BJ’s carries everything you need for back to school at affordable prices… and if you are sending your teen off to college, it’s a one-stop-shop. You will find computers, bedding, furniture, appliances, toiletries, food… everything your college-bound teen could possibly need!
Last week I had the pleasure of attending a back to school event at my local BJ’s Wholesale Club. We toured through the store discussing all the new items BJ’s has stocked to help you prepare for the new school year. Backpacks, lunch boxes, pens, Post-it Notes, markers, crayons… everything you might need.
Then as a special treat Chef Glenn Lyman of GCooks discussed how to stock up on BJ’s grocery items for quick, healthy snacks and lunches that kids can make on their own. Children are much more likely to eat healthy if they prepare the food themselves. And if you put them in charge of their lunch and/or snack they can’t complain to you if they don’t like it!
Chef Glenn talked about how, with just a little bit of prep work from mom or dad, kids could make their own healthy and delicious lunches and snacks just as easily as grabbing a pre-made, preservative-filled snack pack from the pantry.
With sliced Granny Smith apples, celery, honey ham, smoked turkey, salami, pretzel rods, sliced colby jack cheese, Babybel Mini Original Cheese, cream cheese and honey mustard dressing, Chef Glenn created all types of crunchy, sweet and savory treats that all the kids LOVED. Including an awesome “sushi” roll that was my 12 year old’s favorite snack of the night.

Ingredients
- 2-4 pieces honey ham
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (or to taste)
- 2-3 cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1 Babybel cheese, cut into thin slices

Instructions
- Lay out overlapping slices of honey ham on a cutting board. Depending on the thickness of the ham you made need more to keep everything contained.

- Add the cherry tomatoes on top of the Babybel cheese.
- Squeeze a small amount of honey mustard.

Here are some more yummy ideas from Chef Glenn…
Between Chef Glenn’s suggestions and the amazing lunch boxes we picked up at BJ’s, for the first time since my kids started school I’m not completely dreading our morning routine.
Before you panic and start running all over town looking for school supplies, stocking up on snacks, water bottles and juice boxes, stop at your local BJ’s to find everything you need under one roof.

They do have a lot. Wish we had one closer to us.
BJs is so awesome. We just moved and are a little closer to one – they are great for bargain prices but not necessarily BULK volume.
I have heard so many great things about BJ's Wholesale. Sadly we don't have one local.
I really wish there was a BJ’s in my local area! Sounds like a really awesome place to shop for busy moms like me!
Those sushi are so cute! I'll have to send that in for lunch for my boys!
BJ's is a new way to save for me. I am heading to check them out – I am always looking for ways to save money.
I am also always looking to save money. I will have to make a trip to the one across town.
What a blast you had at BJ’s searching through all the great school items. We don’t have one in this part of Nevada, but I’ll be looking for one when I travel. The thing I enjoy most about the recipe above is that we have these things in the refrigerator or pantry, and it’s a good way to have something convenient to eat while we reduce the amount of bread we’re eating.
It looks like they have a lot of great stuff. The nearest one to us is about an hour away. The ham and cheese sushi rolls look yummy.
Wish we had one in our area. My sister shops there a lot and always raves about it.
I've never been to a BJs before but I really want to go! I would stock up on so many essentials!
I make Turkey and Cheese sushi for my kids and they love it. My sister in law shops twice a month at BJ’s and she says that she saves so much money with her membership compared to shopping in regular supermarkets.
We shop there occasionally. I get good deals when I do shop there.
We love BJ'S!! Always such great finds and deals!
I love BJs. I shop there all the time. Their prices are great, and they have SO MUCH STUFF.
I really need to check out BJ's, I always hear such great things about their stores and we have one about 45 minutes from here. This looks like a delicious idea for school lunch!
Wow! BJ’s looks like the one stop shop for back to school.
What a great way to do your back to school shopping. It's nice that you can get practically everything in the same store.
These are such great ideas! Thank you. And five kids!? You go girl! We can barely get out the door with only two.
These are great lunch ideas. BJ’s Wholesale Club looks like a great place for us to stock up on all my Daughters dorm room needs.
BJ's is my favorite shopping club. They have the best items!
This sounds like a great place. Those ham and cheese rolls are perfect.
I can't believe it's time for back to school already! It seems like summer just started!
Wow, what awesome lunch ideas! BJ's definitely has everything kids need for BTS
It makes back to school so easy when you can get it all in one place. I hate running from store to store.
I have never been to a BJs as we dont have one here. But I have heard so many wonderful things about them. I wish we did have one here.
My second oldest son still loves the little round cheeses. I always pick them up for when he comes to visit.
Oh these are fabulous lunch ideas! I've never been to a BJ's! I need to see if there's one in my area.
I’ve been looking for We Love BJs Password

It looks like BJ's has some great prices on back to school stuff. We don't eat ham but I bet my kids would love turkey and swiss sushi. It's like a little twist on their regular lunch sandwiches.
LOVE BJ's Wholesale. Used to go there all the time when we lived in CT.
Love the lunch ideas. My son HATES sandwiches so I will give these recipes a try.
Awesome ideas. I don't have any kids but I'm going to bring some of these with me to work!!
I haven't been to BJ's before, but it sounds like a great store. Will have to see if there is one near me.
I always shop at BJ's especially for gas. It's so much cheaper than anywhere else!
Mmmm those look really good. My little one has to bring lunch to pre-school every day, and he is a very picky eater. Will have to give these a try!!
My daughter brought me to BJ's the other day and I was so surprised by how much stuff they offer. Didn't realize you could get NORMAL sized items! I will be going back!
