St. Louis grocery wins for fall 2026: birthday donut, points, weekly tailgate prizes and food pickup help.
St. Louis shoppers have several grocery giveaways to check in fall 2026. The updated list covers Schnucks, Dierbergs, SHOP 'n SAVE and Save A Lot, plus area food distributions.
A store reward is different from a sweepstakes. Rewards give a set benefit after account steps, while a sweepstakes gives a chance to win.

How do store rewards pay out in St. Louis?
Schnucks Rewards gives members a fresh-baked donut coupon in the app during their birthday week. Schnucks says members must register a birthday and clip the coupon, as described on the Schnucks Rewards page. Dierbergs Rewards gives members 15 points per $1 spent in-store, online or through delivery partners.
Dierbergs Markets says points become usable at 1,500 points for cash off or free groceries in the Rewards Marketplace, according to the Dierbergs Rewards terms. Both need a free account and app access. The donut is tied to one birthday week, while Dierbergs points depend on how much you spend.
Which sweepstakes are open or just closed?
Save A Lot ran its Score-the-Store Shopping Spree Sweepstakes from Sept. 20 to Oct. 13, 2026.
Save A Lot says entry goes through the Save A Lot Rewards app, no purchase is necessary, and the winner is drawn Oct. 14, 2026, in the sweepstakes announcement. That date window means the entry period was still open on Oct.
4, 2026. It is a chance to win a shopping spree, not free groceries for every entrant. Boulevard Brewing ran an Aug.
17 to Sept. 30, 2026 sweepstakes with Schnucks and Dierbergs for Mizzou football game tickets. Boulevard Brewing says winners were to be notified the week of Oct.
1, 2026, so St. Louis shoppers should treat it as closed.
What is the weekly SHOP 'n SAVE giveaway?
SHOP 'n SAVE runs a Tailgate Zone Giveaway with two winners each week. SHOP 'n SAVE says each winner receives a tailgate spread worth up to $500 for game-day groceries, as listed in the Tailgate Zone Giveaway page. This is also a chance to win, not a storewide discount.
Check the entry form for age, residency, entry frequency and weekly cutoff times. Enter once per stated period rather than stocking up for an entry. Keep the confirmation screen or email until winners post.
Where can households get no-cost groceries?
St. Louis Area Foodbank holds Food On The Move walk-through and Food Fair drive-through distributions. The Foodbank says all are welcome with no personal-information verification, while supplies last.
Operation Food Search points hungry residents to its 24-hour Hunger Hotline at (314) 726-5355, text line 785-503-3310, and find-food map serving nearly 200 partner pantries. Operation Food Search notes that popular distributions can run out, with one Bridgeton event serving more than 200 families before food was gone. Arrive early and confirm the listing before driving.
Bring bags, boxes or a cart, and check pickup hours for walk-through versus drive-through lines.
How do you claim without missing the limit?
Small steps matter most at redemption. App coupons, point balances and event stocks can change by date and store.
- Clip the Schnucks birthday coupon in the app before the birthday week ends.
- Track Dierbergs points and the 1,500-point threshold before checkout.
- Enter weekly drawings before the cutoff, then save proof of entry.
- Confirm Foodbank and pantry times that morning, since supplies are limited.
