Zoom in on circulars to save

Supermarkets know that shoppers are fed up with rising prices, so they’re offering more discounts this summer, focusing especially in perimeter departments like dairy, deli foods and meat. For example, ALDI has reduced their prices on more than 250 products (including cheese, chicken tenders, salami and trail mix) throughout the summer. And Giant Eagle is currently running its “Price Lock” promotion, where prices on 800 popular grocery products (including dairy, meat, produce and seafood) have been cut by an average of nearly 20% through August 9. To find these summer sales, check your store’s circular, app or website—and while there, look for manufacturer digital coupons. A new survey shows that 45% of major brands are issuing coupons as a way to compete with lower-priced store brands.
