Being vegan isn’t just great for your body; it’s also great for your bank account. Healthy staples like beans, lentils, tofu, grains, and fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables are among the most wallet-friendly foods to purchase. Big-box retailers make it even easier to eat well on the cheap, often offering deep discounts on traditional grocery store prices. To help you save some green while going green, here are some of our favorite vegan finds at BJ’s Wholesale Club, which has more than 260 locations in 21 states.
Fresh, Frozen, and Canned Produce
Eat the rainbow with steals on generous packages of bananas, apples, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, asparagus, pears, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, cucumbers, potatoes, spinach, kale, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, avocadoes, dates, and more. You’ll also find pre-blended smoothies, several varieties of bagged salads, and frozen fruit medleys in sizes that will keep your overnight oats or acai bowls topped for a month.
For tasty plant-powered breakfasts, top Sambazon Acai Banana Acai Bowls with Wellsley Farms Organic Mixed Fruit Blend, Wellsley Farms Organic Chia Seeds, and Quaker Oats Quick 1-Minute Oats, and pour a glass of Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness 100% Fruit Juice Smoothie.

Look for frozen vegetable blends that are perfect for stir-fries, pot pies, or veggie fried rice. Smart Harvest’s Organic Grilled Mediterranean Blend or Grilled Summer Blend are sheet-pan dinners or kebabs in a bag for under $10. And you can’t beat the convenience of a can, especially when tossing beans into tacos, soups, or casseroles. BJ’s offers a wide variety of canned produce, along with jars of marinated artichoke hearts and mushrooms, and a revolving section for vegan soups from brands like Amy’s and Progresso.
Pantry Staples
Stocking up on everyday items at bulk discount stores can save a bundle in the long run. Peruse the coupons on the BJ’s app to save even more on dried legumes and grains, tortillas, mixed nuts, peanut butter and jam, herbs and spices, baking needs, and condiments. You’ll find vegan pastas from Banza and Barilla, dressings like Wish-Bone’s Italian and Virginia Brand’s Vidalia Onion Vinegarette, crackers including Triscuit Originals and Crunchmaster Multi-Grain, Dave’s Killer Bread, and Purely Elizabeth’s Cinnamon Raisin Almond Superfood Cereal.
Dairy-Free Essentials
No one needs to steal milk from moms, but BJ’s has plant milks covered with almond options from Silk, Almond Breeze, and its own Wellsley Farms brand, Planet Oat’s Oatmilk and coffee creamer, Califia Farms’ Coconut Almond, and Starbucks’ Coconut Strawberry. And don’t worry about getting through the sizable containers in time: Another bonus to plant milks is that they last much longer than bovine mammary secretions. While you’re in the dairy aisle, grab buttery spreads from brands like Country Crock and Smart Balance and savory cheeses courtesy of Violife.
Hearty Meat-Free Meals
Consider dinner done. BJ’s carries popular meal-starters like Beyond Meat’s Burgers, Sausages, Steak Tips, and Skillet Meals, and, of course, versatile tofu.

Desserts and Sweets
Vegan sweet tooths will find plenty to make mouths water in the candy aisle at prices that will ease the guilt. Our favorites are Unreal’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Dark Chocolate Coconut Minis, Bear Real Fruit Snack Rolls, Dum Dums Lollipops, Sour Patch Kids, Airheads, Charms Blow Pops, and Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip. Don’t forget to pop by the freezer section for dairy-free popsicles and fruit sorbets.
