In an effort to save money, families are spending more time at home and whipping up favorite family meals. Doing that, it’s all too easy to fall into a recipe rut. BJ’s Wholesale Club has developed some recipes that serve four people to help fit your budget.
Here is one of the recipes:

Doesn’t that sound yummy!!! And with the summer coming you could toss in so many things fresh from the garden too!
Bj’s is a great place for coupon users. They are the only wholesale club to accept manufacturer’s coupons in addition to their own, helping to further trim your grocery bill! You can use multiple coupons on a multi-pack of “individual for sale” items, by combing a BJ’s coupon and manufacturer’s coupons (you cannot use multiple BJ’s coupons on a product). For example, when you purchase a 3-pack of toothpaste, use three manufacturer’s coupons – one per each individual tube. It’s great for stocking up on essentials!
