Official Giant Eagle Deal Thread (OH, MD, PA, WV) Thread

The Sunday Butler Eagle has a coupon on page A10, save $10 on a $50 purchase. Exp 1/2/13. Excludes the usual scripts, tobacco, milk, gift cards, etc.
The P&G q's are in this paper too.

Might want to check your local paper if you have a GE in the area.

Before I post a deal, a bit off topic: I read on the HCW forum that TerryTerrific has passed away.

over Christmas, I was using the $5/30 Target Q along with the bottom dollar$10 Q and surprisingly had no issues. The cashiers have a barcode at their registers they scan and enter the coupon. I think last week I saw Om lunchables for $1 and wanted to try the TQ for $1/1 lunchable, but never made it there (d/t target and CVS clearance ).

Has anyone tried using the TQs on specific items like this and do they limit you?

I've used the Target q's on individual items and the only limit that I know of is the 12 per day or whatever. I used 12 in one transaction and didn't have any issues,but they were from an insert not an ip, so I don't know if that helped. I think the Target ip's say limit one or something now so ymmv----choose your cashier wisely.

Is this the only Giant Eagle thread? I haven't been on in awhile, but I remember there used to be weekly matchups. Can anyone point me in that direction?

Thanks!!!

This is it.

There's not as much to match up anymore, but I bet if we started getting active here with our knowledge of the competitor coupons we could make some pretty sweet matches. I did the .01 3lb bags of Cat Chow awhile back and there have been random freebies with the RA in-ad coupons. I don't know how many people visit here.

It's been awhile I shopped at GE. So now they are accepting competitor's Qs? Great. Are there any restrictions on what kind of coupons we can use? Like %off or $ off or only item specific Qs?

I can only speak for my stores. There's a policy, but we know different SM's can see it different. At my stores, no %, but they will accept $/$$ from like Dollar General/Target/etc... So if you use the $5/$25 for Dollar General and have a friendly store than you might be able to use individual competitor coupons or the store might refuse them. I try to keep them small and simple.

You might want to start with the coupon policy/competitor coupon policy, but you'll still have to find out how your stores really are. So far I've been impressed, but just can't find enough hours in the day to add them into my weekly shopping pattern, but for the great deals like .01 cat food---I make the time.

You still need to adhere to the 12 like coupons, no ip's over $5, etc.......unless of course your store has different rules.

I think many of us stooped shopping at GE since we got better deals elsewhere. I remember the free HN hot dogs and many other great deals in the past. The prices are so high at GE, it was not worth shopping even with Qs. I shop at the Boardman-Poland GE and they were nasty when it came to coupons. I had a coordinator grab a rain check from my hand and said the manager wrote it up wrong I took my business elsewhere. I recently started using competitors coupons- had a $5/any Tide HE Q from Lowes and no one knew what to do - could it be used..blah blah blah; however the new manager was great and said absolutely it's Ok. so slowly- starting back up..but cherry picking for now

I have been using the bottom dollar $10 Qs and combining with target Q x/xx. Be on the lookout - just received a $5 /25 mailer q from save-A-lot.

Betty Crocker fruit snacks are 4/8.00 get and instant $4.00 off. Use two .75 off of 2 coupons from last week and they net out to 4/1.00. You can do multiples in one order.

Where is the Bottom Dollar q from? Is there a new Target $/$$? The one I had expired Christmas Eve I believe.

I definitely cherry pick the deals. Like the Reach toothbrushes in the summer. Best GE mm ever----even better tha the $4 Sinex deals of 2-3 years ago.

It probably would be good to start using this thread a bit because the competitor coupons really open the door to deals we haven't had in the past 12-18 months. At first not all stores participated, but now I believe it's supposed to be all of them. (ymmv at independents)

Thank you both.
