Okay...so I am joining the ranks of Biggs shoppers...

Although the coupons do not double, I have been going in lately to get my organic milk because of the pump perks, and noticed they have great winetags and rebates there. (Mason, OH store.) They also have had great organic coupons, tons of Mambo Sprouts coupon booklets every time I go.

Can anyone tell me how their meat is? I like the good deals they have on it (like the 5/20 they have sometimes.)

So here's my thing. I went to Biggs today. I was all excited. Here's my chance to check everything out without "wasting" a trip b/c I'm taking advantage of the double/triple deal.

I've wanted to "leave" meijer and find a new "second" store. I was keeping my fingers crossed that biggs was the answer.

But today while walking through the store, I kept finding that prices were SO much more than Kroger or Meijer. I've got a lot of prices memorized and I couldn't get over how much more things cost. I get the facxt that you have the pump perks...and that is pretty cool. But still, without doubling and the higher prices...for example: Jello at Meijer/Kroger is $2 at Biggs it was $3.69.

Thoughts???

ITA with you on most of their regular stuff, WAY overpriced. I do get my organic milk there and sometimes some meat or produce for good deals. I get the milk there for pump perks. Now if they keep up with this triples, I will definitely make it an even more regular stop.

It's been months since I went into Biggs.

They were always out of the products I wanted, and seemed over-priced.

However, I am LOVING the triples, and the service has been awesome!

If they would lower the prices a bit, or double like Meijer...I would shop there more.

I somewhat agree, though I've been pleasantly surprised many times the past six weeks!

This weekend the soda sale was fabulous--5 12 packs for $12. On the pepsi if you bought 3 12 packs you got some sort of frito lay chips variety pack or something. I didn't pay attention. But on the coca cola it was buy 5 12 packs get two packages of Hillshire Farms sausages free! I had $1/1 on the minute maid/barq's/fanta products so I bought five of those for $7 and got two packages of Beer Brats for free! I was LOVING that deal!

This past week they had Kellogg's cereals 3 for $5 wyb 3 in one transaction so with the $1 off coupons they were .66 each. Then while I was in the cereal aisle I found they had Smores 12 packs on sale for $1.61 and with the $1/1 q's I had that meant I got the big box for .61!

Then over while picking up the Hillshire Farms I saw the John Morrell were on sale 3/$5 with a $1/1 coupon dispenser in front of it. .66 each for Morrell smoked sausages.

They had XL eggs .99/doz, $1/1 q's for the Organic Milk ($3.99 before coupon with .10/gal PP), $1 off produce coupons and $1 off beef coupons too.

And today, since its Double Ad Sunday (their ads online say they run Sunday to Sunday and double up on Sundays), I was able to get .79 Powerades from last week's sale to combine with next week's Buy 10 get 5 free. Add in my Buy 10 get 5 free coupon and I paid $3.95 for 15 32 oz Powerades!

Last it was triple pump perks this week! I earned .25 for what I bought, which wasn't specifically pump perk targeted.

So I got 12 12 packs of cokes, 4 pkgs Hillshire Brats, 2 John Morrell, 1 gallon milk, 1 large cottage cheese, 3 boxes kellogg cereal, 15 powerades, 1 bottle lemon juice, 2 lbs pluots, 1 bag Kraft marshmallows, and maybe another goodie or two, I forget for $41. And I earned .25 in pump perks. So not HUGE freebies, but for 12 12 packs, the meat, cereal and powerades? That's pretty good for no double coupons!
