The free holiday entree (Easter ham or turkey, kosher chicken,
etc.) now requires $400 of purchases in the four weeks preceding
Easter, which is normally the four weeks preceding Passover. Not
this year. So if you want the kosher chicken, you have to spend
$400 even before they have put out the Passover food (which
definitely boosted your spending). The one bright point is they
will let people redeem their points for the kosher chicken until
Passover, even though the usual deadline is Easter.
(This part is not the supermarket's fault; blame Pope Gregory
XIII.)
The Greek Orthodox church has an extra rule that Easter must come after Passover.
