Just as we’re swinging into Frozen Food Month and enjoying great stock-up prices on frozen… has freezer envy set in? Wish you bought one at Jewel last month but didn’t? Or did you buy one, fill it, and decide you could really use another?
Both Ultra Foods and Strack and Van Til surprised us all today when they announced their OWN freezer deals! These are very similar to Jewel’s deal, and here’s the scoop:
Beginning March 4, 2010: Purchase a Haier freezer for $149.99 and we will fill it with free coupons valued at $150, and an additional $30 in money-saving coupons. Limit 1 total per customer. 5.3 cu ft capacity holds approximately 185.5 lbs of frozen food. Vinyl coated wire basket. Easy access defrost drain. While supplies last. No rainchecks. (More freezer specs here.)
This is the first time Ultra and Strack have jumped into the freezer-deal game, but it sounds like an excellent buy! No word yet on whether these are manufacturer coupons, but the products in the ads are similar to those offered during Jewel’s deal:
- Edy’s Dibs
- Kraft Bagelfuls
- Gorton’s Grilled Fillets
- Home Run Inn pizza
- Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches
- Jose Ole Chimichanga
- Old Orchard frozen juice concentrate
- Super Pretzel
Thanks to reader JMGray74 for alerting us to the sale and reader Ken for scanning the ad!

I had ALMOST made my peace with not getting one from Jewel! I have wavered back and forth and back and forth. Then I read on Sunday that the few Jewel ones that remained were going back today. I said OK that’s it – maybe next year. Arrrggg! LOL :0)
stealfinder says
. . . but does it come with a scoop?!
quiltty66 says
how do you get these to print? I am only printing a shopping list with a line under describing “the coupon – printing” but that’s all, nothing else prints. Since they are manfacturer coupons we should be able to use at other stores.
Coupon-lady says
Does Ultra Foods have some type of card you need for their savings? Like Jewel has a preferred card.
Coupon Maven says
A reader emailed to tell me that Strack and Van Til has the same freezer deal running, starting 3/4 as well!

I spent the weekend looking for a good price and finally decided to wait for next year… BUT NOW – If I can get one, I only have to wait a couple of days!
Thanks so much for this info!
lucky lady says
What happened to the list from the Jewel freezer deal? I can’t find it.
szubee says
Will this freezer fit in a 4-door sedan trunk? Has anyone taken one home in the trunk of a Toyota Camry? Or do we need a small truck or SUV? Thanks for any help you can give to answer this for me… :)

My Dear Wonderful Fabulous Hubby got up early (a really hard thing for him) today and was the first to get a freezer at the Wheaton/Winfield County Farm/Roosevelt Ultra. He was the only one, and said they have 19 left. I’m looking at the coupons and they’re GREAT. He just brought it in the house, and managed to bring it home in the trunk of our Buick. I have to go to work, so I can’t type the list now. If no one has done it later in the day, I’ll do it then. Woo hoo!!! One more thing–looks like the $150 of coupons are MFRs while the $30 are Ultra store coupons. This is going to be good!
