ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The parent company of Winn-Dixie stores is giving away some free groceries in exchange for one or two pokes of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Southeastern Grocers announced Wednesday that it will give customers a coupon for up to $15 in SE Grocers products for receiving two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines and $10 off for getting the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The offer applies at Winn-Dixie, Fresco y Más and Harveys Supermarket in-store pharmacies.
This latest incentive follows promotions other companies have offered in recent weeks in an effort to nudge people toward getting a lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine. Target is offering its customers a $5 coupon for getting a vaccine at an in-store CVS location.
If food sounds more appealing, Krispy Kreme is giving away free doughnuts throughout the rest of the year with just a flash of a COVID-19 vaccination card.
