ST. LOUIS — Missouri residents who bought alcohol at Schnucks in the last seven years could be owed money.
Schnucks reached a settlement in a class-action lawsuit that alleged the company used misleading price comparisons on alcohol in print ads, circulars, in-store shelf signs and on its website. The company denied the claims but agreed to pay a $4 million settlement.
As part of the settlement, Schnucks customers who purchased alcohol any time between Dec. 3, 2015, and Feb. 15, 2023, are eligible for at least $11 and up to $72 depending on how many purchases they made.
Anyone who files a valid claim will be eligible for the minimum payout of $11. A second payout tier for $25 will require applicants to provide proof that they purchased between 25 and 55 alcohol products in the timeframe. A $72 payout is for applicants that prove they purchased more than 56 units of alcohol.

The deadline to submit a claim, exclude yourself from the settlement or object to the settlement is Sept. 8.
