Free turkey promotions are underway at two central Pa. grocery store chains.
The Giant Company and Weis Markets are offering promotions ahead of Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 28.
Traditionally over the holidays supermarkets give loyalty club members an opportunity to redeem shopping points toward the purchase of turkeys and other items.
Shoppers have to earn a certain number of points to take advantage of the promotions. Supermarkets offer the turkeys as a loss leader, hoping shoppers take advantage and then end up spending their money on other products.
Here are the details on the promotions:
Shoppers started collecting rewards points toward free turkeys and other select reward options earlier this month. Shoppers with 400 points can redeem them for a free frozen Shady Brook Farms turkey (a maximum size of 20 pounds) starting on Nov 1.
Points also can be used toward a $1 off any other brand of turkey.
Points can be redeemed online via Giant’s app or website or shoppers can receive a printed paper certificate in-store through Nov. 28.
Giant is limiting free turkeys to one per household.
Shoppers started accumulating points (1 point for every $1 spent). Redemption runs Nov. 7-28.
Shoppers can redeem 400 points for a free Weis Quality frozen turkey, frozen turkey breast, Smithfield smoked bone-in ham portion or Tofurky.
