FREE Meat at Giant - No coupons needed!

HAPPY SATURDAY!

If you are anything like me (being a major meal planner & money saver), you probably spend at least part of your day on Saturdays trolling the web to find the best deals for the following week & getting all your coupons for the sales in order. So, while doing JUST that this morning, I came across a great find for Giant next week (starting TOMORROW 2/26). I have two words for you: FREE. MEAT. (insert Happy Dance here).

To get this deal you don't need any coupons (although if you have a few of the matching ones it will make your deal even BETTER!). In next weeks ad, you will see the following promotion: "Get $5 off your meat or seafood purchase when you buy 5 participating products below in a single transaction".

The items listed in the promotion are:
Kraft Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese (including Homestyle & Velveeta) - 2/$4
Kraft Shredded Cheese, Crumbles & Cubes (5.8oz+) - 2/$6
Kraft Velveeta Cheese Product (16oz pkg) - $3.49
Shake & Bake Mix (all varietes) - 2/$4
Kraft Sizzling Salads Dinner Kit - 2/$5
A1 Steak Sauce - $2.99
A1 Marinade - $1.99

There are also several matching coupons out to make these deal even better!
They are:
$1/2 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese
.75/1 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese
.50/1 Shake & Bake
$1.00 off fresh chicken or pork wyb 1 Shake & Bake (this is stickie that is on some of the packages of Shake & Bake)
$1.00 off beef wyb 1 A1 Sauce (tearpad coupons sometimes found by the A1 sauce)
.55/1 A1

So when you buy ANY of these 5 items together, you can get yourself $5 worth of meat or seafood FREE! There are no restrictions listed for the amount of times you can do this deal. Although, I would suggest doing multiple transactions if you plan to do it more than once, as it may not work if done multiple times in the same order (this happens a lot with Giant). Look for marked down meat to get bigger quantities included in the deal. It would also work out well to get $5 worth of shrimp or scallops to use in a seafood alfredo this week! Single Ham Steaks are also usually priced under $5 & would be a great addition to add to omelets or top a homemade pizza!

A great example of a transaction would be:

4 Homestyle Mac & Cheese  $8.00
1 Shake & Bake Mix             $2.00
                                             $10.00 Subtotal
                                           - $2.00 (Use 2 $1/2 Homestyle Mac & Cheese
                                              $8.00 Subtotal
                                           - $1.10 (.55/1 Shake & Bake DOUBLED)
                                             $6.90 TOTAL PRICE for all 5 items PLUS $5 Free Meat (your choice)!

This is an awesome deal, as not too many meat promotions or coupons come along very often! I would also suggest going earlier in the week if your store has limited stock on any of the items you plan to use in your deal. Prices will also vary from store to store, so double check your prices before duplicating this deal above.

I'd love to see what other deals we can make this week! Post them in the comments below if you found a good one!
