Here we go. From the greatpeople.me website:

Our premium corporate brand, Private Selection, is being refreshed and relaunched in September and special promotions are planned to let customers and associates know about our new and improved products.

As part of this initiative, associates will receive - for free - three Private Selection products. The high-value products are for Private Selection ice cream (48 ounce container, any variety), coffee (12-ounce whole and ground bags, exlcudes K-cups) and pasta sauce (any variety of 24-ounce pasta sauce or 16.9-ounce alfredo sauce).

The offer is already loaded on your Associate Shopper Card, so there is no need to download any digital coupons for these free items. Because the offer is already loaded, you are ready to redeem at your favorite store. The products can be redeemed August 19 through September 14.

There was also something in the meeting about buying a product and receiving a free Kroger brand product next week. I must have been not paying attention more than I thought and got the two mixed up.

The free product thing is in the fliers already, there should be advertising signs throughout the store also

HAHAHAHAHAHA.  I posted a copy of the GreatPeople page at my store.  

It's part of my job to inform associates of this stuff.  It disappeared immediately.  I half believe they don't want us to know things.  

I had coworkers asking me about it first thing this morning because they'd heard from people at other stores.

A few days ago I saw in the huddle packet that associate's could get 3 free items for the next week or so, it was private selection items, one was pasta sauce, one was coffee, but i can't remember what the other one was. Does anyone know?

I probably won't find it again since they only put it in the packet one day...

I got the coffee and pasta sauce tonight, that coffee was $6.99!! i was surprised that they were just giving it away like that.

 They think if you try it and like it, you'll buy it again. Well, they thought wrong.  Many of the Pervert Selection items are good but they're way overpriced.  The quality simply doesn't justify the high price.  The bakery is supposed to be getting in a new kind of gourmet cookie.  They're going to be 6/ $3.99.  Unless they're jumbo cookies, which according to the pictures they're not, people are not going to pay that much for 6 lousy cookies, no matter how good they are.
