Best Giant Deals - March 30 - April 4

This week Giant has a coupon on the front page of their ad to spend $50.00 and earn an extra 300 Gas Points. It looks like this:

The $50.00 requirement is calculated on your pre-coupon bill. There is also a coupon that you can use to get a free box of Yehuda or Aviv 5 lb. Matzo when you spend $25.00 that looks like this:

Here is a scenario that may interest you:

Buy 16 Capri Sun 10-packs - $2.00 each

and 1 Kraft BBQ Sauce -$1.00

Total $33.00

Use 4 "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" Capri Sun coupons from the 3/18/12 Smart Source insert - Total $25.00

Get $7.00 Instant Savings when you spend $25.00 on specified items

Pay $18.00 out of pocket and have $33.00 credit towards your $50.00 total.

     

I have a few "freebie" coupons that I have been holding on to for a deal like this.

I plan to combine these items with the scenario above to reach a total of $50.00, get my free Matzoh and 300 gas points, and pay $18.00.

If you don't have any "freebie" coupons, remember that 55 cent Mentos gum coupons from the 3/25 Smart Source insert  and the $1.00 off 2 Maruchan Yakisoba coupons from the 3/11/12 Smart Source insert make those items free!

Giant Shopping Trip - Feb 7, 2012

Today I decided to spend $50.00 at Giant in order to use the Bonus 300 Gas Points coupon that I posted about the other day. Only I didn't want to actually spend that much, so I put together a deal with some high value coupons that I had.

 If you use the hand scanner to scan the price of items as you shop you can make sure that you get to the amount you want without going over too far. Here are my dogs Ziggy and Hugger with the items I purchased, which normally would have cost $50.26. (Ziggy is eating a dog treat that she got for posing).

Ziggy and Hugger with their dog food

I used $34.18 worth of coupons and got a discount of $4.36 from Giant because Hershey bars are on sale this week (Buy 2, Get 2 Free). So my total savings came to $38.54, which means my bill was only $11.82 plus $1.75 tax, or $13.57 out of pocket.

I could have spent less, but I really wanted that Chef Boyardee Ravioli!

If you have 2 of the coupons from the Smart Source insert of 1/8/12 to get a free Hershey's Air Delight Aerated Candy Bar free when you buy any Hershey Bar, you can get 4 chocolate bars for free at Giant this week. Two will be free from the store and 2 will be free with your coupon!
