Growing up around Philadelphia, one commercial jingle stuck with me: the Shoprite Can Can Sale. Relentless TV commercials promoted the annual event’s remarkable bargains on store brands and select national-name canned goods.
If that tune never lodged in your brain, you might be an anomaly.
The Can Can Sale still happens each year, though you’ll usually need to wait until January for the three-week promotion. Even when the Can Can isn’t on, there are many ways to cut costs at this Mid-Atlantic supermarket chain. Because each outlet is independently owned, confirm policies or promotions with your local store’s management. Below are my top tactics for getting the best deals — from Shoprite discounts and coupons to special in-store events.
1. Join the Shoprite Price Plus Club
Sign up for Shoprite’s Price Plus Club for free.
Scan your Price Plus Club card at checkout to maximize savings when you shop. You can load digital coupons onto the card, and scanning it also allows the cashier to double manufacturer coupons up to 99 cents.
2. Load Shoprite Digital Coupons
After you have your Price Plus Club card, log into Shoprite’s Digital Coupon Center. Load coupons onto your card for extra discounts beyond what appears in the weekly ad.
The Digital Coupon Center is straightforward to use — you can pick brands from the left-hand sidebar to quickly find items you buy often. Always check each coupon’s fine print so you purchase the correct size or quantity.
Sometimes a digital coupon stacks with an in-store sale. For instance, on one visit I could buy four Progresso soup cans for $1.14 each with the Price Plus Club card. By adding a digital coupon, that price dropped further to just $0.89 per can.
Pay attention to purchase requirements on promotions. “Pick 4” deals, for example, require purchasing four qualifying items to receive the sale price.
3. Head Straight to the Wall of Values
Can’t spot the sale item from the weekly ad while wandering the aisles? Go to the Wall of Values, often located by the front entrance near produce.
The Wall of Values carries only nonperishable items — refrigerated bargains remain in their regular sections but will be marked as Wall of Value products.
4. Keep an Eye Out for Manager’s Specials
Some discounts never make the weekly circular, so you might be pleasantly surprised when you enter the store. Manager’s specials are typically highlighted with neon signs above or beneath the product.
Act quickly — these prices are temporary and may not list an exact expiration date. Double-check your shopping list and decide whether the deal fits your needs.
5. Take Advantage of $10 Deals
Have extra space in your freezer or pantry? Bulk up on affordable $10 Deals.
I’ve seen offers in the meat department for 8 pounds of chicken thighs or drumsticks for $10. It isn’t something you’ll use every week, but a $10 bulk buy can be a smart move if you’re hosting a game-day gathering or restocking your freezer.
6. Shop During Happy Hour
Yes, some grocery stores have happy hour. Your mileage will vary, but Shoprite locations that sell beer and wine sometimes host tastings while you shop. At my local store, happy hour runs from 5–7 p.m. most weekdays.
Sample the day’s featured brew, and if you like it, you may find a discount on a six-pack. Some stores even advertise live music several nights a week.
7. Buy Hallmark Cards
If you enjoy sending paper cards for special occasions or just because, purchase them at Shoprite and benefit from the Hallmark Card Rewards Program.
For every $10 spent on greeting cards, you receive a certificate for $2 off a future purchase. Check your store’s customer service desk to confirm the program’s availability and the current promotion dates.
8. Check Ibotta for Rebates
It’s smart to look at Ibotta for rebates on items already on your list. From 12-packs of soda to pet food to eggs, chances are you’ll find matching offers.
Remember to unlock deals and photograph your receipt after shopping to claim your cashback.
