My Updated Review of Giant Eagle’s Curbside Services and How to Maybe Get Free Delivery

Since the pandemic, I’ve been a pretty consistent Giant Eagle shopper, predominantly using Curbside Express or Home Delivery. I like supporting a locally owned company, a unionized company, and a company that includes people with disabilities in their workforce.

File this under ‘things I thought everyone knew’ One reason I tend to buy gift cards from Giant Eagle or Target (or Amazon sometimes) is that the recipient can use the card to buy a gift card. Do I know what video game your kids plays that requires a ‘refill’ gift card? No, I do […]

That Time We Merged Our Separate Giant Eagle Advantage Cards

Giant Eagle Advantage Card Shared Account

I remember early in our relationship days, Ledcat and I went grocery shopping together at the Waterfront Giant Eagle near my home.

I Tried Giant Eagle’s Grocery Home Delivery Service and Here’s How It Went

Giant Eagle Curbside Express Delivery

We had the week two weeks from hell dealing with #CeilingCollapse2018 and the ensuing fallout (pun – ha!) so I decided it was a time to let someone else do the necessary grocery shopping.
