Dateline: Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Brook Park, OH Giant Eagle on Snow Road.

Giant Eagle is a large grocery chain located in the great states of:

• OH
• PA
• WV
• MD

+

Tracfone, a prepaid cell phone, includes hands-free headset (a $10.00 value) for $4.99 (with Giant Eagle Advantage card).

No sales tax was charged (at 7¾%, the sales tax would have been 39¢).

+

I found this item on a standalone display in Giant Eagle’s International aisle.

My guess is this display could be anywhere.

If you do not see it … ask!
