[travandadamsmom]

Just saw a comercial, black and gold buck are coming back.

Starting September 10 through the end of the season!

[travandadamsmom]

Found the list of products on their website.

List of products here (http://www.gianteagle.com/Article.aspx?cntid=195775)

[sqbdew]

woooooooooo hoooooooo I just went on ebay and bought a ton of the easy mac cup coupons 55/2. too bad the veleveta b1g1 coupon and cat expires before the 10th :(

[pittsburgh24]

I still had a bunch of those q's left - was going to trade them - good thing I'm lazy LOL.

[flaminicecube]

Too bad the stores are all in PA. There are tons of Steelers fans in Youngstown area. All I can say is
ROAD TRIP

I'd be taking a Road Trip over the Lines too if it wasn't so far for me. I wish they'd include Ohio too. :sad:

[tfinetwins]

I am new to the area, will you be able to use multiple $5 off coupons on the same item in the Steelers store? If so, this could make for a great CMAS gift for DH.

[mckivigl]

Last year you could use as many as you wanted. I know that I used $90 on one transaction. My dh loved his authentic jersey! Go Heath!

[soapstone]

Looks like WV stores are participating! Woohoo!

[tfinetwins]

That is super cool. I have 40 of the easy mac coupons and 40 of the knorr. I am excited!

[bamcconnell]

I've never done this promotion before. Do you need to do separate transactions or can you buy 20 participating products in a single transaction and get 4 - $5 off coupons? Can you use multiple $ off coupons at the online store?

[willow78]

Is there for sure an easy mac deal, or would we be waiting for a sale?
I was just wondering how much we can typically get these for, so I know if I should try to get coupons or not... It's not a product that I typically use, so I wouldn't want to spend much per unit, just because of the B&G bucks...

They are 10/10 everyday so 55/2 =45 cents each 5 would cost 2.25 and you get 5.00 black and gold bucks. also last yr you got more than pne if u bought 10 and could use more than one at the steelers store. I think online the max was 35.00 worth.

[tfinetwins]

Ok, so now I am super psyched. My kids love those Easy Mac cups. :-)

[willow78]

Thank you for explaining.

I'm pretty sure I used about 60 or 80$ worth online, all in one order from the Steelers store. I got a couple terrible towels and a nice mock-turtle neck for my son's dad.

I'm hoping to get even more bucks this year LOL It was a great way to get his dad something. He's so hard to figure out what to get, but I know he like the Steelers!

Did you see the Steelers fathead collection yet? It's like the little collectible plaques they had last year. Coupon comes in the PPG, and you get a fathead (those wall stickies) each week to put on the free wall mural thingy.

Free wall mural coupon will be the 9/11 PPG, and the first of 8 player coupons will be in the PPG on 9/13. Every Thursday and Sunday a new coupon will come out through 10/8. They will be $2.99 each for the players.

I'll probably get 2 sets of those (one for my son and one for his dad) as a 'stocking stuffer'

[isaacsmom]

Don't forget...you can plan this in conjunction with your KRAFT "Pack a Smile" back to school rebates to get your Easy Mac and the Nabisco cookies/crackers!! That is some great double-dipping IMO.

[sagesonamabuster]

I am thrilled about this!!

[Weinergirl]

I wish they did something like this in Columbus... how about Buckeye Bucks??

[majestynoel]

I am mad about this!! grrr there are steelers fans in ohio... anyone shop the Girard store? it's the closest for me and I am thinking serious road trip. Since the baby is Due in December I am trying to do some seriously smart shopping. So now I need some details... Can I buy 10 ragu in 1 transaction and get 2 5.00 steelers bucks or do I need to do each seperate? And if anyone shops this store..are they coupon friendly or have a self check out?
Oh and by the way.. we now have a date ...December 18th!!

[sagesonamabuster]

Whoo-hoo my birthday!!!

[sqbdew]

grrrrrr It looks like this is one per order :( I got 10 easy mac cups and only got 1 steeler buck. if anyone finds out other wise, please psot,

[MamaSvs]

:hectic1: WOO HOO! I am so excited (so is DH!) We were just in the Steelers store the other night looking at stuff he liked and he said "let's wait and see if they run that promo agan this year!" LOL!

I am really disappointed the Ronzoni is not included this year. We are just getting to the end of our supply from last year. Good thing I am eating lots of salads so I need lots of salad dressing. Kids we just have to go back to eating the cups of Easy Mac rather than the packets again as well.:giggle2:

[countryterri]

grrrrrr It looks like this is one per order :( I got 10 easy mac cups and only got 1 steeler buck. if anyone finds out other wise, please psot,

Was customer service able to give you the other Black & Gold Buck?
I really do not want to have to split my order up in to 10 different ones in order to get these bucks!

[sqbdew]

I was there at 6.00 am the cs wasnt open :(

[ralphey]

I was just going to ask the same thing, so what the heck, I will - anyone know if the Stiller Bucks are limited to 1 per transaction, or can we get multiple? If not it would get really really great...

[countryterri]

I asked at customer service and they told me they were not 100% sure if it was limited to 1 per transaction. They told me that to be on the safe side I should split up my transactions....Yea, the lady behind me wasn't too happy 'bout that!

[countryterri]

I was at GE tonight and found out that you can only do one Black & Gold Buck promotion per order. I attempted to do a multiple and it did NOT work. I had to go over to customer service and have them correct it.

[willow78]

I bought-
1 GE hamburger bun
2 Alfredo Easy Mac
1 Triple Cheese Easy Mac
1 Cheesy Pizza Easy Mac

and my B&G bucks DID NOT print. They gave me $5 cash at CS.

sqb -
So, maybe it's not that you can't get more than one in a transaction. Maybe there's a product that's not in the system that threw off the 2nd cat. ...?

[countryterri]

I dunno.

I bought:
18 Velveeta Shells & Cheese (the easy mac kind in the single serve container)
2 Wishbone Dressings

It only printed (1) $5 Black and Gold Buck.

I took it over to CS and they just scanned my Advantage card and then scanned in the Velveeta x3 and it printed the other (3) $5 Black and Gold Bucks.

[willow78]

Hmm. Then maybe you can just get one per transaction. Bummer!

I bought all 10 of the original easy macs

[sagesonamabuster]

I already redeemed my first $20 today.:biggrin: I needed to get DD a Steelers shirt for school. Poor kid got sent to school yesterday in a size 2t. She's 6 by the way! It was a teensy bit short on her but it was cute layered over a white top. Now she will have a real shirt for the rest of the year!

[deetles1762]

I did one transaction (15 items) today and did not get any bucks. Customer service gave me $15 cash. Went back in did $10 items and did not get any again. Customer Service said I needed to call corporate. Should I call Corporate or Catalina, anybody know.

[MJKNEeley]

I never did Black and Gold bucks before, but I would think you would want to call Corporate since it appears to be a Giant Eagle sponsored deal.

[Johnnychimpo17]

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the amount you can enter online? I'm up to $120 bucks, and I would rather sit in front of my computer and buy stuff!

[countryterri]

I did not do this promotion last year but am this year. My question is this, if I make my purchases on line what is the return policy? My purchases will most likely end up being Christmas gifts for my brothers in Alaska and California.

Would I be better to go to one of the stores and make my purchases? They are both coming here (Pgh) for the holidays.

Thanks!

[RAVmom]

Just a reminder to everyone of the sweet promo that the Steeler Sideline stores ran last year in Decemeber. If you are planning to purchase a "replithentic" Steeler jersey, last year they offered a bonus gift card when you bought one of these jerseys. The bonus amount was either $25 or $50 if I remember right. I'm hoping they run this again and I'm saving my B&G bucks until December.

I also remember that some stores weren't letting customers use the B&G bucks with the bonus gift card offer but the South Hills Village store did.

I wanted to remind everyone that is planning their Christmas shopping.

[sagesonamabuster]

I am always up for bonus money lol! I don't know what "replithentic" is though? What does that mean? Thanks!

[travandadamsmom]

There are signs up all over Rochester GE comfirming that if you are purchasing more than 5 items, you need to split up your transaction in order to get more than one reward.

[RAVmom]

The replithentic jerseys are the ones that have the sewn-on numbers and letters. They also have the official NFL patch on the front center. My husband wanted a Lambert jersey for many years and I was finally able to justify the purchase last year with B&G bucks and the added bonus card.

[sagesonamabuster]

Awesome, thanks!

[christmaslady]

Has anyone tried to redeem any on the Steelers website yet? I must be stupid because I just cannot figure out where to enter the code! The coupon said to enter the "PIN" but the PIN field on the site is only 4 digits. I also could not get my total to update when I entered the code in the promotion field or the gift card field. Help??????

[Johnnychimpo17]

Does anyone know if we can use Steelers bucks to cover shipping if we buy online? I'm lazy, so I don't want to go to a store, yet I'm a cheapskate so I don't want to pay for shipping......!

[christmaslady]

I figured out how to enter the codes (I was being stupid!). I found that only 14 codes can be entered per order ($70). I WAS able to offset the shipping with the certificates.

I separated my order into two orders.

The first order only used part of the 14th certificate, but I was able to enter that certificate in the 2nd order and the system knew how much was left ($2.15). I thought that was cool.

HTH!

[KristaNElise]

I was so excited I Found a Black and Gold Buck in the Parking Lot the other day!! WOOhoo! its crazy people dont want free stuff!! :BigHand:

:)
now i need to find people that need some veggies..LOL

[willow78]

Has anyone tried to get more than one B&G cat in a transaction lately?
Today, I bought 5 items, and the cat printed before all of my order was scanned. I thought that in the past, it waited to print until the very end.

[sagesonamabuster]

I have not tried because I don't like dealing with CS more than I have to. I do remember reading someone said that they were working on getting it fixed so that more than one did print. Mine have always printed after the 5th item scanned and not at the very end. HTH!

yep :( I tried with the veggies since they were free anyways and it still only gave me one.

[willow78]

Thanks, sqb. This is such a pain.

[mell03]

I know knorr is part of the deal anyone know how much they are on and off sale?

[pittsburgh24]

On sale - usually a $1 or $1.25 - off sale, usually $1.39. There's also a cat deal going on now where you get $1 oyno wyb 4 (but 5 will get you the steeler bucks)

I'm new to the steeler bucks so i'm going to pose the question to my much more seasoned couponers! Today i bought 14 steamfresh and 4 skippy pb. So I should have received 3 $5 b&g bucks right? Only 1 printed out...is it ok to go back to the store tomorrow and ask customer service what happened and if they can give me 2 more?

[mddaustintx]

I've been doing mine in increments of five - so in your case I would have done three transactions.

It wouldn't hurt to ask CS tomorrow.

[willow78]

You can only get 1 B&G cat per transaction. So, in the future, break the items up into multiple transactions.
CS will probably help you out.

[matterninhburg]

Anyone know of anymore cheap scenarios for B&G bucks? I could use a few more, but haven't been able to figure out any more good deals.
Thanks!

[jmupole1]

Has anyone shopped at the Monroeville mall store with their Steeler bucks. How are stores with accepting so many bucks? I would rather buy in person so I know the stuff fits than purchase the stuff over the internet, but I don't want to create a big problem at the store with so many bucks.

[pittsburgh24]

i used close to $200 worth at the South Hills Mall store. I wanted to break it up into 2 separate transactions because I had so many B&G bucks but, they said I could use them all in one transaction with no problem - and I did.

[daniellematis]

I did a few huge (one was almost $300) transactions last year and there was never any problem. I am waiting to see if they do the gift card with jersey purchase again.
2 reasons to go to a store. 1. it is a huge pain to type in all of those codes. 2. didn't it only allow 5 of the codes online last year?

[jmupole1]

Cool, thanks. I just bought my 15-month-old a hoodie online and the total was around $31 and I used 6 bucks with no problem, plus still have some left with the one.

Phew, I was getting worried! I didn't want to have to drive 2 hrs to Pittsburgh to have to use all of these at once. Glad to know we can use more than 5 online at a time. Hopefully it's a lot more than 5 at a time!:biggrin:

If I'm not mistaken it stopped me last year somewhere around $70 give or take a few.

[willow78]

I've used B&G bucks at the Monroeville store. My largest transaction was only around $65, though. But, I don't think that you'll run into any issues.

Can someone please tell me what the deal was last year in regards to the gift card with the jersey? Specifics, please.

[pittsburgh24]

I think it was - buy an authentic jersey ($110) and get $25 or $50 in gc

[tfinetwins]

I spent some of mine online last night and I can confirm the max online is $70. I actually did this 3 times and each time 70 was the max!

[sitrene]

Can you use the Steeler Bucks to help with shipping or is that OOP? Thanks

The birdseye veggies are 5/$5 and the knorr sides are 10/$10 and we just got .40/2 q's in our RP.

[jmupole1]

For Steeler bucks there is also Hellmann's, Ragu, Skippy, Glad bags and Ritz crackers all on sale and most have coupons.

[daniellematis]

I think it was - buy an authentic jersey ($110) and get $25 or $50 in gc
It was a $50 card but I thought the Jersey I got was $135-maybe there were 2 different deals or different prices on jerseys. IDK It was all free to me!

[willow78]

Argh.
Question about RCs. If I get a RC (say for 15 Bird's Eye), do you think they'd let me split them into 3 transactions of 5? Or, would they only let me do one transaction?

I did this same thing with wishbone dressing. I went to one of my favorite cashiers and asked her to ring them up in 5's so that I could get my steeler bucks and she did!!

I know GE has a list of eligible products on it's website. Under Nabisco it says snack crackers 7 to 10 oz. "selected varieties". Does anyone know of a list that's available that lists specific products and not just brand names? I bought a box of Triscuits today for $2.50 less the $1.00 off coupon with other eligible items and got the Steeler bucks so I know the Triscuits work.

I'm excited. I found a Food Pantry (church run) in Monroeville that accepts frozen food donations! I ordered a bunch of qs for the Bird's Eye (to get the Steeler bucks), and now I know what to do with all the extra vegetables!

can you tell me where in Monroeville?

[willow78]

Cross Roads Presbyterian Church
Do a google search on the name; they have a website.

Disclaimer:
I have not been there yet, and I do not know anyone from there. So, anyone considering donating there should research and make their own decision on whether or not they have a worthwhile program.
