Anyone who doesn't shop in bulk on a weekly basis probably questions the expiration date on many products. I hear so many people say they don't grab a cheap BJs membership ( I mean it's only $15 for the year) because they won't use items up before they go bad.
Well here my friends are five items that have a nice long expiration date and I can almost guarantee you can use these canned goods up before they expire.
These five items are found at all three of the wholesale clubs, BJs, Sam's and Costco. I just like BJ's the best.
Fall is here and this brings on the crockpot/ Instant pot recipes galore! This week Target even has a super deal on the Instant Pot. Or BJ's members can pay $59.99 for the Bella Pressure cooker here.
Canned items from BJs make meal planning easier and also don't break the budget. Planning all our meals was one of the steps we took to pay off all our debt. You can see my past menu plan Monday series here.
1.Del Monte Blue Lake French Style Green Beans, 8 pk./14.5 oz. – $6.99
The final price you pay is $5.49 or $0.68 a can.
If you have a manufacturer's coupon for this item you could stack that as well or use when there isn't a BJs coupon.
2.Goya Beans 8 pk. $5.99 ( Black, Chick Pea, and White Beans to choose from)
Beans are one of the items I list in my must-have pantry staples. When the seasons start to cool down I love adding a can of beans into all my casseroles and crock pot meals!
Plus Goya frequently has coupons on their website. BJ's has their own store coupons for this item. Through 9/26 you can use this coupon $1.25/1 Goya Canned Beans BJs coupon (exp 09/26/18).
That makes each can $0.59 after coupon. Savingstar also has a 1% cashback offer on all Goya Products here.
3. Wellsley Farms Pink Salmon 6 ct. 6 oz. $13.99
I didn't grow up with this stuff as my parents did. This is why I had my mom taste test this one. She was very impressed. Among her and the other sample ladies at BJs, they agreed the taste was spot on and you didn't have to worry about any bones!
That's always plush. The advantage is this is cheaper than buying fresh and since it is a BJs brand product there is a 100% money back guarantee.
Each can is only $2.33!
4. Wild Selections Solid White Tuna, 4 pk./5 oz. $9.99
This is a great protein to have on hand. My kids are big fans of the classic tuna melts. Grab some cheap hot dog buns from BJs ( 12 ct is $1.89!) and mix tuna with mayo and top it with cheese and there you have it. It's an instant kid pleaser.
“Great right out of the can, Wild Selections solid white tuna is perfect for sandwiches, salads and more. Wild Selections tuna is caught using sustainable catching practices, is traceable and MSC-certified. Each can supports World Wildlife Fund conservation efforts. ”
5. Hunt's Diced Tomatoes, 8 pk./14.5 oz. $6.99
Canned tomatoes are a must have in my pantry list. The regular price for these is an affordable option for home cooked meals, but if you can stack a coupon, what a deal.
“These Hunt's 14.5 Oz. Diced Tomatoes are 100% natural and made with premium, vine-ripened tomatoes. The tomatoes are free of artificial ingredients and preservatives while delivering Vitamin C and Lycopene.”

I really enjoy the Wellsley brand canned chicken breast, delicious. I can make chicken salad sandwiches to a chicken casserole, great to keep on hand .

Not sure how I feel about Salmon in a can ??. I’d never seen the meal planning link for that before so I’ll check that out. ❤️
Love keeping these things stocked but honestly Bj’s isn’t usually the best deal on canned goods. The Walmart Great Value brand is usually a better deal. Black beans etc. come in 4 pks at a great price. Chick peas are always in our pantry, we love hummus! Recently we are loving the avocado hummus! BJ’s had a great deal around the holidays for chicken stock, I think it was an 8 pk? And with a coupon! Anyways I’m kicking myself for not sticking up on that deal!
Great prices on the salmon and tuna, I also love the Wellsley brand chicken breast in the can.
The Goya Beans definitely. They are much cheapies than buying single cans at the grocery store.
Yes I love to keep canned black beans and tuna. Thanks for these stock up canned goods. Good for donations as well.
Thanks! I love Goya black beans!
Great tips ..thank you for posting !
Thanks for the tips!!!
I love to make my own and tomato sauce so having cans of tomato on hand is a great option the Goya beans are amazing I use every single one of them love to make homemade hummus, falafel and adding them to salads and Indian dishes.
May have to get the Salmon never tried it before. The hunts is a great deal. I use that a lot in Crock-Pot dishes. Thanks.
good deal on the pressure cooker
I’ve never tried the canned pink salmon, so this will be a new try for me. I always stock up on most of the others. Thanks for all your hard work.
I get hunts tomato sauce and diced tomato from BJs. I never know if I’m going to need a single can or three when making sauces and soups so it’s nice to know there is an 8pack on the shelf. We get green beans and corn there with Delmonte being the preferred brand. I also get canned chicken for enchilada and chicken salad. So,Ernie’s soups if it’s a good buy. Also rotel and bushes baked beans when they have coupons.
Thanks, time to stock up on the canned food you suggested.
Goya Beans are always a good deal at BJ’s! Love me some chick peas for homemade humus and in my salads!
Great post!
