They&#8217;ve been doubling coupons 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since about 2000 on any coupons of 99 cents or less.  In some of their markets they have doubled coupons of $1 and less at times.  <\/p>\n<p>I recommend shopping at Giant Eagle over a store that has everyday low prices.  Why?  Because I get groceries for 70% and more consistently there, something that can&#8217;t be done at Wal-Mart or Marcs.  Yes, Giant Eagle has high everyday prices on items that aren&#8217;t on sale.  But when they go on sale, you can&#8217;t beat the price when it&#8217;s paired with a coupon.  Just don&#8217;t buy the full price items.  Wait until they go on sale, usually once every six week cycle.  If you mix the sale items with items that aren&#8217;t on sale, you&#8217;ll save around 20% at the most.  Wait for the items to go on sale, particularly when they are 50% off and paired with a coupon you can save 70% or more. <\/p>\n<p>Joe<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.joethecouponguy.com\">http:\/\/www.joethecouponguy.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GIANT EAGLE Oscar Mayer bacon &#8211; BOGO &#8211; use .75 that doubles and get it for around $1.50.
