Best BJ’s Fall Foods You Should Buy This Year (Plus How to Stock Up for Less)

There’s something about that first crisp morning that has me mentally rerouting my whole grocery list. Out with the popsicles, in with everything pumpkin, cinnamon, and apple. And honestly, BJ’s is one of the best places to stock up for fall foods because you’re getting bulk savings on all the seasonal stuff before it disappears from shelves in November.

Here’s what’s worth grabbing this year, plus a couple of ways to make your membership pay for itself this season.

The Fall Foods Worth Stocking Up On

Wellsley Farms Spiced Apple Cider, 64 oz. This is the one that makes my kitchen smell like a hayride. It’s made with 100% apple juice and real caramel flavor, and at 64 oz. it actually lasts more than one weekend in my house (barely).

Mayer Bros. Cinnamon-Spice Apple Cider, 64 fl. oz. If you want something with a little more warmth and less sweetness than the caramel version, this one leans into the cinnamon hard. Great for slow-mulling on the stove with a few extra cinnamon sticks thrown in.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice K-Cups, 64 ct. The 64-count box is basically a season’s worth of pumpkin spice lattes for less than what you’d spend on five coffee shop runs. If anyone in your house drinks coffee daily, this is the one to grab first.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Ground Coffee, 35 oz. For the people who still brew the old-fashioned way, this is the same flavor in a bigger format. I keep a bag of this on the counter the entire month of October.

Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Baking Mix, 3 pk. This one’s a sleeper hit. It makes muffins, mini muffins, loaves, pancakes, waffles, or cookies, so it’s basically five fall recipes hiding in one box. I keep one in the pantry and one in the freezer stash.

Wellsley Farms Pumpkin Pie, 10″ When you don’t have time to bake but still need something on the dessert table, this pie is a real flaky crust with a properly spiced pumpkin filling. Grab-and-go for potlucks, school events, or a random Tuesday when you just want pie.

Stonewall Kitchen Apple Cider Jam, 29.5 oz. This one surprised me. It tastes like apple pie in a jar, and it’s incredible on biscuits or stirred into oatmeal. It also makes a really good glaze for pork chops if you want to get a little fancy with dinner.

Wellsley Farms Mac and Cheese, 2.9–3.5 lbs. Not technically a “fall flavor,” but mac and cheese earns its spot on this list every year. Once the temperature drops, this is what’s getting reheated for dinner on the busy nights, and the bulk size means I’m not making a special trip mid-week.

A few of these are seasonal items, so once they’re gone, they’re gone until next year — worth grabbing sooner rather than later if you see them in your club.

Don’t Forget: BJ’s $14 Membership Deal

If you’re not a member yet (or your membership has lapsed), now is the time. BJ’s has a $14 membership offer running right now, which is a steal considering a regular Inner Circle membership usually runs closer to $55 a year.

With everything on this list being a seasonal item, even one good club run will more than cover the cost of the membership itself. This deal expires on July 6, so if you’ve been on the fence, this is your sign to lock it in before it’s gone.

Stack Your Coupons for Even Bigger Savings

Here’s the part a lot of shoppers miss: BJ’s lets you stack manufacturer coupons with their own BJ’s coupons on the same item, which is where the real savings happen. The process is simple —

• Check the BJ’s app or weekly coupon book for any BJ’s-issued coupon on the item you want
• Then check for a manufacturer coupon on that same product (manufacturer sites, coupon apps, or even the product packaging)
• Use both at checkout, since they apply separately and don’t cancel each other out

So instead of just clipping one coupon, you’re stacking two discounts on the same item, and that’s how you turn a $14 membership into real grocery savings all season long.

Keep an eye on the seasonal items above for both BJ’s coupons and manufacturer offers, since fall flavors tend to get featured pretty heavily in the coupon book through October.

Stock up, freeze what you can, and enjoy the season without the grocery store markup.
