Storm savings

Our local three grocery stores are offering 15% off today since Pittsburgh had big, damaging storms Tuesday and left many without power. (Some still haven't been restored). It's a savings especially if you lost everything. I was thankful my power was only out just under 7 hours.

I thought it was a nice community jesture. I did shop early this am. I'm guessing the stores will be jammed later. Had my morning coffee early, and off I went.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

I live just outside of downtown Pittsburgh and my power was out 31 hours. I plan to wait another day or two before I shop, There are still a lot of outages in the surrounding areas. I still have cable so that was out a little longer than the power so all I had was my phone. Thank goodness for Halo!

@Katrinka23 My dads power came back Friday night - 72 hours!
My xfinity was out about 32 hours, but was happy my power came back after 7 hours. They said some may go w/o power until possibly Tuesday! Yikes!

@lynnie61 I heard about Giant Eagle. Who else is offering discounts? I'm asking for my son's family who live outside of Pittsburgh.

I heard Kuhn's and Shop and Save. I went to Shop and Save. I know GE and SNS was today only. I don't know if Kuhn's was today only. Although power isn't fully restored for some. Maybe they will offer it again.

@PA Mom-mom You're welcome. I checked online, Kuhn's was today only also. Giant Eagle, I believe started it, and announced on Thursday. I'm sure the other stores wanted the business too.

I really appreciate the heads-up. I relayed everything to my DIL who didn't know anything about it. They have 5 children, ages 6 to 17, so any savings is worth the effort. She and my son are kept very busy, and one grandchild is special needs, so I like to help from the other side of the state as best I can.
