Pick ‘n Save Monopoly Game Promotion Returns for 2012
Pick ‘n Save has brought back the Monopoly game promotion again for 2012. From May 20 through August 29, 2012 (or while ticket supplies last), Pick ‘n Save shoppers will be able to collect Monopoly game pieces with the chance of winning prizes valued at over $4,500,000.
To help you understand the various aspects of the promotion, including different prizes and how to obtain game tickets, we have outlined the details below. In addition, we have detailed the differences between this year’s game and last year’s game.
How the Pick ‘n Save Monopoly Game Works
Each time you shop at Pick ‘n Save during the game period, you’ll receive a Monopoly game ticket. Each game ticket contains four game markers. You’ll need to affix the game markers to the game board (which can be obtained from your cashier or the service counter). Each game ticket also contains either a special coupon offer, two bonus tickets on your next visit, or a coupon for a free product.
You can earn bonus game tickets by purchasing specified bonus items. For example, some weeks last year, 2-liter bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, or Mountain Dew were on sale for $1 each (advertised as 10 for $10). Since these products were bonus items, you would receive one game ticket for each 2-liter bottle that you purchased. There is no limit to the number of game tickets you can receive.
Monopoly Game Prizes
Pick ‘n Save advertises that this game gives you the chance to win from over $4,500,000 in prizes plus tens of thousands of dollars of special coupon offers. Prizes include:
- 1 – $250,000 Dream Home
- 2 – $50,000 Cash Prizes
- 2 – $50,000 Vehicles
- 3 – $30,000 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
- 3 – $25,000 Kitchen Makeovers
- plus hundreds of other prizes including TVs, iPads, computers, and cash prizes
The Monopoly game also features over 1.8 million instant win tickets for grocery prizes. The instant win grocery prizes are each valued at $0.75 to $3.79.
Differences From the 2011 Monopoly Game
Roundy’s has nearly doubled the number of game pieces available this year. 115 million pieces will be distributed in 2012 versus 60 million in 2011. They have also increased the prizes, offering $4.5 million of prizes compared to $2.8 million last year.
Reactions to Last Year’s Monopoly Promotion
The 2011 Monopoly game was met with harsh criticism. Dozens of readers weighed in last year and expressed their frustration with the game. Complaints carried a common theme – the process of adding the game markers to the board is tedious and time consuming, and the chance of actually winning a large prize was very slim.

More Information on Proposed Milwaukee Area Meijer Stores
Proposed Franklin Meijer store (click for a larger image)
As we posted about last week, Meijer is planning a major expansion into the Milwaukee area. Meijer operates nearly 200 large supercenters throughout the midwest. Currently there are no Meijer stores in Wisconsin, however that could soon change.
Meijer stores offer grocery and department store goods, and oftentimes feature a detached Meijer operated gas station. The typical makeup of a Meijer store is approximately 60% groceries and 40% other products. As a point of comparison, a Walmart Supercenter typically is 40% groceries and 60% other products.
Franklin Meijer
Earlier this week, representatives from Meijer presented their plans for a 192,000 square foot store to Franklin officials. Although some Franklin Alderman expressed concerns about the architecture, landscaping, and proposed business hours, Meijer was encouraged to proceed with their plans. If all necessary approvals are received, the Franklin Meijer could open as early as 2014.
Grafton Meijer
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that a Meijer could be built in Grafton on Port Washington Road. Plans for a Grafton Meijer don’t seem to be as far along as the Franklin location, with no formal proposal having being presented to Grafton officials as of yet.
Meijer Distribution Center
We have also learned that Meijer is considering building a distribution center in the Racine or Kenosha area. According to the Business Journal, Meijer is seeking a 100 acre site to construct a 1 million square foot distribution center. The article states that Meijer currently has four distribution centers that service their nearly 200 stores. If all of the distribution centers serve roughly the same number of stores, it could mean that upwards of 50 stores could be served from the new distribution center!
All of this is great news for consumers in southeastern Wisconsin. More grocery stores mean more competition. Not only do prices react favorably to competition, but service does too.
