If you are a resident of Minnesota or Illinois, I have an awesome sweepstakes for you. If you are not from Minnesota or Illinois, please enjoy some of the other posts on our site.
Full Disclosure: I was compensated by Cub Foods for this post
I’ve been shopping at Cub for years (I was actually there just a few hours before writing this post!). If you don’t already know, they have weekly deals and store coupons that can save you a ton of money if you take advantage of them. We saved over 40% off our purchase price on our most recent visit simply by using the store coupons in the Sunday Newspaper.
To celebrate their 45th Birthday Cub Foods is running a $4,500 Cub Foods Gift Card Sweepstakes. That’s right: $4,500! I don’t know how much money your family spends on groceries each month, but that would last us at least a year. Besides that, Cub also sells cleaning products, Newspapers/magazines, even pet food and supplies.
From a personal finance standpoint this could be a huge win. You could spend $0 on groceries, cleaning supplies, medicine, and more for months. That additional money could be put towards savings, a new car, or my personal choice – a vacation ;)
Without further delay, below are the details for the sweepstakes. While there may seem to be a lot of steps, this could work to your advantage if you do decide to enter as there likely won’t be a ridiculous number of entries. In other words, your odds are much better than buying a lottery ticket.
