How would you like to save 65% on select Frozen Foods this week and not use a single coupon? (of course, if you have coupons for any other these items, your savings would be even more). I did a quick run to Giant this morning and I can confirm that the “Save $10 On Your Next Order When You Buy $25” Frozen Food Promo IS Overlapping with the month-long “Save $25 OYNO when you buy $100″ promo!
** please note: the “Save $10 when you buy $25” promo this week is working on your BEFORE-coupon price. The “Save $25 OYNO when you buy $100” promo works on the AFTER-coupon price”**
So let’s say that you have NO coupons for the items in the Frozen Food Promo this week AND you haven’t accumulated any points towards the month-long Frozen Food promo? You can STILL pay just $35 for $100 worth of food, after Catalinas! If you have already accumulated points or DO have coupons, the 65% is your minimum savings! Pretty sweet, if you ask me!
Here’s how:
Transaction #1:
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Pay $25 and receive a $10 Catalina
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Pay $25 and receive a $10 Catalina
Transaction #2:
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #1
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #1
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina
Transaction #3:
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #2
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #2
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina
Transaction #4:
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #3
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina AND Receive a $25 Catalina for reaching the $100
Purchase exactly $25 worth of frozen food from the weekly promo
Hand the cashier the $10 catalina that you received in transaction #3
Pay $15 and receive a $10 Catalina AND Receive a $25 Catalina for reaching the $100
Final totals: You have pulled $70 out of your wallet ($25 + $15 + $15 + $15) and are leaving the store with $35 in Catalinas that can be used on your next shopping trip (or towards the rest of your groceries that week…just make them Transaction #5!). It’s like getting $100 in frozen foods for only $35!
Now – I know that I said that the month-long promo was based on the AFTER-coupon price, but I went to Giant this morning, and I DID get credit towards that promo when I used my Catalinas! The photo below is of my second transaction (I already had some frozen food points accumulated). I paid $13 out-of-pocket for that transaction (after Catalina) and, as you can see, I only got 13 Gas Points, but I DID get the full 25 (26) Frozen Food points for the monthly promo.
So although the weekly promo isn’t that good for coupons, if you have the freezer space, you can really get significant savings, even WITHOUT coupons!
So get to Double-dipping those promos! And be sure to share your scenarios (with or WITHOUT coupons) in the comments!
