IMPORTANT!
For many VG’s locations, coupons now double only up to $0.50. Affected stores include: Fenton, Waterford, Pontiac, North Fenton, Shelby, Brighton, Marine City & Sterling Heights. Look for policy information in your store (as it’s not included in the weekly ad).
You’ll need to sign up for the VG’s Yes Rewards Program in the store, then register your card online. With the card, you’ll collect points (displayed on the bottom of your receipt) with each purchase that can be redeemed on various items each month. The Yes Card is required to receive advertised sale prices at VG’s.
These matchups are based on prices advertised in Shelby Township and Sterling Heights stores. Please compare them with your store’s ad before shopping.

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 will NOT double, but they could stretch your savings on Spartan brands 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 participating group and submit your receipts. Trinity Lutheran Church in Utica uses the Community Share Program to purchase socks for the homeless. You can leave your receipts at the front desk there if you can’t find another organization.
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!

Joyln, Do you think it is efficient for you to still post the VG’s list since they seem to be very high in price on the items they sell if they no longer accept doubles up to $1.00 ?
I seem to find that VG’s if very high on prices for the items they sell compared to the others around my area.
Ashley C says
Jolyn, I just want to take the time to thank you for your hard work and for continuing to post VG’s matchups. I live in Caro where our VG’s still doubles up to $1. I love your site and how you do your matchups. I tell everyone who asks me about couponing about your site! Thank you for making couponing easy for us in the Thumb!
Kati says
I agree with Ashley! =)
Kori says
I also agree with Ashley! My VG’s still doubles up to $1. I greatly appreciate the VG’s matchups! =)
Kimmy says
Thanks you for continuing to include VG’s in your postings. My store doubles to $1 and I was able to get Eggo waffles for .79, free Land-o-lakes butter, not to mention a good deal on hamburger. My favorite deal was finding Mann’s veggies on sale for $1.49 and finding an old internet coupon for .55 which means I scored 2 bags for .40 each!!! Thanks so much!!
Heather says
Is there a sale on Land-o-lakes butter this week too? Didn’t see it in the ad…
Nikki says
The one I used to go to (Fenton) no longer doubles to $1 but Flint still does and that’s not too far for me to go….I check the site to see what the deals are to see if it’s worth the trip to Flint. Thanks for continuing to post the deals!
VANESSA says
You can delete VG’s. Who wants to just give them money for being extremely expensive. I’d rather give my extra money to the Humane Society. I love animials!!!
Ashley C says
I don’t understand. If people don’t like VG’s then why are they still looking at the matchups? If they are so expensive then why waste the time looking at them if you already know that you are not going to go shopping there. I feel sorry for the people that used to go to VG’s because of the $1 doubling and their store no longer does them, but there are still several of us that do still like VG’s and continue shopping there. It has been over a month since some stores have switched so personally I think it is time to get over it and accept it, or do something about it and contact corporate. Thank you
Stacey says
LOL – you read my mind, Ashley C! 🙂 My spending habits might be a bit different now, but I still enjoy shopping there.
Jason R says
There is a $0.75/1 Smuckers Jam coupon on Coupons.com (90210). This makes it free.
Kimmy says
Thanks Jason!!!
karen says
thanks jolyn for continuing the vgs matchupos! howell still doubles to $1!!
Erin says
Davison and Flint stores also still double up to $1 so yes, I am still checking this all week long!
Jill says
The VG’s I use still doubles to $!. I use this site every few days to check on the deals!
Jen says
Watch out on the Delmonte veggies deal, only certain varieties are included in the buy 10 get 3 – at the Howell store today the cut green beans were not ringing up at sales price, and neither were the carrots. What’s weird is, carrots rung up at reg price $1.29, so I asked her to remove them and I would get something else instead – when she removed them, it removed them at the sales price. She added them back, and they went back on at the sales price. Also, the $3.00 only came off once and I bought 30 cans – and it’s not a limit thing, because it didn’t even come off until 20 cans were rung up.
Customer service was awesome, even though it took forever. They refunded me the .54 on the 9 cans that didn’t ring correctly, gave me the $6 that it didn’t take off ($3 x 2), PLUS gave me 2 (yes 2) $5.00 scanning error bonuses, because she considered the beans and carrots 2 different items, and the reward for scanning errors is on each item.
Needless to say, I was delighted to receive over $20 back from them, and my entire order was only $30 to begin with.
I live no where near a VG’s, but I hit them when I visit friends and go up north – so I appreciate the work you do on the matchups too, THANK YOU.

Flint, MI area. Ad is showing Hot Pockets on sale for $2.00.
Below is a smartsouce link for a Hot Pockets coupon for $1.00/2. If your store still doubles up to a $1.00, this could be a good deal for you!

Merri says
I’ve always relied on your matchups for VG’s Jolyn, both before and during “double dollars.” I still check in regularly and appreciate that you’re still doing matchups. (I shop the Howell store.)
stacey says
Dannon Danimals Smoothies & Coolisions are included in the $2.00 sale — so they’re only $1.00 after the $0.50/1 coupon (8-14 SS).
Old El Paso taco seasoning is $0.99 regular price, so it’s FREE with the $0.50/1 printable.
And – they’ve updated the coupon policy, new copies are posted (at least at the Shelby store). I scanned it quickly; one notable change I saw was that they will now accept manufacturer coupons from other stores, as long as it doesn’t say “redeem ONLY at XXX.”
Jolyn says
Thanks, Stacey!
Vickie says
I just want to say thank you Jolyn for doing VG’s matchups! I hope that everyone remembers that just because they are upset at the policy changes for some stores, doesn’t automatically mean that everyone else is feeling the same… for some of us, this is the ONLY store within a 30 mile radius good for couponing and we would love to see the matchups continue if feasible! Doing my coupon matchups for this week as we speak!
chuck says
Our VG’s closed in new baltimore – where is the next closest one?
Eric says
I agree just because other people are telling you to stop posting Vg Match up’s doesn’t mean that everyone feels that way. Kroger has stopped doubling up to 1.00 in a lot of their stores and also just and FYI fact, as soon as the New Baltimore Vg’s Closed, Kroger prices in New Baltimore went up big time. They are expensive enough as it is. Vg’s isn’t bad if you use coupons and buy the stuff on sale. Look at the stuff at Kroger or Meijer that is just as high and even if Kroger is 2 cents cheaper so what! I’ll still go to Vg’s to avoid massive lines that Kroger or Meijer have. If you don’t like shopping at Vg’s then quit posting and telling her to stop the weekly match ups. Go move on to supporting nationwide stores. I support Michigan brands and Michigan companies.
