Eagle's nest alone is worth any "inflated" price you are talking about - although I don't think that the prices are much, if at all, inflated. You can shop the sales and use coupons.

I myself don't shop at giant eagle for groceries, I go to Walmart because its a lot cheaper, its common sense, but however, giant eagle usually always has a buy one get one free deal on their meat deparment, they have a big yellow sticker on them, many of you know what I'm talking about, I just bought some very thick pork chops two days ago for $7, the package brought 6, and I got another one free, so 12 thick pork chops for 7 dollars, that's awesome! Another way I save is By using my WIC there. I get 8 cans of baby formula a month on wic and each can is around $15, thats already $120 bucks not including all the milk, eggs, peanut butter, juice, cereal, fruits, veggies, and bread I get on WIC, its the smartest way to save because I don't spend actual money but yet I still get my fuel perks. Another great way is to take advantage of the double fuel perks on gift cards, you get 20 cent fuel perks for every 50 bucks spent during that period, this month I believe it ends on December 14 or 17 so I advice you to take advantage and give them out as Christmas gifts it benefits you and the receiver because they get to pick out what they want. Another thing is I'm hearing a lot of people saying that they rather buy groceries at kmart because its cheaper.... WE SELL KMART GIFT CARDS YA MORONS hahaha TAKE ADVANTAGE!! another thing is when you have say $4.00 in FUEL PERKS and you redeem them to fill up your tank and gas cans for FREE at say $3.29 a gallon. You DON'T LOOSE that .71 cents of REMAINDING FUEL PERKS. You keep that. those roll over. So to end my disagreement with most of you, it CAN benefit us all, By offering us a discount on gas By simply stopping at the gas station and picking up a few gift cards on the way to the retail store we were just heading to. And one more thing to keep in mind is most of us have wifes or girl friends or even just dates, and where do we take them hmm Dave and busters? Red lobsters? Think GIFT CARDS and you can save, how bout her Christmas present where are you getting it? Sears? Macys? Think GIFT CARD and you can save too. And more thing, my stores been offering 3cents fuel perks per cup of coffee 20 oz or larger, a 20oz is 1.55, and your sixth cup is free and your advantage card keeps track of how many you have, so one coffee a day for 5 days is 7.75 and your 6th cup is free and you got 3cents fuel perks x 5 cups is 15 cents off x 30 gallons is $4.50 that you just saved on gas so all in all that's like buying 6 cup of coffees for $3.25. Ok I'm done. Don't forget to pick up some kmart gift cards on your way out ;) I actually work for the get go on ridge rd, and I think that the fuel perks idea is brilliant, but only if you know how to utilize it correctly and to your advantage.

It was two independent stores that ran this special, but corporate made them fall in line with the weekly fuelperks bonuses that are given for bulk purchases of particular promotional items each week. "Buy 5 General Mills cereals, get 20 cents fuelperks," and that sort of thing. The good news is I still buy everything with gift cards and my current balance is around $36, with yearly savings in the $4500 range, even without double fuelperks.
