A few of you emailed me that the Giant Kraft Instant Savings didn’t work after coupons. I went to test it. Here is what I found:
1. The Kraft 2% Singles are not included in the sale.
2. The instant savings didn’t come off for me after coupons, however, I did a second transaction – it didn’t come off without coupons either. I spent $16 and the total was still $16.00. I went to customer service because I was a little perplexed. She reviewed my receipt and gave me $5.00 cash.
3. It looks like most stores are not carrying the Kraft with a touch of Philly.
Let us know what your are experiencing!

I purchased: 2 boxes Stove Top, 2 30oz containers of mayo, 4 boxes pudding, 4 bags shredded cheese, 2 16oz bottle of salad dressing and spent $11.61. I did notice the $5 come off before I handed over my coupons too.
Caroline says
I did three transactions yesterday at Martin’s (owned by Giant in VA and PA). All three worked perfectly. The $5 came off before I even handed over my coupons. There were not any bags of Touch of Philly cheese so I couldn’t use those coupons. I didn’t check the singles because I was only getting shredded cheese, but even the 2% shredded only had regular sale tags, not the promo sale tags. Too bad the Get $7 off when you purchase $20 wasn’t as easy as this! I’m still waiting on $14 back.
Zina says
I went last night to do the Kraft deal. I didn’t use the 2% coupons because my ad states that the sliced cheese needs to be in 12 oz packages & my store didn’t carry that size in the 2%. Maybe this is why some other people have had problems with this deal…
Melissa says
Oh and as a side note, there’s a good deal on I can’t believe its not butter. There was an $.85 coupon on couponnetwork last week. If your store does full doubles it makes it only $.09. ($1.79-.85-.85)
Melissa says
Looking at my ad online it seems like the singles (reg or 2%) may be causing some of the issue? When I look at that “ad block” mine only lists different varieties of the shreds, chunks, etc. None of the singles. I purchased 3 2% singles, 2 bags of shredded, 3 cream cheese and a tub of cool whip. The singles, cream cheese and cool whip all just had “regular” sale tags although the cream cheese and cool whip were definitely listed in the ad. It didn’t trigger the discount so I took my receipt to customer service and she gave me $5. Interestingly enough the person behind me in line purchased only 2% singles and the $5 did come off for him…so go figure
liz says
this isn’t related to the kraft deal but at my store the Terra chips were on sale for $2/each and there is a $1 coupon to use. $1/bag is a great price for these!
Mary says
Thanks!
Janelle says
This may not be the issue that everyone is having, but my ad clearly states “$15 must be met after all discounts are applied”. If Giant considers a coupon to be a discount (I bet they do), the usage of coupons might be throwing it off for some people.
Shannon says
Janelle,
usually when it says that – it is not after coupons. I would go on that assumption, but I did the transaction without any coupons and it still didn’t print.
Jen says
Just got back from Giant. The kraft deal worked perfectly for me. I think the issue is the 2% cheese. I noticed that the price sticker indicated the Kraft catalina only on the regular cheese (for both the shredded and the slices). None of the 2% price stickers had the catalina sticker. I did the following…
6 Kraft Shredded Cheese
2 Kraft American Singles
used (3) $1/2 Kraft shredded cheese
used (1) $1/2 Kraft singles
Paid $7
Shannon says
Jen,
I didnt buy any 2% cheese :(
miranda says
Just got back from a whim trip to giant and I found a blinkie coupon at the candy rack for B1G1 on the Milky Way Simply Caramel. All Mars candy is B2G1 so with the coupon it was $0.79 for 3 candy bars, or $0.26 each, not the best but it makes for good Easter candy or a late night snack!!
mary says
Also, Arm & hammer 40 ct dryer sheets are 1.47(reg price) buy 2 and use $3./2 coupon from 4/10 insert to get both free!
Mary says
Just so everyone knows, Capri sun are included in the sale. I saw signs under each flavor(other than the 100% juice ones) so I asked cust. service. She rang up enough to trigger the discount and it worked. I am happy :-)
Karyn says
Thanks Mary! That’s great to know!
Janet says
am I missing something? I can’t find this week’s matchups for Giant. Thanks
Shannon says
Nope, you are not missing anything. I spent the last 72 hours moving the server for the site. Matchups will be later.
Lydia says
I am realizing how much I depend on your Giant match-ups! I feel handicapped because I want to go shopping but don’t know if I’m missing deals! :) Anxiously awaiting this weeks matchups- and thanks for all you do!
Shannon says
Lydia,
Not happening this week – just don’t have 2 1/2 hours. Going to put up some of the best buys shortly.
Tara says
My Giant was having some major issues. I bought the 2% milk slices and thought that was the issue so she voided those and I got ther regular ones and the $5 still didn’t come off. I think maybe the 2% milk ones – even the shredded – aren’t counting for some reason either. I did 2 transactions and I bought 5 shredded, 2 slices and 1 stove top and used 2 1.00/2, .50/1, .75/1 and .50/1 and .50/1 and paid 3.38 oop. She manually did the $5 discount for me and said she would call into Giant because the ad clearly states “all varieties”.
Good luck everyone!
Jessica says
I also had to go to customer service and they gave me $5 back. I bought 3 bags of shredded cheese, 3 kraft slice 2% (the 2% was included in the sale for me), 1 kraft BBQ sauce and 1 grey poupon but the instant saving did not come off for me.
Miranda says
I did the deal early this morning, I got the touch of philly cheese but was bummed to find the 2% cheese wasn’t included (should have known better). I also didn’t get the instant savings but the manager came over to over-ride it for me and him the cashier and myself all agreed that from what the ad says I should have received the savings… they said this always happens on sundays which is why I try to save shopping til the end of the week.
Shannon says
Miranda,
The bummer is last Kraft catalina the 2% was included. :(
Jeremy says
Shannon,
Had no issues doing this deal at my Giant. I used the self-checkout. Bought 6 bags of kraft shreddded mozzarella and 2 pkgs of kraft singles white american. Used (5) $1/1 kraft shredded cheese, (1) $0.50/1 shredded cheese & (2) $0.75/1 kraft singles coupons.
Total OOP = $3.25
Shannon says
You didnt buy any chunk cheese. that may be the culprit?
Robin says
It’s the 2% cheese that isn’t adding into the total $15.
Shannon says
Robin,
I didn’t buy 2% — I noted that in the post, so I am super confused.
Lisa says
I wanted to make sure they took the coupons because they didn’t have the touch of Philly cheese. My coupons worked on the regular packs of cheese. I did not get the $5 Kraft discount I guess because I had the singles in that transaction. I am going back to question it because they are pictured in the circular as included in the discount. I tried a second transaction later in the day at a different Giant and it worked. I actually bought 15 bags to make sure the Kraft discount wasn’t after coupons and I got 2 $5 discounts!
Shannon says
The Touch of Philly Coupons shouldn’t be used on the regular Kraft.
Shannon says
The 2% singles are not included, nor are they pictured in the ad.
Mary says
They were 2/4.00. I picked up 2. I did 2 transactions in one and only 5. came off. Cust. service gave me the other 5. back.
carrie says
I have stop and shop (similar to giant right?) and our add says “Kraft Indivudually Wrapped Cheese Singles all varieties 10.7-12oz. pkg” This should include the 2% right?
Jeanette Tanguis says
I had Kraft with a touch of Philly coupons last month and they expired because I could never find it in any store here in SE Louisiana.
Holly says
My add says the crumbles and chunks. Is shredded included too?
Shannon says
Holly, Double check your ad. It says Kraft Shredded Cheese and then crumbles and chunks in small print.
melisssa french says
Mine did not come off either so i went to customer service and she said they had been having problems. She gave me the $5 back as well.
Kara says
I was just at Wegman’s to use the Touch of Philly coupon and they have a few different varieties there.
