9 Food Lion BOGO Deals Worth the Trip for Tennessee Shoppers

Some Food Lion BOGO tags save pocket change.

Others save enough to notice on a bank statement, scattered across a dozen different aisles.

These are the Food Lion BOGO deals that, in our opinion, are worth the trip for Tennessee shoppers.

Note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.

1. Frozen Shrimp Bags

Food Lion’s freezer case carries a BOGO deal Tennessee shoppers build a whole stop around.

Bagged shrimp, raw or already cooked, rotates through the weekly BOGO lineup on a regular basis, and a 16-ounce bag typically runs close to $9.

Half of it comes free.

Shrimp keeps for months in a freezer, so a shopper from Cleveland to Clarksville can grab two bags today and freeze the extra bag for whenever a weeknight dinner runs short on ideas.

Food Lion tends to bring the deal back around a holiday weekend or a seafood promotion.

2. Pompeian Olive Oil

A bottle of Pompeian extra virgin olive oil is one of the pricier tags Food Lion runs as a BOGO.

A 32-ounce bottle typically lists for around $14.

That’s around a $7 savings.

Olive oil doesn’t spoil the way fresh food does, so the second bottle sits in the pantry for months until the first bottle runs dry.

A bottle that size covers months of everyday cooking for most households, so the second bottle goes straight into the pantry instead of the cart next month.

3. Pepperidge Farm Frozen Cakes

Pepperidge Farm frozen cakes turn up in Food Lion’s BOGO lineup often enough to watch for, tucked into the freezer case instead of the bakery shelf up front.

A cake in the 19-ounce range usually costs a little over $4, and the BOGO tag brings the second cake down to about $2.

Both cakes freeze fine.

A frozen cake defrosts on the counter in under an hour, so the extra cake works for a birthday or a Sunday dinner without a special trip to the bakery counter.

4. Sabra Hummus and Guacamole

Sabra’s hummus and guacamole tubs are one of the more dependable refrigerated BOGO picks at Food Lion.

A container generally runs around $4 on its own.

The second tub costs nothing.

Guacamole and salsa cups from the same shelf of brands cycle in and out with it, so scanning the whole dip section before checkout can turn up more than one match.

Pair it with a bag of tortilla chips, and a Tennessee tailgate spread is half paid for already.

5. Orville Redenbacher’s Popcorn

Movie night gets cheaper whenever Food Lion runs a BOGO on Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn.

A box of six microwave bags usually runs close to $6, and the BOGO tag drops the second box to around $3.

That’s a second movie covered.

Unopened bags keep well past the sell-by date, so the extra box works fine as a pantry stash for a weeknight when nobody wants to cook.

It’s one of several snack-aisle items that cycle through the BOGO lineup across the year, alongside chips and cookies from other name brands.

6. Thomas' English Muffins and Bagels

Food Lion's breakfast-bread BOGO rotates between Thomas' English muffins and bagels, and either the muffins or the bagels can carry the deal in a given week.

A six-pack typically runs close to $6, so a free second pack turns two weeks of breakfast into one trip.

Both freeze well.

Toss the extra pack in the freezer, and a toaster brings a frozen muffin or bagel back to normal in under two minutes once the first pack runs out.

7. Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables

Not every Food Lion BOGO tag lives in the snack aisle.

Birds Eye Steamfresh frozen vegetable blends cycle into the deal every few weeks, and a 12-ounce microwave bag usually costs close to $3 on its own.

A second bag rides free.

Steaming a bag takes about five minutes in the microwave, so a weeknight side dish comes together without a second trip to the store.

It's a fast way to round out a dinner that's already covered on protein.

8. Cheez-It and Ritz Crackers

Cheez-It, Ritz, Wheat Thins, and Chips Ahoy trade the BOGO spot back and forth almost every week at Food Lion.

At least one of the four is typically running the deal at any given time.

A box in this lineup typically lists between $5 and $6, so the free second box saves close to that much outright.

The second box is free.

A manufacturer coupon stacked on top of the BOGO tag can knock the second box down close to free.

A second box keeps for months past the sell-by date, so setting it aside in the pantry costs nothing but shelf space.

9. Frozen Pizza Night

DiGiorno and Tombstone both cycle through Food Lion's frozen pizza BOGO throughout the year.

A pizza this size usually runs around $10, and the BOGO tag turns that single price into two pizzas, about $5 each.

Dinner's covered twice.

Two frozen pizzas cover two separate weeknights for a household that would otherwise be ordering delivery, and the freezer holds both without any rush to cook the second pizza right away.

Shop & Earn's Tennessee Catch

One piece of the Food Lion loyalty program works differently for Tennessee shoppers than it does two states over.

Shop & Earn rewards, the monthly cash-back offers that load automatically onto a shopper's free MVP loyalty card, don't apply toward dairy purchases in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, or Virginia.

That's one exception statewide.

A gallon of milk or a block of cheese won't move the needle toward that cash back in this state.
