Keeping your grocery budget under control during the summer months is no easy task. Between neighborhood barbecues, kids grazing through the pantry on summer break, and elevated food prices nationwide, checkout totals can climb fast. To help shoppers find relief, regional supermarket chain Giant Eagle has officially brought back its popular seasonal price lock. Running from July 9 straight through Labor Day on September 9, the grocer’s “On Sale This Season” initiative reduces and holds prices across more than 300 frequently purchased items by an average of 10%. Following a strong response to a similar promotion last fall where nearly two million households took advantage of the savings, Giant Eagle is stepping up its everyday value. If you are planning your shopping trips before summer wraps up, here are eight standout discounts and staples worth putting on your Giant Eagle list.
1. Certified Angus Beef 75% Lean Ground Beef
The Deal: $5.99 per pound (originally $6.69 per pound). Beef prices have been one of the biggest drivers of grocery inflation this year. Giant Eagle is dropping the price on quality ground beef by 70 cents a pound, making backyard burger cookouts and easy weeknight taco dinners much more affordable.
2. Green and Red Seedless Grapes
The Deal: $2.49 per pound (originally $2.99 per pound). Fresh fruit disappears fast during the summer. A 50-cent per pound price drop on seedless grapes makes this healthy, refreshing snack an easy addition to your fridge without wrecking your produce budget.
3. Family Size Cheez-Its (Selected Varieties)
The Deal: $5.99 each (originally $6.99 each). Keeping road trip snacks and lunchbox favorites stocked can get pricey when buying standard boxes. Saving a full dollar on the massive family-size boxes of Cheez-Its gives you more volume for your dollar.
4. Giant Eagle American Cheese
The Deal: $6.99 per pound (originally $7.99 per pound). What is a great summer burger without a slice of melting cheese? Giant Eagle has knocked a dollar off every pound of its store-brand American cheese at the deli counter, pairing perfectly with the discounted ground beef.
5. Jif Peanut Butter (Selected Varieties)
The Deal: $2.99 each (originally $3.29 each). Peanut butter is the ultimate budget-friendly pantry staple for quick sandwiches, apple dips, and baking. Locking the price below $3 a jar ensures a cheap, protein-packed option is always on hand.
6. Smucker’s Jelly (Selected 30-oz. Varieties)
The Deal: $2.99 each (originally $4.79 each). This is arguably one of the most dramatic markdowns of the entire summer promotion. Giant Eagle has slashed nearly $2 off large 30-ounce jars of Smucker Jelly, representing a discount of close to 38%.
7. Evian Water 6-Packs (Selected Varieties)
The Deal: $6.99 each (originally $10.29 each). Staying hydrated during late-summer heatwaves is critical, but premium bottled water rarely comes cheap. A price cut of over $3 on six-packs of Evian makes stocking up for pool days or soccer practice much easier on the wallet.
8. Hundreds of Storewide Produce and Protein Staples
The Deal: Average 10% savings across 300+ items. Beyond these specific headline deals, Giant Eagle has frozen prices on poultry, seasonal veggies, and favorite summer snacks storewide. Look for the special “On Sale This Season” tags on shelf edges across all departments to spot hidden savings.
Making the Most of Seasonal Savings Before Fall
With inflation stretching household budgets thin, seasonal price freezes give you a rare opportunity to predict your grocery expenses with confidence. By building your weekly meal plans around Giant Eagle locked-in staples between now and Labor Day, you can enjoy the rest of the summer without sacrificing quality or overspending at the register. Always check the store website or weekly ad before heading out to maximize these seasonal markdowns.
