I see that the supermarket chains around here are offering a 10% bonus
if you spend part of your stimulus check there. Give them $300, get
a $330 gift card. $1200, get $1320.

Is anyone planning to reduce their grocery bill that way? I know many
other types of stores are offering the same deal.

So far only one St. Louis chain has advertised the deal, and it's the
one I don't use much. We'll see if the other two step up now that Shop
n Save has advertised it. If one of them does, then sure. It's a 10%
return on your money, which is good.

I would not take up the offer at a store where I don't already shop,
agreed. The two stores where I do most of my shopping do offer
the option, which is why I'm considering it.

well, money is fungible. use the check for a big shopping trip and
bank the sum spent anyway (if that was your intention).
