Hot Deal on Cereal and Milk at Giant

So in addition to the reasons mentioned in the previous post, I had a great deal at Giant this week that re-sparked my excitement and I wanted to share with everyone.

I took 3 trips to the store to gather all that cereal. Here's how the deal works: Buy 4 boxes of GM cereals, get $6.00 off instantly. Also, you get a coupon for a free Gallon of milk (coupon is worth $4.50 to cover pretty much all milks) on your next purchase. There are coupons on coupons.com and smartsource right now for various GM cereals (remember that most Giant's will double only 1 of each coupon per transaction) to help lower the costs.

Added bonus, if you look at the Lucky Charms boxes on the left there, the top box says "FREE MOVIE TICKET" if you purchase two boxes. I have seen reports online of many varieties of cereal that have that deal printed on it, but in the two stores I visited I only found Lucky Charms boxes with the deal.

So here are the transactions I've completed thus far:

Giant Coupons

There are a few new coupons on Giant's website

$5 off $50 Purchase

300 Gas Points with $50 Purchase

I'm not sure if you can use these together or not, but the 300 points would be better if you get 17 gallons of gas or more when you redeem your points.

Both coupons expire on 12/19

Giant week of 11/29

For the Mommas has this week's Giant matchups. Unfortunately for my LV readers, our Giants are not included in the expansion of the coupon policy. Hopefully soon!

Giant Deals

Redners Deals

Wegmans Deals

Target Deals

Belated Grocery Post

Busy weekend with Grandparents Day and Football kickoff (stupid Buffalo and stupid Tom Brady), couple that with a real lack of need to shop this week, and that all conspired to delay posting of Grocery Deals. So without further delay, here they are:

Redners deals - From For the Mommas

Giant (PA) deals - From Moms Need to Know
- Giant Brand Chunk or Shredded Cheese is BOGO
- Soups are starting to go on sale...

Wegmans Deals - From Frugal in Virginia
- Still has good prices on Green Seedless Grapes ($0.99), 90% Meat ($1.99) and boneless Chicken ($1.97)

Wal-mart Deals - From Common Sense With Money

For the Mommas has listed the coupon matchups at Giant for the week.

Here are some of the deals I've spotted...

Pepsi 12pks 5/$11
Giant Burger and Hotdog Rolls 10/$10
Giant Cheese Slices $0.99
Apples $0.99/lb
Peaches $0.99/lb
Giant Light Yogurt 3/$0.99 <-- Really good price!! Hamburger, Chicken, or Tuna Helper 10/$10 Stouffer's Red Box 5/$10 Giant Hotdogs 2/$4 Oscar Mayer Hotdogs BOGO (should be approx 2/$4.49) Coke 2lts 10/$10 Vitamin Water 10/$10 Pillsbury Cake Mix 10/$10 Betty Crock Boxed Potatoes 4/$5 <-- Part of the "Buy 6, Save 20 cents on gas" Promo, so becomes a good deal if there are others in that group you want/need and you will redeem the gas points buy next weekend. See anything I missed? Mark up the comments. Also, if you haven't signed up for Giant's website I recommend it. They send you a weekly email with "deals" that are based on stuff you've purchased in the past and sometimes have coupons in the email. They also total your yearly savings on the site and other things like that. Check it out here to sign up.

Giant Coupon and Diaper Sample

Just a quick post to point out a sample of Huggies from Wal-Mart (we are Pampers folks, but Free is Free). Also click here to find a coupon for $2.00 off a $5.00 meat purchase at Giant and $1.00 off Festingos Chips from Giant.

Giant (PA) Foodstore Ad

Moms Need to Know is one of the few sites I've seen that actually covers in detail our local Giant chain (there is another Giant food store chain, I believe it is in Maryland and south of there, but I'm not sure). So check her out and see some of the matchups. But a few things to keep in mind. She seems to have been getting a slightly different ad lately, as it seems Giant is starting to slightly regionalize their ads. Also where she is, they regularly double coupons up to $0.99, whereas our local Giants only double up to $0.50.

This seems to be an issue we have in the LV with our food stores only doubling $0.50 to a total of $1.00. So a $.75 off coupon is only worth $1.00 here instead of being worth $1.50 there.

So here's the list of things that caught my eye in today's circular, but keep in mind if it's things we don't use in our family I might not notice how good a deal it is.

Sweet Corn 12/$2
Cantaloupe 2/$3
Pepsi 12pks 5/$11 (MUST BUY 5)
Strawberries $2.49/lb
Giant Brand Pasta (Elbows, Spaghetti or Ziti) $0.79
Kraft BBQ Sauce 10 for $10
Giant Italian Bread or Rolls 10 for $10
Kraft Singles 2/$4
Stroehmann Bread BOGO
San Giorgio Pasta 10 for $10
Knorr Lipton Sides 10 for $10
Wacky Mac 10 for $10
Dannon Yogurt 10/$5
International Delight Flavored Creamer $0.99
Lays or Doritos Chips 4/$8 (MUST BUY 4)
Perdue Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast BOGO
Tastykake Family Packs 5/$10 (MUST BUY 5)
