Video: 3 Steps to Save with Meat Mardowns!

We get lots of questions on how to save money on meat. While we usually just have to wait for a nice sale – there are a few more ways to save on meat.  In this short video, join us as we hit the Meat Markdown jackpot – and go over a few tips to save even more!

      1. Stores start marking down meat as it nears it’s expiration date, in order to sell it quickly.  Scan the meat cases for “$$$ Off” stickers to find these deals.  If you can find “$$$ Off” stickers on an already low sale price – even better!
      2. Since a meat markdown sticker is a discount from the store, you can still stack a manufacturer coupon with it for even more savings.
      3. Even though it may be on or near the expiration date – if you’ve found a great deal you should still stock up. Buy it and either cook or freeze it right away.  If buying raw meat – cook it and season it, the portion into freezer bags for easy taco nights, pasta nights, etc….  Lunchmeats will freeze pretty well in a freezer bag for later use.

Bi-Lo: E-Coupons Not Working Properly?

There  have been  many questions surrounding Bi-Lo’s e-coupons recently.  Many have complained that the e-coupons they loaded aren’t coming off at checkout.  We decided to dig a little deeper into this issue and see what’s really going on.  Here is what we found out…

First let’s make sure we are loading them correctly.

1. Log in to your My Bi-lo account- Once you login, you will need to click on the ecoupons tab on the right hand side menu.  Then Click get stared with ecoupons to see the available ecoupons and load them.

2.Browse for ecoupons- Browse coupons by store category, or browse by brands alphabetically. Or, enter the description or brand you’re looking for in the Search Coupons field. You can also view all ecoupons.

3. Save your ecoupons- Once you have found the ecoupons you want, click ”Save It!” under each coupon, which will automatically add the coupon to your Bi-lo bonuscard.To view your coupons, click View My Save e-coupons in the upper left of the screen.

4. Redeem- You can redeem your ecoupons by scanning your bonuscard at checkout. All eligible ecoupons should be applied to your ordr while checking out.  They will  appear on your receipt once they have applied to your order.

I did the above, but my ecoupon didn’t come off,even though it is saved to my account. What do I do?

Double check to make sure you purchased the exact item and quantity needed for the ecoupon.

Bring your receipt  to the customer service desk and let the manager know that the ecoupon didn’t come off on your order. They will be able to give you a refund for that ecoupon. Sometimes it is helpful to have  a print out of your ecoupons that you have saved to your card so the manager can verify the ecoupon is indeed on your card. If you don’t notice the mix up until you get home, make sure to save your receipt so that you can bring it with you next time you are in store to get your refund. Just make sure to do so before that particular ecoupon expires.

Common Questions:

Do I have to use the big bonuscard or can I use the Key ring bonuscard? Either Bonus card will work.

Do I need to bring a printout of the ecoupons I have saved? This would be very helpful as the manager on duty can verify that you do have that particular ecoupon saved to your card.

Can i fix this in store? Yes, Just simply go to your customer service desk and let them know the ecoupon didn’t apply to your receipt so they can give you a refund.

Do I need to save my receipt? If you don’t realize that the ecoupon didn’t come off until you get home, yes. Simply bring your receipt with you the next time you are in store so you can get the refund.
