VG's: March 8-14, 2010

There was a pull-out insert of
Frozen Food Spectacular
coupons included in the VGs ad two weeks ago. The Shelby store confirmed for me that they would allow these Spartan coupons to be combined with manufacturer coupons for additional savings. You'll want to check with your store to be sure – other locations do not appear to be as cooperative of this idea.

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.

If you shop the Burton, Caro, Clio, Davison, Fenton, Genessee, Howell, North Fenton, Owosso, Waterford or West Flint locations, VG's is advertising DOUBLE MANUFACTURER'S COUPONS up to $1.00! You'll need to get additional details in the store. If those of you in VG's super-double land have any good deals with $1 double coupons to share, please comment on this post!

Yes, that leaves only 5 locations (Brighton, Marine City, Pontiac, Shelby Twp and Sterling Heights) that still double coupons up to $0.50.

I have listed only what I consider to be the best deals this week.
View the complete VG's Ad here for all of the advertised specials.

Did you know? 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.

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!

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.
