Shopping Tips for Cub Foods
Master the My Cub Rewards App
- The biggest mistake shoppers make is not using the app.
- The Hack: Cub uses "loaded-to-card" coupons. You must clip the digital coupons in the My Cub Rewards app before you scan your card at the register. These coupons can often be stacked with Weekly Ad sale prices for "double-dip" savings.
Fuel Rewards (Save at the Pump)
- For every $100 you spend at Cub using your My Cub Rewards card, you earn a 10-cent per gallon discount at participating Holiday Stationstores.
- Pro-Tip: During certain "Fuel Multiplier" weeks (check the Weekly Ad!), you can earn 2x or 3x points, making it easy to save $1.00 per gallon on your next fill-up.
The "Advantage" of Paper Coupons
- Unlike some discount retailers, Cub Foods is very coupon-friendly. You can use manufacturer paper coupons on top of their Weekly Ad prices. If you have a My Cub Rewards digital coupon and a paper coupon for the same item, the system is designed to take the one with the higher value.
Shop the "Reduced for Quick Sale" Bins
- Check the back corners of the dairy and meat departments early in the morning. Cub is aggressive about marking down items near their "best by" date. Look for the orange stickers to save 50% or more on premium proteins and organic milk.
- The Cub Foods Identity: What Makes It Unique?
- To understand Cub Foods, you have to understand its history as the pioneer of the "discount warehouse" concept. While it has evolved into a full-service supermarket, it retains a unique identity that separates it from national chains like Kroger or Walmart.
"The Meat People" Heritage
- Cub Foods is famous for its butcher shops. While many national chains have moved to pre-packaged, "case-ready" meats, many Cub locations still feature on-site butchers. Their branding as "The Meat People" isn't just a slogan; they are known for custom cuts, high-quality USDA Choice beef, and a wider variety of fresh poultry and pork than typical discount grocers.
Minnesota’s Hometown Connection
- Cub is deeply rooted in the Upper Midwest. They prioritize local partnerships, meaning you will find a much larger selection of Minnesota-made products—from local honey and craft beers to "Pearson’s Candy" and local dairy—compared to national competitors.
The "Fuel Rewards" Ecosystem
- What truly keeps customers coming back to Cub is their partnership with Holiday Stationstores. By shopping the Weekly Ad and using the "My Cub Rewards" card, shoppers earn significant discounts on gas. In a region where people drive long distances, the ability to save $0.10 to $1.00 per gallon just by buying groceries is a massive differentiator.
- What is Cub Foods Famous For? (The Must-Buy Products)
- When shoppers open the Cub Foods Weekly Ad, they are usually looking for these specific, "legendary" items that have made the store a household name:
Legendary Fried Chicken
- Ask any Minnesotan where to get the best grocery store fried chicken, and the answer is almost always Cub. It is crispy, seasoned perfectly, and sold in massive family-style buckets. It is a staple for local tailgating parties and Sunday dinners.
The Bakery & "Lumberjack" Donuts
- Cub’s bakery is famous for its scale. They are known for their oversized donuts and pastries, often referred to as "Minnesota-sized." Their Apple Fritters and Glazed Donuts are high-margin, high-traffic items that are frequently featured on the front page of the Weekly Ad.
Wild Harvest (Organic) & Essential Everyday
- Cub offers high-quality private-label brands that compete directly with national names:
- Wild Harvest: Their organic and "free-from" brand. It offers affordable alternatives to brands you’d find at Whole Foods, especially in the dairy and snack aisles.
- Essential Everyday: The go-to brand for pantry staples (flour, sugar, canned goods) that are consistently priced lower than any other item in the store.
"Quick-and-Easy" Meal Kits
- Cub excels at pre-prepped meals. Their deli section features "Grab & Go" kits—like pre-marinated meats, kabobs, and gourmet salads—that are designed for busy families who want a home-cooked meal without the prep time.
