After my first daughter was born, something in me changed. Okay, many things changed but organic foods brought on a whole new meaning. Do you know the Luvs commercial where they show the parents with their first baby and all the items they bring to leave the house?
When they have the second baby, they just grab one thing and are out the door. This was so true for us! I also felt the same way about every little thing I was feeding our first daughter. She didn't eat a Cheeto until my second daughter was born.
Now I'm not saying you should be eating Cheetos all the time, my point is things loosen up the more kids you have. Even with that, I still love to grab certain organic items at BJ's every time.
I've found these organic items to be the best price at BJs when I compared to my local grocery store Tops and Aldi.
BJ's periodically offers coupons on organic items so always keep an eye out.
My favorite place to print coupons for organic items or healthy foods is here. No, it's not coupons.com click the link 😉
If eating healthier is on your priority list you'll want to consider shopping at BJ's Wholesale Club. I've been shopping at BJ's for almost ten years and love it.
We've compiled seven smart BJ's deals you should grab for a healthier snack this year.

Organic Butter
This has been my favorite butter to cook with. It always gives me great results as a baker. For $8.99 for 8 sticks of butter, it's a reasonable price. It is always a great option, in my opinion, to cook with real butter. Forget the fake stuff. Check out this article to back it up here.
Let's compare and take a look at the Organic Valley Butter at Walmart. a 1 lb. 4 ct pack is $5.64! Shopping BJ's store brand items is one way to save a ton of money at the club.
Organic Flour/Whole Wheat
Organic Flour and Whole Wheat flour have recently been added to BJ's Wholesale Club. I am so glad. King Arthur is my favorite flour to bake with, and I love making muffins and cookies, adding whole wheat flour. You can get a 10 lb. bag of King Arthur Whole Wheat flour for just $7.49.
Organic King Arthur Flour is $6.99 for 5 lbs.

Coconut oil is a great price at most warehouse clubs. BJ's is even better because they offer coupons on it once in a while. There are so many uses for Coconut oil other than just baking or cooking. At a price of $14.99 for 54 oz.
Let's compare this to Amazon. Better Body Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is $19.99 for 56 oz. The most comparable out of other grocery stores to price.
Organic Lettuce
I have yet to see a better price on Organic lettuce than at warehouse clubs. I know that BJ's and Costco run the same price on Organic lettuce, which is super affordable.
BJ's brand Wellsley Farms has a 100% money-back guarantee. So if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can return it for a full refund. Don't have the receipt? That's okay. They can look up your purchases with your membership card.

On the quick oats, you’ll often find grocery store brands for around $2.39 for a 42oz container, even less at Aldi. Unless BJ’s has a good coupon stack, it’s worth getting generic. Also, sometimes find the texture of Quaker isn’t as good as the generic.

Great list!

How is the butter? I always see it and want to try it but… How does it taste?
Tasia
It’s so much better! I just went back to the BJs brand butter and I forgot how white regular butter is. The taste isn’t half as good. I love baking with the organic one to feel like everything tastes and rises better.
