Costco and BJs are the two biggest rivalries for wholesale clubs. I am a member at both and am falling in love with Costco!

Here’s the thing, my heart has belonged to BJs for over ten years, and it’s closer. I also love couponing and extreme deals.

It can be hard to know if you’re getting the best price on snacks, especially if you’re shopping at multiple stores.

If you’re like most people, you want to get the best deal on your groceries. But it can be hard to compare prices and figure out which store has the lowest prices on everything.

We did the work for you. In this post, we compare the prices of multipack snacks at Costco and BJ’s Wholesale Club.

We found that BJ’s offers a better price on some items, while Costco offers a better price on others. But either way, you can save money by shopping at both clubs.

And there is an ultimate winner.

Yet I can see many awesome deals at Costco as well.

With back-to-school items out on shelves and soon to be off shelves, I thought it would be fun to compare a few of the popular back-to-school snacks at BJs and Costco for price.

GoGurt

Costco sells GoGurt Simple, 16 strawberries, 16 Mixed Berry for $8.99. The difference I see is the amount of sugar.

WINNER: BJ’s but it would depend on if you want to spend more for less sugar. Hard to really say on this one.

So, which club offers the best price on multipack snacks? The answer may surprise you!

BJ’s Club actually offers the best prices on most items. However, Costco does have a few deals that beat out BJ’s prices.

Overall, though, if you are looking to save money on your snack purchases, BJ’s Club is the place to go. And don’t forget – both clubs offer discounted memberships so you can save even more!
