11 Holiday Gift Bargains at Costco, Sam's, and BJ's

Holiday gifts can be bought almost anywhere these days, but Costco, Sam's Club, and BJ's Wholesale Club are some of the best places to stock up. They offer good deals even now that the Black Friday "doorbusters" are done. Cheapism.com checked the three warehouse clubs to scope out money-saving gift-buying opportunities.

Sam's Club sells a five-pack of $10 Cold Stone Creamery gift cards for $40 (essentially offering one free), and the ice cream joint isn't the only choice. Gift cards for Fuddruckers, Steak 'n Shake, and a other eateries are also available. Not a member of Sam's Club? BJ's and Costco offer similar discounts.

Need a gift for a movie fiend? Get a two-pack of AMC "black" movie tickets (they're good anytime and never expire) plus a $10 concessions gift card for $31 at BJ's Wholesale Club. Two tickets bought directly from AMC are $28, but that doesn't include the $10 to blow at the concessions stand.

A four-pack of assorted Godiva chocolates carried at Costco is exclusive to the store, but it's quite a bit cheaper than similar packages sold by the chocolatier. The 27-piece boxes sell for  target="_blank" rel="nofollow"$75 ($18.75 per box) at Costco, while a box of just 19 assorted chocolates is on sale at Godiva for $29, reduced from $32. While the selection is different, the savings will likely taste sweeter.

Kids ages 3 and up who tune into Disney Junior might appreciate this 20-piece toy set, and the warehouse club price is cheap enough parents won't mourn the pieces that get sucked into the vacuum. The collection featuring Disney characters from Doc McStuffins, Lion Guard, and Sofia the First is $42 on Amazon but costs $25 at BJ's.

Give a gift of future fun to a little one (or four) with a four-pack of beary merry gift cards. Although the face value is $25 each, Costco sells the group of cards for $80 (a $20 discount). They can be used on separate occasions, or combined to pay for a party.

Toys R Us sells the Kiddi-o Pole Position Pedal Car for $180, but pump the brakes before you buy. The exact same pedal car is available at BJ's for $120.

Do you have a loved one hoping to find something sparkly under the tree? Don't overlook the warehouse clubs. Costco and Sam's Club have large jewelry selections -- including engagement rings -- at a wide range of prices.

One of these single-serve coffee makers will set you back $150 at Target, but shoppers can pick up a Costco-exclusive version for $125. It includes not only the coffee maker but also a reusable coffee filter and 12 coffee pods.

A hand-held scanner could be the right gift for the person who has everything else, but it pays to shop around. The XYZ Printing 3D Scanner is on sale at Best Buy for $150 but is even cheaper for Sam's Club members, who can pick it up for $128.

An Xbox One S bundle doesn't come cheap anywhere, but it's still possible to save while shopping for the video game lover in your life. At Target, an Xbox One S 500GB "Minecraft" bundle is $300, but it's $230 at Costco.
