Giant Food is a supermarket chain in the Mid-Atlantic, with stores across Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC and Delaware. It is part of Ahold Delhaize USA. The Giant Food website lets you shop the store's range online for curbside pickup or home delivery, and manage digital coupons and rewards.
Giant Food is a separate business from The GIANT Company in Pennsylvania, despite the similar name. Codes and rewards for one do not work at the other, so check you are on the Giant Food site.
A good Giant Food online order depends on choosing pickup or delivery sensibly, loading the rewards card, and knowing where store brands save most.
Pickup or delivery
With pickup, Giant Food staff pick your order and you collect it at a chosen store and time. It is usually the cheaper option, since pickup fees are low or waived above a basket minimum.
Delivery brings the order to your door within a time window. It costs more per order, and the fee varies by slot and basket size. Tipping may be optional or suggested; check the current Giant Food terms.
Enter your address to see which Giant Food store serves you. Online prices may differ from in-store shelf prices, so compare a few regular items if you shop both ways.
Slots before holidays and snowstorms go fast. Book early, then add to the order until the cut-off.
Delivery subscriptions
Giant Food has offered a delivery subscription plan that removes per-order delivery fees on qualifying orders for a monthly or annual price. It pays off only if you order often. Add up your recent Giant Food delivery fees and compare before signing up.
The rewards card and digital coupons
The Giant Food rewards card unlocks sale prices, digital coupons and points on qualifying purchases. The card number is linked to your online account, so sale prices apply online too.
Points have typically been redeemable for savings on groceries or on gas at participating fuel stations. The Giant Food programme has changed its name and rules over time, so check the current earning and redemption terms in your account.
Load digital coupons before you check out; they do not apply retroactively. Browse the coupon list once a week and clip the ones for things you buy anyway.
Substitutions and fresh items
When an item is out of stock, Giant Food shoppers may substitute. Set substitution preferences per item: allow them for staples, block them for allergy-sensitive or brand-specific items.
Check produce, meat and dairy dates at pickup or at the door. Anything you are unhappy with can usually be refused or refunded; check the current Giant Food policy and report issues promptly.
Store brands and value
Giant Food sells store-brand groceries alongside national brands, including the Nature's Promise line for organic and natural products. Store brands are often noticeably cheaper per unit on staples such as milk, eggs, cereal, canned goods and cleaning products.
Use the unit price on each listing to compare. A national brand on sale with a digital coupon can occasionally beat the store brand, so check both before adding.
The weekly circular shows the current sales. Planning meals around it saves more than any single Giant Food code over a month of shopping.
Buy non-perishables in bulk when they hit a good sale price, and stick to weekly quantities for fresh food. A cheap multi-pack of salad or bread that goes off before you finish it costs more than the full-price single.
The Giant Food pharmacy and prepared-food counters are part of many stores, but not all of their items can be added to an online order. Check what your local Giant Food lists online.
Where the Giant Food savings are
The $50 code is the largest. Codes of this size are usually spread over several orders or need a first order and a minimum basket, so read the terms shown when you apply it.
The $25 new-customer code is the fallback for a first Giant Food online order. It will have a minimum spend; build a full weekly shop to reach it rather than padding the basket.
The $5 code is small but can apply to later orders when first-order codes are no longer available.
Giant Food promo codes generally do not stack with each other, but they do sit alongside rewards card prices and digital coupons. Load the card and coupons first, then apply the code.
