We’ve partnered with Cub Foods and are excited to share a new way to save at Cub Foods: digital coupons.
In our previous post, How to Use Cub Food’s Digital Coupons to Save Money we explained exactly how to get started with Cub Foods digital coupons.
Today I’m going to share how they worked for me personally as my wife and I went and got groceries using Cub’s digital coupons.
First thing’s first: we always grab a copy of Pocket Your Dollars weekly shopping list for Cub Foods. Matching deals with coupons is one of the easiest ways to save money on your grocery bill. Carrie and her team do all the work, which is awesome for busy people who still want to save money.
Next we logged into our Cub Foods account and added the coupons we’d be using. This took only a few minutes of scrolling through the coupons and adding them to our my Cub Rewards account.
One feature I really like is that you can print a “shopping list” that will help you remember all the items you got coupons for. Another way to remember is to download the Cub Foods app.
Now that our prep work was complete we headed to Cub to pick up our groceries.
Because we didn’t get our Cub Rewards card in the mail yet I went ahead and printed a temporary copy to hand to our cashier when we checked out. No need to actually bring in the coupons that have been activated. In one quick swipe at the checkout, all the coupons that you added to your account are applied to your purchase.
We saved $29.51 on our purchase, or 27% off list price. The promotional savings (non-manufacturer coupons) were worth $22.50 Not a bad for something that only took a couple of minutes of prep!
After using Cub Foods digital coupons I was impressed with how easy it was to load the coupons before heading to the store and how much time was saved by only needing the cashier to scan it once. Our cashier even made a comment about how much easier it was to scan the rewards card compared to a stack of coupons.

I am definitely OK with the Minnesota advice. It looks like Cub foods will be the main option now, with Rainbow being bought out by Cub foods.
No Nonsense Landlord Glad you are liking the Minnesota-centered article. I heard about the Cub Foods acquisition of Rainbow! It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the Rainbow stores and what they decide to change.
