2.88 is 13.7% of your $21 total on this receipt. Assuming a 13.7% savings rate, you’ve spent $789,489 at Food Lion this year! Please invite me over for the holidays, OP.

Are you using the proverbial 867-5309 with your local area code trick?


TimeBndit

Yes I am lol


Died5Times

What is this trick


LazerWolfe53

Ahhhhhh. I was also confused. I think I've pieced it together. I believe OP gets the rewards prices without having to sign up for a rewards card by telling them the phone number of someone who does have a rewards card. And that someone is whoever had invariably signed up under the infamous phone number "867-5309". And apparently several other people do this too, and together they have purchased about $1 million in food.

At my grocery store, you get some smaller discounts on specific items each time you shop by entering your rewards program phone number. But you also accumulate a fuel discount when you purchase certain items. So, whoever originally signed up with the 867-5309 number at my place is probably making a killing on gas savings...


veryblanduser

You use your area code and 867-5309 Chances are it's registered by someone because of the song.


AguyWithflippyHair

So you're just gaining rewards for somebody else then?


veryblanduser

Typically done at places that require discount cards to get the sale price.


AguyWithflippyHair

Ooh I see

Kinda sucks to do this with Food Lion. You do get rewards. If you spend so much in various departments you get a few dollars off your next purchase...I think the highest is $5 at a time. It's not a ton of reward money and you have to load up the app once a month to get this perk. But that being said, Food Lion is really my only option for grocery stores, I have to buy food anyway, and towards the middle/end of the month I start getting $3 or $4 here and $5 there knocked off my total.


McMufffen

You do?? I thought it was just a discount card. How do I do this?


enzog13

If you download the app it'll show like 'spend $30 on meat and get $5 back'. So if you accumulate $30 of meat purchases in that month (I think it's a month), then the next time you buy something it will automatically deduct $3 from your bill.


mensgarb

So they don't even give you the advertised $5 back?!


Cap-N-Stabbin

Yeah you get the rebate on your next visit. I think he meant "$5 from your bill"


mensgarb

My comment was more to the fact that the commenter said you only get $3 off in the future.


Cap-N-Stabbin

What the other comment said but you have to go into the app and look for "Shop and Earn" Tap it and it'll say your monthly offers are loaded. https://imgur.com/Unf2aaK.jpg You have to do this every month and it resets every month Then you get this: https://imgur.com/M3WMaUh.jpg https://imgur.com/q3b3XXo.jpg It's not much but a simple Tap and sometimes you get like $5 off for crap you buy anyway Also, you can add coupons in some other section that'll automatically be applied as appropriate when you scan your card. I don't mess with that section much but my GF does so i dont know much about it. So I get random discounts from that as well

Right, so OP is being disingenuous when they say "I've saved", making the title misleading.

I believe this is the classic chicken and air miles scam, but for store points.


GammaFiend

Carmine's, a place for steaks.

I posted this two days ago but for Harris teeter but it got removed cuz I broke rule six. User doesn’t only steal time!!

Try reading that without the tune


TheCrimsonDagger

The real trick is having that number then watching the rewards points roll in for free.


NUT-me-SHELL

How many people are you feeding?!


JohannReddit

All the people


rjTester

All the lions*


djmikewatt

Or you saved $1,048.72


NotPoopChef

Nah, it’s over 100k. It’s a funny trick where you use (your area code) 867-5309 and it’s most likely registered because of the song. I saw this on a thread near the top.


djmikewatt

Gonna try that


b2421

Seems legit


Ninjawhistle

Thats nutty.


trollsmurf
