VG’s SHOPPING TIPS

VG’s offers a $0.05 reusable bag credit per bag you bring. You may have to remind your cashier, however, as the credit is not automatic.

You’ll find printable Spartan coupons at the Turn to Spartan website. You’ll need to register first. Coupons are limited to 1 per family and will NOT double, but they could stretch your savings even further.

Save your receipts – as part of VG’s Community Share Program, they can benefit non-profit groups in Michigan. You don’t need to sign up; simply find a group collecting receipts and turn yours in to them. Trinity Lutheran Church in Utica (45160 Van Dyke at Hall Rd) collects VG’s receipts to purchase socks for the homeless. You can leave your receipts at the front desk there if you can’t find another participating group.

Visit the Meat Department and hunt for the yellow rectangular markdown tags. VG’s routinely offers 50% off soon-to-expire meat; most packages are good cuts of meat with no sign of aging and won’t expire for 2 more days, which allows plenty of time for cooking or freezing.

Shopping with Kids? Stop by the customer service desk and sign them up for the Zoo Crew Kids’ Club. They’ll receive special treats, including a cookie from the bakery when they visit!

    I am not seeing the $1 off 5 green giant veggies coupon in any of the GM inserts. Anyone else finding them?? Thanks!

  2. kathy says

    January 3, 2011 at 4:06 PM

    There’s a $1/1 Buitoni in yesterdays coupon inserts too…not sure which one because I already cut it out

  3. Liz says

    January 3, 2011 at 4:16 PM

    There is a $1/1 Bestlife Buttery Spread in yesterday’s coupon inserts.
    It’s also on sale for $1.49, making it free after the coupon has doubled 🙂

    I stumbled across a 50% off sale of loreal kids shampoo, and paired it with the .75 cent coupon (RP 10-24) making it cost about .20 cents! Oh, and the milk at our VG’s (Waterford) is 2.79, not 1.99 🙂

  5. heather says

    January 3, 2011 at 11:05 PM

    The $1/1 Buitoni coupon is in one of the SS inserts. In my paper (Freep), it was the thinner insert, on the inside front page.

  8. julie says

    January 4, 2011 at 2:05 PM

    the cuties coupon does double at the self checkout making them 2.99 for the 5 pound box. Great deal.

    January 4, 2011 at 8:48 PM

    Just a heads-up… I tried the General Meals cat deal today, but the cat that printed says “Save $5.00 on SCHOOL SUPPLIES, compliments of General Mills.” Pretty disappointing to say the least! 🙁

    And a couple regular prices have been raised (in Shelby at least) — $1.49 for the Mahatma rice and $2.29 for milk.

    On good note, though — the Fast Shake pancake mix is on sale for $1.09 (through 1/30); use the $2/2 here to get 2 for $0.18: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=xg&tqnm=zlfhcxy69054690&o=79830&c=LC&p=rBCnb7Ef

    And the regular price of Krusteaz cookie mix is $2.39, still not too bad at $0.39 after the $1/1 coupon.

      That’s a terrible GM Cat! I’m sorry – I didn’t see anything like that posted in the ad!

    • Kristen says

      January 5, 2011 at 10:47 AM

      Just curious…does the CAT have to be used at VG’s? Target had some school supplies on sale for second semester college students. That sale ends on Saturday.

      • Stacey says

        January 6, 2011 at 11:07 AM

        It’s a VG’s-logoed manufacturer coupon Cat, so I suppose it depends on your Target store’s policy. I’ve never tried using coupons w/other store logos at Target, as most stores balk at it.

        • Kristen says

          January 6, 2011 at 5:38 PM

          You’re right…they do. Thought it might be worth a shot! Hopefully, you find use for the CAT at least…such a bummer!

  10. Judy says

    January 5, 2011 at 3:25 PM

    I was just going to post about the CAT at VG’s and you beat me to it. Figures you posted your findings right after I was on the site and had just left 🙁

    • Jolyn says

      January 5, 2011 at 3:44 PM

      Sorry – I wish the ad would have been clear about the Catalina. 🙁

  11. Lira says

    January 6, 2011 at 2:39 PM

    I am still not finding the Mahatma White Rice. I’ve been looking for this for weeks and nothing at the Waterford VG’s.

    • Heather says

      January 7, 2011 at 8:17 AM

      Same in Howell – I have never found it (probably looked for 2 months)

  12. kathy says

    January 6, 2011 at 3:21 PM

    Success Rice Boil in Bag (4 packs) Reg 2.59 – 1.00/1 All You December = .59
    Muellers Whole Wheat Pasta Reg $1.59 – .551/ (1/2/11) = .49
    Smuckers Sugar Free Jam $2.99 – $1/1 coupons.com? = .99

  13. Angie says

    January 7, 2011 at 9:01 AM

    VG’s in Waterford Has Garnier Shampoo/conditioner 2/$6 right now. If you use your internet coupon (ss ?) you can get $1.00 off 1 OR $1.00 off 2 –so doubled you pay $1.00-$2.00 per bottle depending on your coupon.

  14. jules says

    January 7, 2011 at 9:08 PM

    Today I bought McCormick Chili Powder ($1.79 regular price) and McCormick Garlic Salt ($2.39 regular price), used (2) $.75/1 coupons (from inserts, can’t remember which one) and got a Catalina for $1.50 off next shopping order, making them a small $.32 money maker.

    The Catalina says:
    “Buy McCormick Red Cap Herbs, Spices, or Black Pepper between 1/2/11 & 1/30/11 – Buy (2) & get $1.50 or Buy (3) or more & get $2.50 coupon off your next shopping order. All items must be purchased in one shopping order.”

  15. jules says

    January 7, 2011 at 9:25 PM

    Oh! also, Maxwell House International Cafe coffees were on sale for $2.99 each – some of them have peelie coupon books attached with approximately 8 coupons in them, one of those coupons is a $1/2 MH International Cafe, making them $1.99 each, and $1/1 CapriSun 100% Naturals ($2.99 regular price) making those $.99 each, which is a great deal on both of those!

    🙂

  16. Kristen says

    January 8, 2011 at 11:38 AM

    No luck printing the Oreo with Milk coupon – said that the campaign is over, the Nestle Morsel Coupon and the Ready to Bake Cookies coupon – said the coupon is unavailable, the Simply Lemonade or Limeade coupon – said the campaign is over 🙁 My procrastination finally caught up with me…

    • Jolyn says

      January 8, 2011 at 12:05 PM

      Sorry about that – I’ve had the same problem It’s always best to print early in the week if you can find the time…
