coupons every month that has hundreds of additional crazy deals throughout the store. I've never been much of a coupon clipper, but I always bring my BJ's book with me, because the coupons are really good and they're for things I actually want like $1 off Dove body wash, etc.

-Members can save a ton of money on gas, because BJ's has some of the lowest gas prices around.

-And this is really cool: BJ's members can now get same-day delivery of their items through Instacart! This is particularly awesome for us city dwellers who don't necessarily have cars, but that said, the same-day delivery option isn't just for cities. It's available at every club, nation-wide. Because let's be honest: Having your groceries delivered is pretty awesome for busy moms everywhere.

If you'd like to join, please click here. And if you do become a member, definitely let me know here or on social media. Annnnddd...if you put it on social, be sure to tag me (@alyssahertzig) because I'll retweet or regram you! Woo hoo! :)
