Vons Food and Drug is already great for savings, but with some extra tips, you can get all you need to feed your family and not feel like you are spending too much, including gas with their Save at the Pump rewards program.
Does Vons offer coupons?
Yes, they do and plenty! First of all you should check Vons ad for paper coupons and then check online for electronic discount codes. The digital coupons can be loaded right into your VonsClub Card and always carried with you.
How does Vons rewards program work?
First you have to accumulate some points – 1 point per $1 spent on groceries, 2 points per $1 spent on eligible gift cards, and 3 points per $1 spent on pharmacy items.
Once you are done with accumulation, this is how your gas rewards will be distributed:
- $0.10 off per gallon with 100 points
- $0.20 off per gallon with 200 points
- $1.00 off per gallon with 1,000 points
If there are no Vons gas stations close by, you can take your points to the closest Chevron or Texaco and get $0.20 off per gallon. These kinds of discounts add up really fast and not many grocery retailers have them.
Is clearance section good at Vons?
Vons always has some products on clearance with heavily marked down prices. The store has plenty of signs informing about clearance and pointing to those products on sale. Meat is one thing that is often on clearance. The meats can be discounted as much as 50-75%, so what’s not to love? Those prices without even any coupons are hard to beat, so it makes sense to load up, replenish your pantry or refrigerator, and grab a gift card on the way out just to save on the next gas fill up.
Every shopping brings you closer to fuel discount too, so there is a double win here. Some people choose to wait for 1,000 points to get $1 off each gallon, but that’s up to them and their personal choice.
One other good thing about fuel is that you can occasionally find ads for extra fuel rewards, like $0.20 for $75 or 4x the points for buying gift cards.
Does Vons deliver and can we get free discounted delivery?
Yes, Vons delivers groceries ordered online. New customers get first order delivered for free as long as the order is $30 or more with code FREE. For later orders always look for discounts in “Deals” section and when you reserve your order time during the checkout. If Instacart is handling your delivery, all discounts and fees will then come from them, not Vons.
Do you have to have a minimum order amount for delivery?
Yes, the minimum amount for your delivery order is at least $30 before taxes and fees. This number can change at any time and some orders might require different amounts to be processed and delivered. Items like tobacco, alcohol, and fluid dairy products are excluded from the order total, which means that you have to have $30 worth of other items besides those. If you choose to have Instacart deliver your order, you will have to go by their established minimum order amount.
Does Vons offer loyalty card or account price savings online?
Yes, you should register online with your loyalty card or account. Loyalty numbers are automatically generated when you don’t enter one, but if that doesn’t work, you can call customer service and get the issue taken care of. The amount of savings online and in-store differs.
Do Just for U offers apply online?
As long as your Just for U account and the one you used for delivery and pickup registration are the same, your Just for U offers will apply online too. You will see your savings amount on the receipt you will get during the pickup or delivery. Customer service will be able to answer any questions you might have.
Can you get the same day delivery?
Yes, Vons delivers every day of the week between 8 am and 10 pm in most locations. The same day delivery is available, but is a subject to change. You can choose your delivery window during the checkout process.

Guide to SoCal Grocery Stores
There are plenty of grocery stores and chains in and around Los Angeles. If finding one you like the most is not complicated enough, try reading some discounts and weekly sales flyers. They all are a doozy and can make you more confused than happily saving. It seems that all those complicated networks and webs of coupons and discounts are that way on purpose – to make sure we can never ever take advantage of all of them. And of course we can’t because they have too many limitations, requirements, and they also change all the time, which requires new studying every week.
Most of the stores feature their own coupons, accept manufacturer coupons, offer loyalty program deals, manage club cards, enroll you in contests, and have various savings deals, like buy one, get one ½ off. We are here to help you make sense of those various promotions and find the best methods of savings that would work for you.
All the stores are guilty when it comes to complicated and confusing flyers, but Albertsons, Ralphs, and Vons/Pavilions take the cake. They frequently have mix& match deals, but only for select groups of items and if you use store loyalty card. There are also frequent contests for cash prizes and trips, which we have heard of anybody actually winning. There are dollar amounts to be saved when you buy two items of select cosmetic brands and similar deals like that. You can also get free movie tickets when your shopping cart reaches some amount, but you have to use the store card and shop select brands only. Finally, you can often save 30% off wine and spirits, but only when you buy 6 bottles of them. And why would you need six bottles at a time, unless you are hosting a pool party.
Sounds complicated yet? Granted, you probably don’t need to worry about getting every deal at every grocery store, but savings are there for a reason and your reason is to save as much as possible. The best way to go about it is figure out what works best where and proceed with that.
Let’s talk about each grocery store individually and how to get best deals there, shall we?
Albertsons
To take advantage of various confusing offers you have to have their Preferred Savings Card. It’s free to acquire and is tied to your phone number, so you will never forget it. The store does not allow coupon stacking, but will accept manufacturer coupons. Once in a while you will receive some coupons if you have their Preferred Savings Card, so yes, get it.
Gelsons
This store is striving to be less confusing. They offer sales prices to all customers, no loyalty card needed. They also mail coupons to nearby addresses. Sometimes the coupon offer can be $5 off $25 and it’s not found in the store flyer. You should go to the customer service and ask to be put on a mailing list if you want to enjoy discounts like that.
Ralphs
Same as at Albertsons, you will need the rewards card to be eligible for deals and sales. The store accepts manufacturer coupons, but does not allow stacking. Sometimes the store has a temporary agreement with Shell gas stations and offers customers fuel points for shopping. There are always deals with rewards card and special coupons get sent to customers’ homes based on their shopping patterns.
Sprouts
This one is easy – there is no loyalty card and coupons are offered on their social media pages, so you should follow them there. They also accept manufacturer coupons. The best time to shop there is Wednesdays when customers get deals from last week and this week, so double the goodness.
Target
The retail giant accepts manufacturer coupons and runs its own deals sometimes, such as buy a lot and get something for free. You can find those deals in Sunday paper or store flyer. Target credit card owners get 5% off every order.
Trader Joe’s
This is as simple as it gets – no loyalty card, no store coupons, no points, and no sales. The prices are low already and the merchandise gets switched around all the time. They do accept manufacturer coupons. There is no weekly flyer, but customers get Fearless Flyer newsletter in the mail.
Vons/Pavilions
Customers have to have a store club card to get deals. It’s free and can be accessed with the phone number. The coupons can be stacked as long as the amount is less than $1. Vons/ Pavilions send weekly fliers with coupons for clipping.
Whole Foods
The store doesn’t offer weekly fliers, but you will find sales and discounted items at the beginning of the store. There is also a coupon book that comes out six times per year and is called “The Whole Deal!”. You can find it by the registers. The store also offers online coupons that can be printed for use in-store. Whole Foods accepts manufacturers’ coupons, so try to find them before your shopping trip.
