Sorry I’m late with this Giant deal–recap

There are still 1.5 days left to do the frozen food deal at Giant. Check the current ad, it’s buy $25, get $10. Ad lists items participating.

First, I did have a local friend say that she ran into a glitch this morning and her catalina only printed for $5, not $10. Not sure what happened, but the CS counter fixed it for her.

But here’s what you can do, hopefully you have enough decent coupons & some freezer space:

1st transaction: $25 worth, use sale prices, minus coupons, pay & get $10 back

2nd, 3rd & 4th transaction-use the $10 catalina to help pay for whatever your balance is after coupons. This catalina will roll.

*But* (and here’s the part where I guess I wasn’t paying attention)-once you spend $100 cumulatively on frozen foods, you will get a $25 catalina.

Assuming you’ve kept your transactions as close to the $25 mark as you can, you’ve spent $100.
Got back four $10 catalinas, plus one $25 catalina, for a total of $65 off $100. And that’s if you don’t use any mfr coupons!

No matchups, since they don’t take coupons! But the Snyder’s pretzel pieces & V8 Splash are a good price. I don’t know that I ‘d make a special trip, but I will be there Saturday anyway, since I’m going to the McDonald’s.
