Current Grocery Store Gift Card Deals

3

It’s only a few days until Valentine’s Day and grocery stores are trying to capitalize on last minute gift buyers by running some good gift card deals. Here’s a list of them.

Price Chopper (NY & PA)

Price Chopper AdvantEdge

The Deal

Quick Thoughts

5x is worth 5% and so isn’t a huge return, but can be useful for higher value gift card brands like Best Buy and Amazon.

Albertsons/Safeway/Just For U (Vons, Randalls, Shaw’s, etc.)

The Deals

Quick Thoughts

All of these are decent deals. We covered the Visa gift card deal separately here as that’s a profitable deal.

The deals valid on specific third party gift cards are also good value for personal use and potentially for some gift card resellers.

Meijer

Meijer 02.10.21

The Deals

  • Get $5 off your next purchase for every $50 spent on most third party gift cards (limit 10).
  • Get $10 off your next purchase when buying $50+ in Apple gift cards.
  • Direct link to offers

Quick Thoughts

We’ve covered the $5/$50 offer that’s valid on most third party gift cards here. Although Amazon and several other brands are excluded, most brands are eligible including higher value brands like Best Buy, Home Depot and eBay.

The Apple offer is a good deal too, although there’s a limit of 1 on that versus 10 for the third party gift card deal.

ShopRite

The Deal

  • Buy $50 gift card for the following brands at ShopRite and get $10 off your next shopping trip:
    • Fandango
    • Spa & Wellness
    • Texas Roadhouse
    • Ulta Beauty
  • Direct link to offer

Quick Thoughts

Note that this isn’t an instant discount; instead, you get a $10 coupon which can be redeemed next week. This deal ends February 11 for those in Maryland and February 13 for those in all other states where ShopRite has a presence.

Kroger

Kroger 02.10.21

The Deals

Quick Thoughts

There are some good savings available here. 4x fuel points can be worth up to 14% off gas.

Giant/Martin’s/Stop & Shop

Giant-01.28.21

The Deal

  • Earn 4x points on the following gift card brands:
    • Cabela’s
    • Chipotle
    • Domino’s
    • Grubhub
    • Macy’s
    • Nike
    • Netflix
    • Outback Steakhouse
    • Panera Bread
    • Sephora
    • Lowe’s (Martin’s only)
    • Boscov’s (Martin’s only)
  • Direct link to weekly ad.

Quick Thoughts

Giant, Martin’s and Stop & Shop have different rewards programs depending on where you live. Many locations now allow you to redeem points for groceries or gas, rather than fuel savings being the only option.

4x points is on the lower end of their gift card deals (they often offer 8x or 10x), so it’s not a great deal in comparison.

Stater Bros

Stater Bros 02.10.21

The Deal

  • Buy $50 of the following gift card brands + $10 groceries & get $10 off instantly:
    • Crate & Barrel
    • Happy
    • Macy’s
    • Ulta Beauty
    • Dick’s Sporting Goods
    • Panera Bread
    • Cold Stone Creamery
  • Direct link to weekly ad.

Quick Thoughts

Assuming you’d be spending $10+ on groceries at Stater Bros anyway, you’re effectively saving 20% which is a good offer on many of these brands.

Save Mart/Lucky Supermarkets

Save Mart 02.10.21

The Deal

  • There are two different offers:
    • Buy $50 gift cards for the following brands & earn 1,000 points:
      • Home Depot
      • Macy’s
      • Netflix
      • Bath & Body Works
      • Victoria’s Secret
      • Olive Garden
    • Buy $50 gift cards for the following brands & earn 1,000 points:
      • Delta
      • Disney
      • Hotels.com
      • Starbucks
      • Shell
      • Fandango
  • Direct link to digital coupons

Quick Thoughts

1,000 points is worth $10 off a future grocery purchase, so it’s effectively worth 20% off. You can do both of these deals six times and you can get slightly better value when redeeming points in higher increments which can end up being worth 22% off.

Publix

The Deal

  • Buy $50 Visa gift card & $50+ groceries & save $10
  • Buy $50 Mastercard gift card & $50+ groceries & save $10
  • Direct link to offer.

Quick Thoughts

The Visa and Mastercard offers are digital coupons, so it should be possible to stack the two offers if you want to buy both gift cards in the same transaction along with $50 of groceries.

Food City

Food City 02.10.21

The Deal

  • Buy $25 gift card for one of the following brands & get seasonal candy (worth up to $9.99) free:
    • Sephora
    • Home Depot
    • Netflix
    • Texas Roadhouse
    • Applebee’s
    • Olive Garden
    • Victoria’s Secret
  • Direct link to weekly ad.

Quick Thoughts

This isn’t as good as a straight discount, but saving up to $9.99 on Valentine’s Day candy in return for buying a $25 gift card could still be a good deal.

H-E-B

HEB 02.10.21

The Deal

  • Buy $75 gift card for one of the following brands at H-E-B & get $15 H-E-B gift card free:
    • Sephora
    • Ulta Beauty
    • Macy’s
    • Bath & Body Works
    • Academy
  • Direct link to digital coupon.

Quick Thoughts

20% back in the form of an H-E-B gift card is a good offer.

BI-LO/Winn-Dixie/Harveys/Fresco y Mas

The Deal

  • Earn 8x points on all third party gift cards.
  • Check the app for a Mystery Bonus Coupon up to 20x in app.

Quick Thoughts

These offers will stack with each other which makes for a very rewarding deal seeing as Mystery Bonus Coupons can be used on gift card purchases. Note that the value of the points is worth half their multiplier, so 20x points is worth 10% in value towards a future grocery shop.

Schnucks

Schnucks 02.11.21

The Deal

  • Buy $50 gift card for one of the following brands & get $10 off:
      • Bath & Body Works
      • Darden
      • Netflix
      • Texas Roadhouse
      • Ulta Beauty
    • Direct link to offer (search for ‘card’).

Quick Thoughts

There’s a limit of one which is a shame, but still a decent discount considering the brands.

Brookshire Brothers

    • Gap
    • Happy Dining
    • Kohl’s
    • Sephora
    • Spafinder
  • Direct link to weekly ad.

Quick Thoughts

This is a very useful reward considering the eligible brands and could be of interest for resellers.

Shop ‘N Save

The Deal

Quick Thoughts

The maximum return here is 12% and that’s based on filling up your vehicle(s) with 30 gallons. Seeing as this offer is only valid on restaurant gift cards that’s not a great deal, but might be worth it if Shop ‘N Save is the only grocery store near you offering any deals.

Shoppers

The Deal

  • Buy $100 gift card for one of the following brands & save $10 on your next purchase:

    • Petco
    • Roblox
    • PlayStation Store
    • Xbox
  • Direct link to weekly ad.

Quick Thoughts

10% back isn’t amazing, but it’s still a good offer if you’re interested in Home Depot gift cards.

A 10% discount isn’t massive, but can be good for personal use.

  • Earn 3x Fuelperks+ for every $50 spent on Apple gift cards.
  • Buy $50 Yankee Candle gift cards for $40.

Quick Thoughts

The Fuelperks+ deals can potentially save you a lot of money as there’s no limit on your savings as it gives a percentage discount on your grocery shop when redeeming them. You’ll therefore save more money the more you spend on your grocery shop after earning the points.

The Deals

    • Participating third party gift cards (likely the same categories as Kroger: health & beauty, clothing, dining, Happy & Giving Good)

Quick Thoughts

Harris Teeter is owned by Kroger, but their fuel points programs run separately.

Cub

The Deal

Quick Thoughts

This can save you 4% on gas at most, so a poor offer in comparison to all the other grocery store gift card deals listed above.
