Giant Food said Thursday it will double the number of items it puts on sale each week. The region's largest grocer said it is part of a new marketing initiative to give cash-strapped consumers better bargains. The grocer will also add shelf tags and signs in its stores. It also redesigned its value card and is giving users of the card a one-time 5 percent off their purchase when they use the new card.
