Sam's back, BJ's stacks, Costco waits: June 9–15 warehouse scorecard

If you've been checking Costco's savings page this week expecting the new coupon book, you're not alone — and you've been getting "Check Back Soon." Here's the situation: the "June 8–July 5" book circulating online is the Canadian flyer, not a US book. The US Member-Only Savings book runs June 15–July 19 and doesn't activate until Sunday. 1

That structural gap changes the math for this week entirely. Sam's Club's new Instant Savings Book (ISB) — Sam's monthly savings program where discounts auto-apply at checkout — launched 49 deals across grocery, household, health & beauty, outdoor, and more, going live today, June 10, after a 9-day gap week. 2 BJ's Wholesale Club (the East Coast-focused warehouse chain that competes directly with Costco and Sam's) abandoned the physical coupon book entirely in favor of app-only digital coupons — stackable with manufacturer coupons, no book-launch timing to wait for. 3

Short version for the time-pressed: Sam's or BJ's this week. Costco on Sunday.

The r/Costco community's reaction to the incoming book — 921 upvotes and broadly positive, especially for Liquid I.V. and Bounty:

Category breakdown

Food and beverages

Sam's wins on both verifiable price data and breadth. An Allrecipes price comparison across five heat-and-eat dinner types in Dallas put Sam's at $25.42/lb (cart total), compared to Costco's $26.95/lb and BJ's $31.04/lb — four of the five individual items were cheapest at Sam's. 5

The ISB grocery lineup leans heavily summer-party: Bush's Baked Beans 8-pack goes from $11.48 to $9.48 ($2 off), 2 and Nestlé Drumstick Ice Cream Cones 16-count drop to $7.46 ($3 off, 29% off). 2 Kraft Mac & Cheese 18-pack (7.25 oz boxes) falls to $10.96 ($4 off, 27% off) — the 18-pack is fine for families but a lot for a household of 1–2; consider splitting a box with a neighbor. 2

On beverages, Bai Coconut Water 15-pk (18 oz) at $14.98 ($5 off, 25%) is the strongest percentage-off drink deal this week. 2 Celsius On The Go Sticks 30-pack: $12.98 ($4 off). 2

Over at BJ's, Cape Cod Kettle Chips 28 oz clocks in at $4.49 (down 35% from $6.99) — solid barbecue snack without locking you into a Costco-scale bag. 6 Ball Park Beef Hot Dogs 24-ct: $7.99 after a $3 digital coupon clip (through June 14). 6

Costco's active food items this week are four short-run flash deals (Kirkland USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye at $15.99/lb, Kirkland Raw Shrimp starting at $5.99/lb), valid June 8–14 only. 7 The ribeye is genuinely competitive if you catch it today or tomorrow.

Household consumables

Sam's leads on laundry and dish this week with confirmed full pricing.

Tide Liquid Laundry 128 oz (100 loads): $15.48 ($4 off, $0.15/load) 2
Finish Quantum Dishwasher Tablets 90-ct: $16.98 ($5 off, $0.19/load) 2
Dawn Platinum Dish Soap 3-pack (61.5 oz total): $7.98 ($2 off) 2
Scott 1000 Toilet Paper 45-roll (4,896 sq ft): $25.48 ($5 off, $0.05/sq ft) 2

The Scott 45-roll and Snuggle Fabric Softener 176 oz (259 loads) at $9.98 are large-format buys that make sense for households of 3+ or anyone with storage. Single/couple households: the Dawn 3-pack and Finish 90-ct are genuinely usable quantities.

BJ's counters with coupon stacking on scent boosters: Downy or Gain Scent Booster Beads (34–39.9 oz) can combine a $6 BJ's app coupon on two units with a $2 manufacturer coupon on one Downy unit — two-layer savings with no price floor on the final price published. 3 Berkley Jensen Scrub Sponges 27-ct stack a $2 BJ's digital + $1.50 manufacturer coupon. 3

Costco's paper and cleaning deals (Bounty Advanced 12-roll $5.60 off, Tide Pods $5 off, Lysol Wipes 4-pack $10.99) don't activate until June 15. 1 Wait for Sunday if you can.

Health and beauty

Sam's wins this week on H&B breadth: 11 confirmed or likely deals launched today.

Dove Men+Care Bar Soap 14-ct (3.75 oz bars): $11.98 ($3.50 off, 23% off) 2
Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste 5-pack (5.8 oz): $11.98 ($4 off, 25% off) 2
MONDAY Haircare Smooth Shampoo + Conditioner set 68 oz total: $16.87 ($5 off, 23% off) 2
Member's Mark Sunscreen SPF 50 Spray 3-pack (9.1 oz each): $13.67 ($3 off) 2
OLAY Niacinamide Moisturizer: $8 off, limit 3 — final price unconfirmed at publication time 8

On the Costco side, Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer (-$5), Neutrogena Hydroboost 2-pack ($21.99), and a wide OTC supplement lineup (Advil -$5, Tylenol Rapid Release -$4.50) all activate June 15. 1 BJ's Optical runs BOGO eyeglasses (in-club) and 30% off Rx frames through June 14 — that window closes Saturday. 9

Electronics and kitchen

BJ's digital-coupon model means its stacking deals are live every single day — no book-drop to wait for. The official BJ's Summer Event is running through June 15:

Electronics is Costco's strongest suit, and this category is worth waiting until June 15 for. The incoming book includes TCL 65-inch TV at $529.99, Samsung 55-inch TV at $399.99, Dyson V15 at -$220, and an appliance bundle deal (Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Electrolux) saving $100 per 2 appliances and $200 per 3, with delivery and installation. 1

Sam's scores two solid summer crossovers: the Shark ChillPill 2-in-1 rechargeable handheld fan with dry mist cooling drops to $99.98 ($30 off $129.98) and is available right now through July 5. 10 The Samsonite Lineate XLT 2-piece hardside luggage set is $159 ($40 off $199). 10

Tires

BJ's wins tires this week — and it's not particularly close.

Chain	Deal	Value
BJ's	Cooper Endeavor / Kelly tires: buy 3, get 1 free	25% off the set
BJ's	Michelin + installation	$160 off
BJ's	Goodyear + installation	$160 off
BJ's	All tire purchases	3× Rewards points
Costco	4 tires	$80 off (activates June 15)

BJ's is running promotions across 10 tire brands (Michelin, BFGoodrich, Goodyear, Nexen, Uniroyal, Kelly, Firestone, Cooper, Hankook, Sumitomo) simultaneously. 4 Costco's $80-off-four deal activates Sunday and covers its warehouse tire center — worth comparing against BJ's at that point, especially for Michelin buyers where BJ's $160-off stacks with installation. 1 Sam's has no verified tire promotion this cycle.

Travel and gas

Costco Travel dominates this category as the only chain offering full-package vacation bundles (flights + hotel + member extras). Sixteen hot-buy packages are live right now: the Puerto Rico Sheraton deal (value: $220 in extras) expires Thursday, June 12; multiple Caribbean and European packages run through June 14–30. 11 Sam's Club provides hotel bookings and Go City attraction passes (e.g., the Paris All-Inclusive Pass covering 55+ sights), but no bundled flight+hotel+extras packages at this level. BJ's Travel (travel.bjs.com) centers on cruise discounts — members can save up to $1,000 on select Royal Caribbean sailings.

On gas, the national AAA average sat at $4.16/gallon as of June 8. 12 Warehouse club stations typically run 10–30 cents below local market prices, with Sam's Club in Florida running $3.56/gallon (35 cents below the state AAA average of $3.91). 12 Sam's Plus members with a Sam's Club MasterCard can stack additional cash back on top of the pump price. BJ's Perks Plus members get a standard 5–10 cents/gallon discount, with the potential for further stack-savings via the BJ's MasterCard. 12

Cherry-picker's route: June 9–15

Go to Sam's Club first. The ISB just launched and the floor is fully stocked. Confirmed grab list:

Bai Coconut Water 15-pk → $14.98
Tide Liquid 128 oz → $15.48
Finish Quantum 90-ct → $16.98
Nestlé Drumstick Cones 16-ct → $7.46 (households of 1–2: fine quantity)
Dove Men+Care Soap 14-ct → $11.98 (1–2 person household: 14 bars lasts months)
MONDAY Haircare 68 oz set → $16.87
Shark ChillPill fan → $99.98

Then BJ's (or the app) for tires, Optical BOGO through Saturday, or coupon-stacking on Downy and Berkley Jensen sponges. Stack the BJ's Summer Event coupon (up to $50 back) on the same trip. 13

Hold on Costco for electronics, Bounty, and supplements — activates Sunday June 15.

Membership math

Membership	Annual fee	Upgrade tier	Break-even (upgrade)	Current promo
Sam's Club	$60/yr (Club)	Plus $120/yr	~$3,000/yr spend	$25 Club / $55 Plus — expires June 15
BJ's Wholesale	$60/yr (Club Card)	Perks Plus $120/yr	~$3,000/yr spend	$14–$20/yr via third-party (StackSocial/MarketWatch) — expires July 6
Costco	$65/yr (Gold Star)	Executive $130/yr	~$3,250/yr spend (Executive)	$20 digital gift card for new Gold Star members

Sam's Club $25 promotion closes in 6 days (June 15). This applies to new members and anyone lapsed more than 6 months. 14 Sam's Plus at $55 (regular $120) is hard to beat for anyone who spends more than $500/year on groceries and household goods — the 2% Sam's Cash alone covers the fee before you hit $3,000 in spend.

The BJ's Perks Plus (BJ's premium tier at $120/yr, which includes 2% rewards and a 5-cent/gallon gas discount) break-even is around $3,000/year in spend — similar to Sam's Plus. Third-party channels currently offer a BJ's Club Card membership for $14–$20/year: MyBJsWholesale cites $14 via StackSocial through July 6, while MarketWatch reported $20 via the same channel in late May. 15 Either way, the lowest-ever entry price into the coupon-stacking model — verify the current rate before checkout.

One more forward note: June 17–26, Sam's Club in-store locations will offer a Club membership for $8 — the lowest price since 2022. Useful for anyone who wants to add Sam's Club access just in time for the rest of the ISB run.

Next week: Costco unlocks June 15

Costco June–July 2026 Member-Only Savings book cover showing Bounty, Ninja CRISPi, Liquid I.V., Archer beef sticks, and appliance deals — Costco US Member-Only Savings book activates Sunday, June 15 — valid through July 19. 1

The June 15–July 19 book covers 125+ items. Headline items to prioritize on Sunday:

Bounty Advanced 12-roll: -$5.60
Liquid I.V. (including sugar-free): $20.99 (-$8)
Dyson V15: -$220
Tide Pods: -$5 (compare with Sam's Tide Liquid at $0.15/load)
4 tires: -$80 (compare with BJ's $160 off Michelin at that point)
T-Mobile switch: save $450

Sam's ISB runs through July 5, BJ's digital coupons roll continuously — so June 15 is when real three-way competition kicks in. For this week, the score stands: Sam's Club and BJ's 1, Costco 0.
