VG's: October 25 - November 1, 2009

You'll find Frozen Food coupons in the September 28 VG's ad, valid through October 31. Be sure to keep these coupons so that you can save all month! A VG's manager confirmed that store coupons may be combined with manufacturer coupons, which will stretch your money a little further this month at VG's! If you still have these coupons, check for additional matchups!

KIDS (12 years & younger): stop by the Service Counter and pick up your very own mini Halloween Bag this week. While supplies last.

________________________________

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.

VG's Extra Edition can be found near the ads at the front door. This small, black & white 4-page ad features additional savings for the week.

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 amazing 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.
