Giant Eagle Deals and Coupon Matchups 9/9 - 9/15

Here are the highlights for this week. If you see any other fantastic deals, let me know.

• Giant Eagle's ad runs from Thursday to Wednesday.
• My GE doubles all coupons up to $0.99. (ie. a $0.75/1 coupon will double to $1.50/1)
• Don't forget to load your GE card with Giant Eagle's EOffers and with e-coupons from Shortcuts and Cellfire. (If the same coupon is on more than one site, only load one at a time. After you have redeemed/used the first coupon, then go back and load the next. If you load both to your card, you will loose one of them.)
• Be careful with the CAT deals. If you do two of the same CAT deals in the same transaction, the CAT may not print. Check your ad to make sure that you separate like CAT deals into separate transactions.
• Remember, you can order coupons that you don't have from a CouponClippingService.
   

 These are the Giant Eagle deals that I see this week: (Obviously, anything that is FREE is a great deal.)

The barcodes on the coupons are the same, which tells you that the coupon is for the same product. Appearantly it's all the same company. And if you look closely at the coupon in the Washington Post there is a picture of a blue bag of rice that says "Carolina" - but if you weren't looking for it, you'd miss it.)
