Doubler Coupons at Giant - Deals, AND Report from the Field

Reader Amy gave us the scoop with her comment - thank you! - and I saw them in my paper's ad today. The Giant ad has dollar doubler coupons!

Nevertheless if the $1/1 doubles with a doubler, you'll get $2 off the entree, plus a free side dish.

================================

Whew! Clearly I need to plan my next trip to use my doublers. But, I already made one trip today. I filled my cart with the King David Matzos - it's a big ginormous club-sized pack of 5 1-lb. boxes shrink-wrapped - retails $9.99. I also bought a large piece of corned beef @$5.19, and $15.45 worth of Nature's Promise products.

SO:

$9.99
$5.19
$15.45
--------
Subtotal: $30.63 + tax

Subtracted: $5 Catalina from last week's Edy's deal, FREEBIE coupon for the Matzo from Giant ad.

Paid: a little over $16

What did I learn from this? For one, the matzo coupon does not preclude the $9.99 of matzo from counting toward your $25 total. ALSO, in-store ads for this week all have this freebie coupon (unlike the dollar doubler coupons, which only appear in the ads mailed to your house). This means ANY time this week that you are buying at least $15 of groceries at Giant, you should toss those matzos in the cart! The King David matzos were on a special side shelf especially set up in the kosher food aisle.
