Stop & Shop Savings and Giveaway

Who doesn't like discounted groceries, free groceries, and free gas? Everyone wants these things! Thanks to MyBlogSpark, I'm able to know and thus tell you about the Stop & Shop Back-To-School savings event going on now through September 10, 2009. General Mills and Stop & Shop are teaming up to give families a great way to stock up and save, as they gear up for back to school. Here’s why shoppers should shop at Stop & Shop’s big Back to School Event:

Great sale pricing on the participating General Mills brands: Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Reeses Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp Sprinkles, Cookie Crisp, Fruit Snacks, Old El Paso Dinner Kits, Pillsbury Strudel, Pillsbury Scrambles, Green Giant Boxed Vegetables, Yoplait Yo-Plus Multi-Pack, Fiber One Yogurt Multi-Pack, Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookies, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Pillsbury Sweet Rolls and Yoplait Delights

Additional savings for you or your school, depending on which Stop & Shop location you shop...

1) If your Stop & Shop store sells gas...Buy four participating General Mills items and you’ll automatically earn 100 points on your Stop & Shop card. For every 100 points earned, you'll save 10¢ per gallon of gas (Please note: Total discount cannot exceed price per gallon). Just swipe your Stop & Shop Card at the pump to redeem your Gas Rewards

2) If your Stop & Shop store doesn’t sell gas...For those Stop & Shop locations without gas stations, don’t worry – you’re not left out of the savings – if you buy five (5) participating General Mills products, you will receive 20 Bonus Box Tops for your school.

On top of that (keep reading--don't get in your car to go shopping just yet), General Mills and MyBlogSpark are giving away a $10.00 Stop & Shop gift card to one of my lucky readers! They also sent me one but, very unfortunately, there isn't a Stop & Shop near me, so I'll be passing mine on to one of my readers as well. That means that two readers will each receive one $10.00 gift card to Stop & Shop. To enter, you must visit Stop & Shop's website and tell me what city the nearest Stop & Shop to you is located in (they have a handy dandy store finder here). NOTE: You can also use the Stop & Shop gift card at a Giant grocery store.
