The Savings Desk

Every deal below is publicly advertised by the business itself — on its own site, its official page, its printed menu. We found it, checked it, and did the math nobody wants to do in line: what it saves you per visit, per week, per year. No business paid for a spot and nobody coordinated these — the Gazette dug them up.

The desk rule: if a deal can't point at a public place where the business advertises it, it doesn't run here. Every card names its source and the day we last verified it.
Thursday, September 17: 2 of the 2 deals below are live today. Tick I'd use this weekly on any card and the counter at the bottom does your year.

Know a deal the desk is missing? It has to be advertised publicly by the business — a menu page, a posted special, an official social post. Send it to the desk and we'll verify it: email the desk, or if it's yours, put it on the record through the Business desk. Weekly-ads worth checking yourself: Save Mart, Grocery Outlet, WinCo.

Deals come from the businesses' own public advertising and are re-verified on a rolling basis. Prices and terms belong to the businesses and can change; the card tells you when we last checked. The savings math is arithmetic, not a promise — your total depends on what you actually buy.
