Giant Eagle – forgot your coupons, no problem!

Posted on by

I’m sure some of you are forgetful (like me) and maybe leave your coupons on the table when you head to the store.  Well, with Giant Eagle, that is not a problem!  You can take your coupons (and receipt) with you the next time and they will give you the coupon values back to you!

  • The coupons cannot be expired.
  • The coupons must follow their acceptable coupon policy.
  • The coupons must be presented within 10 days of your purchase.
  • You must have used your Advantage Card and have your card when you bring the coupons in.

Here is their policy (which could change at any time):

Good deals this week Jan 18 – 24 (may vary by location, this is for the Belle Vernon, PA store):

  • 2 for $5 Kraft 6-8 oz shredded cheese
  • 3 for $9 party size Lays, Fritos, Cheetos (must buy 3 to get this price)
  • 3 for $6 Kellogg’s cereal select varieties (must buy 3 to get this price)
  • Giant Eagle lump crab meat 16 oz can $14.99
  • Orange Roughy $7.99 lb (my mom used to make this a lot)

I have a can of the lump crab meat in my refrigerator from the last sale.  For Winter Solstice this year, I made a crab rangoon type filling and put it in phyllo cups.  It was definitely a hit.  My grandma especially liked them.  I got the idea by searching the internet for a way to make crab rangoons without frying them.  These, I put in the air fryer.

I don’t usually make exact recipes unless I am baking.  Cooking is completely different for me.  I look at a bunch of different recipes and see what people are using and then decide how I want mine from that.  One recipe called for sugar … nope.  I think that same one called for mayonnaise … again, nope.  Fresh garlic … nope.  Fresh garlic doesn’t have time to temper in a quick recipe like this.  And, don’t get me wrong, I love garlic, but don’t think it should be overpowering.  It’s all just personal preference.  Maybe a small bit of fresh garlic would have been good … I don’t know.

I think I used 2 bricks of Philadelphia cream cheese (no other cream cheese tastes the same), 1 can lump crab meat (16 oz refrigerated), a splash or two of soy sauce, green onion tops only (from one bunch), some finely chopped red pepper, zest of one lemon, a little garlic powder, and a little onion powder. If you want it more crabby, you could cut it down to only 1 brick of cream cheese.

The phyllo shells are on sale 2 packs for $7 right now at Giant Eagle.  Just fill them and put them in the air fryer.  All the taste … and no oil smell or mess from frying!

This recipe (not really a recipe) is similar to when I made crab stuffed mushrooms a while back.  I added parmesan shreds on top of the mushrooms though.  Not everyone coming to my solstice dinner likes mushrooms though, so I decided on the phyllo cups instead.  The mushrooms are good though!

The 2 pack of Philadelphia cream cheese is on sale for $5.49 right now.  Again, your store may vary by price.

I’m fairly sure that I only used 1 brick of cream cheese for these because 2 bricks would have made way too much … although, crab is my favorite seafood.

Anyway, like always, I have gotten off subject and am completely unorganized … which is why I LOVE the Giant Eagle policy for taking coupons after the purchase.

I still do not like viewing Giant Eagle on my computer though … it is so annoying.  This is what you see … lots of useless space at the top.  It would be a much nicer experience if I could view more on a page.  It actually irks me quite a bit.

Anyway, go get some crab and make something good!

Happy shopping!
