DEAD: Food Lion - $2/$5 Produce FLIP's

[katncaed]

Just an FYI, there are two different $2/$5 produce FLIP's available now. They have different barcodes and can both be used in the same transaction, assuming you meet the required amounts, i.e. $10 prior to MVP.

The FLIP's are available here.

Thanks for pointing that out! I really like these!
I emailed them the other day and let them know how much this draws me to buy at food lion insted of another store. WE should let them know that we like the deli and produce coupons!

I have always wondered. Do you have to buy $5 worth of produce before or after MVP rebates?

It's before the MVP discount. The best use this week is the grapes on sale for $.99lb. The regular price is $1.99lb. Buy a little more than 2.5lbs and your pre-MVP price will be about $5.00. The sale price will be about $2.50. After the coupon, you'll only pay about $.50. Make sure you have at least 2.52lbs of grapes, other wise, the coupon won't work.

actually I used this coupon today
I got 1 bag of gala apples, bananas, and a bulb of garlic
bfore savings, $7.xx
then scanned card and went down to $5.xx
and then gave the q and went down to 3.xx.
I can't say for sure that it has to be pre-mvp savings amount or not

Thanks! I will try that.I always was counting it after discount so I will be saving more money now! ;)

I think they work on the before price because the MVP card is not required to use the FLIPs. That is just my theory. Who knows the real reason.

I did this yesterday, well I got 2 lbs of grapes and 1lb onions (needed some onions)...First the grapes had not been programed in the register and she had to do it as if it were a raincheck item, which of course I then didn't purchase enough since it rang up as $.99lb REGULAR price. I complained a tiny bit and the manager did an over ride.

Got the 2lbs of grapes home....not very tastey grapes! Though I got the 8lb bag of oranges and those definately tasted good, juicy and sweet.

I used a $2/$5 Q yesterday for grapes as well, the first time using one of those e-mail companion Q's and it went well. Just as described, the "off of $5 purchase" was towards the regular price so it worked just fine for me, a bag at about 2.75 poundsfor $.74.

Sad to hear the grapes aren't that good, I haven't had any yet but I've got em in my lunch today. Wife likes oranges so maybe we'll use the second Q we have for those.

Those naval oranges, do they have seeds? What are the oranges that are seedless? Wife wants those.

Also, with the $2/$5 deli/produce Qs.... Do all fruits/veggies in the entire produce section count for the produce Q? Does it count for things like bagged salad or other items that are in shelves in the produce section?........... and with the deli Q- does that ONLY refer to meats or cheeses that are cut at the deli and sold per pound? Does it count towards any of the breads/desserts that are made each day? Or the pre-packaged meats or cheeses?

Thanks to anyone who can help!
