What Is A Tom Thumb Weekly Ad?

The Tom Thumb weekly ad is an online resource that compiles all the most recent and active Tom Thumb deals this week. It works and appears much similar to other weekly ads. 

There are several promo types included in this Tom Thumb sales ad:

  • Discounts 
  • Mix or Match
  • Rewards Points
  • Buy 1 or 2 and Get 1 
  • Store and Manufacturer Coupons

Here are some of the things you can glean from each coupon or deal from this Tom Thumb ad: 

  • Product name
  • Product description and specifications
  • Limit per coupon
  • Applicability on digital or in-store purchases 
  • Final price 
  • Amount saved 
  • Product picture

These promos expire within a week after they are posted. Thus, check the site or app every Wednesday for a new set. There is no Tom Thumb monthly ad; hence, staying updated every week is your best shot at being the first to know about these offers. 

Is the Tom Thumb Weekly Ad Interactive?

The Tom Thumb weekly ad – like other stores’ weekly ads – is interactive if you access it from the store’s website. You can click on the individual deals or coupons, and they’ll open on the side to provide more details. 

While deals are on the sidebar, an “Add to List” button appears. It makes it easier to save promos to your account and redeem them when you need them. 

Meanwhile, you can tell coupons apart from other offers because of the scissor icon on the top right. When you select the coupon, there’s a “Clip Coupon” option instead of “Add to List.” There’s also a “See More Info” button to learn more about Tom Thumbs’ coupon usage guidelines. 

If you don’t want to go online for the ad, you can print it, like a Tom Thumb flyer! The downside is it’s not interactive, so you can’t click on an item and expect it to pop up with more details.

How to Use the Tom Thumb Weekly Ad

Using the weekly ad to find Tom Thumb sales this week is easy. Here’s how:

  1. Become a Tom Thumb for U member.
  2. Open the Tom Thumb website.
  3. Select Weekly Ad on the navigation bar.  
  4. Once you’re in, you can use the scrollbar, mouse scroller, or up and down keys to peruse the ad. 
  5. If you find deals you are interested in, click on them and read the details on the sidebar.
  6. You may add to your list or clip to save them. 
  7. Redeem the coupons or deals before they expire. 

The weekly ad and individual promo sidebars indicate the promo period of the offers. To avoid expired deals, you can take note of the ad’s last day so you know that you should spend your saved promos by that date. 

When you clip coupons or save deals, they appear in your account. Thus, make sure you have the Tom Thumb app.

But how do you do that? Here are some tips: 

  • Earn points: If shopping on-site, you can scan your Member Card to earn points. Meanwhile, you can provide your mobile number registered with Tom Thumb if buying online. You can use those points later to get discounts on your orders or purchases. 
  • Redeem rewards: You can redeem rewards via the store app or website. Look for and click the “Rewards” or “Member” button. Then, select the “See All” or “Redeem” option to find rewards you can clip or apply. 
  • Clip coupons: The coupons in the weekly ad are for members only. You can clip and claim them using your app. There may also be other coupons on the website or app. 
  • Check deals: Tom Thumb for U members are given promo recommendations based on their shopping habits. This makes it easier to discover and enjoy deals most applicable to them. 

3. Plan Your Tom Thumb Shopping Trip

Even with all the Fresh Pass and Tom Thumb for U perks, they can’t beat the classic way of saving money: proper financial planning. Before you head out to the nearest Tom Thumb, you must plan when to go there, what to buy, and what coupons or deals you can use to make savings. 

You can even use the weekly ad to plan! It has prices, so it’s a great idea to find things you need in the ad and calculate a budget based on what you can find. When you stick to that budget, it’s easier to avoid overspending. 

Moreover, the sooner you go after the ad is published, the better. That way, you can avoid running out of the promoted item. You’ll also get it while it’s at its best quality.
