Just as we're swinging into Frozen Food Month and enjoying great stock-up prices on frozen... has freezer envy set in? Wish you bought one at Jewel last month but didn't? Or did you buy one, fill it, and decide you could really use another?

Both Ultra Foods and Strack and Van Til surprised us all today when they announced their OWN freezer deals! These are very similar to Jewel's deal, and here's the scoop:

Beginning March 4, 2010: Purchase a Haier freezer for $149.99 and we will fill it with free coupons valued at $150, and an additional $30 in money-saving coupons. Limit 1 total per customer. 5.3 cu ft capacity holds approximately 185.5 lbs of frozen food. Vinyl coated wire basket. Easy access defrost drain. While supplies last. No rainchecks. (More freezer specs here.)

This is the first time Ultra and Strack have jumped into the freezer-deal game, but it sounds like an excellent buy! No word yet on whether these are manufacturer coupons, but the products in the ads are similar to those offered during Jewel's deal:

• Edy's Dibs
• Kraft Bagelfuls
• Gorton's Grilled Fillets
• Home Run Inn pizza
• Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches
• Jose Ole Chimichanga
• Old Orchard frozen juice concentrate
• Super Pretzel
