Monthly free item at Tom Thumb
Tom Thumb for U is Albertsons' free loyalty program for its Irving stores. According to Tom Thumb program details, members get one free grocery item each month worth up to $10 plus an annual birthday treat worth up to $10. The birthday treat requires two steps.
Members must add month and day birthdate to the account and make at least one in-store or online purchase with the account in the prior 12 months, according to Tom Thumb/Albertsons. Plan one qualifying purchase before your birthday month.
How Sprouts Rewards pays for groceries
Sprouts Rewards is free to join at Sprouts stores including DFW and Irving locations. According to Sprouts rewards terms, members earn 5 points per $1 on eligible in-store and online purchases, with 1,000 points converting to a $2 reward. That reward is not earned on everything.
Delivery fees, taxes, adult beverages, postage, gift cards, and gift certificates are excluded from earning, according to Sprouts Farmers Market. Check your receipt categories if points look lower than spending.
