Sweetbay Supermarket will be offering incentives for customers using their economic stimulus checks to shop for groceries.
Shoppers have two choices:
1. Get a 10 percent gift card bonus when you convert all of your economic stimulus check to Sweetbay gift cards.
For example,
| Amount | | Gift Cards |
| $600 | | $660 |
| $900 | | $990 |
| $1200 | | $1320 |
| $1800 | | $1980 |
2. Get a 5 percent gift card bonus when you convert half the value of your economic stimulus check to Sweetbay gift cards and the other to cash.
For example,
| Amount | | Cash | | Gift Cards |
| $600 | | $300 | | $315 |
| $900 | | $450 | | $472.50 |
| $1200 | | $600 | | $630 |
| $1800 | | $900 | | $945 |
Gift cards will be available for this offer in $300 increments. Only government stimulus checks will be accepted. Sweetbay is also waiving check-cashing fees. Customers will need to provide proper identification.
The promotion ends August 31, 2008.
