ps i dont want to count my cereal but i do have 4 kids and 8 childcare kids i feed b-fast so that my reason shhhhhh

Last week I bought the cereal and the RETAIL price of the cereal ALL counted towards the $25. Even when she hit total and the $10 came off, my coupons all doubled.

[Kmchamplin]

Okay...I just posted this on my blog and am posting it here too in case people don't have any coupons.

My plan is this...
8 cereals for $20 - 8 $1 off cereal coupons - $5 double of the $1 - $10 off when you buy 8 cereals = NEGATIVE $3! So I can add in 5 pops $7.45 and end up paying $4.45 for all of that!

Another scenario is below...

8 cereals/cookies @ $20
- $3 coupons ( 2 x $1.50/2 printable Mini Wheats, all bran, or raisin bran cereals)
- $4 coupons (2 x $1 printable Raisin Bran Cereal DOUBLED)
- $1 coupon (1 x $1/2 printable Keebler cookie)
- $10 when you buy 8
2 Eggo Bake Shop $4
- $4 coupons (2 x $1 printable Eggo coupon DOUBLED)
2 Bush Beans $1.98
- $2 coupon (1 x $1/2 printable coupon DOUBLED)

Total $1.98 plus any tax! You could go without the Bush Beans and then the Cookie coupon will DOUBLE making your total $ 1.00! You for sure want to make sure that FIVE coupons will be doubled.

You can also print off Coupons from Here for the $1 Eggo and the $1/2 Keebler® Fudge Shoppe® Cookie coupons. Then go HERE to print off two different Kellogg's coupons

Then head HERE to print off a $1/2 Bush Bake Bean coupon.

Be sure to print of two of each coupon by hitting the back button a couple of times or by going back to the same page again.

Okay...I need to do this deal. Now I'm really excited.

Karen,
Mine worked like that too last week. My big concern is whether the $20 will count toward the COKE DEAL (which requires a purchase of $25). Or whether it will just count the $10 that I'm actually spending. Although I won't be spending $10 because I, of course, will use coupons! I just remembered last week that the register took off the $10 once I had purchased my required number of cereals - so I didn't know how this would work for the Coke.

I really, really want to stock up on Coke!

[bbqgal]

Plan on getting the cereal even though I don't need them. Don't really care if the Qs double or not. On sale price is 4/10 I think. So 8 boxes will be 20 dollars, -10 instant, there are 8 Qs you can use and it's $2 for 8 boxes. My plan:

8 boxes cereal (8 $$1/1 Qs, double 4)
1 charcoal $5.88 - $2 off a bag Q (got the Q from a train)
1 free sausage (Q from AD, when you buy charcoal )
2 cans of bush beans ($/2, double) DH love to grill!

If I am lucky enough to get overage, OOP will be $1.48, if not, then $3.88

I am really excited for this cereal deal but I have a question for you experts. I am going to buy 8 boxes of Mini-Wheats and I have 8 $1Q plus I have 3 coupons that I got from a tearpad at Walmart that say save $2 on fresh fruit when you buy 2 boxes of Kelloggs cereal. I should be able to use those with the cereal coupons right? Do you think the cashier will give me problems? So I should get 8 boxes of cereal and $6.00 of fruit for $2.00.

Man! Wish I was going to be here, or needed cereal...this would be a great week to get cereal together for the food pantry. I have an early flight Wednesday. (plenty of coupons tho')

[M_M_S]

Jenny---It should work---those types of coupons usually work for me, or the cashier calls for an override.

Jenny...you will more than likely have problems with the coupons as the coupon is attached to the cereal. BUT in all reality, it should work because the coupon is for money off of the fruit, NOT the cereal. So I would hand over your 8 $1 coupons and then the fruit coupons.

[alattefun]

This is my first post ever

I'm really excited about this deal, but nervous that my coupons won't double if the $10 comes off... I seem to remember having that trouble before.

I wish I had 8 $1 off coupons!! Crazy! Mine won't look QUITE so fabulous as all your scenarios, but still good for me! Gotta love stocking up.

I did the cereal deal 5 times at 3 different Rainbow's and my coupons doubled every time. You are probably fine!

Sorry, I meant the PREVIOUS cereal deal with a $10.00 credit. Not the current deal. It was the same concept though.

[mtalk]

How many Kelloggs cereal do you all plan to get?

I think I have over 80 coupons - but I'm not sure I'll get that many!

[buncobabe]

How did you get 80 coupons??

[creativecoupons]

snoopywoman, did you have any problems with your $1.50/2 coupons? I know in the past they haven't wanted to take my IPs over $1.00 in savage. Wondering if it would help to being in the Redplum from Sunday where it talks about the IP.

[mnkid]

W St Paul, on South Robert, used the self-check.

Trip one
5 Coke products 12 pks, (rang these up first, immediately bounced back to 1.49 ea)
2 Raisin Bran
1 Corn Pops
1 Apple Jacks
2 Rice Krispies
2 Keebler Fudge Shop
buy 8 get 10.00 off immediately came off.
I had 5-1.00 coupons to double, and one 1.50/2. OOP 6.48, 53c of it was tax.

Trip two
5 Coke products
1 Rice Krispies
1 Frosted Flakes
1 Pop Tart
5 Raison Bran
10.00 came off for buying 8
I had 5-1.00 coupons to double, one 1.00 that didn't double, and 2-1.50. OOP was 3.98, 53c was tax.

[Bonniemn]

What cereals are included, Is it only the ones pictured? Or are all kellogs cereals 4 for $10? I know last week all General mills were included
(or the week before) But they weren't on sale .

[mnkid]

I had my scenario well plotted out for trip three this morning. 8 cans of Bush's beans, 99c ea, use 4 1.00/2 coupons doubled...free beans.

But the sign on the shelf said limit 2. I thought ....they can't mean that.....and filled the cart with my trip 3 items...8 Bush's, 2 Crystal Light, 1 Miracle Whip....That was it. The third can of beans I rang up was 1.99, not 99c. So they are dead serious about limit 2. I walked away from trip three and drove to work to regroup so I have only 2 cans of beans and 1 - 1.00/2 coupon per transaction.

[rach]

Yep, Rainbow's limit are set. The ads say Limit 2 thereafter $1.99. I too went to West St. Paul's self check out. MNKid we are going to run into each other one of these times. what time did you go?

[rach]

Snoopywoman and who ever else is getting the McCormick grill mates marinade packets, be careful because there are two varieties that are $.49 after the 50%. This is the Hawaiin Luao and Mojito Lime. I had a bad transaction in the past because the price was different. Just an FYI

[rach]

FYI for those doing Coke deal. I saw a lady in front of me only buy 5 Coke 12 pks and got them at the $1.49 price. So the add $25 is no necessary what so ever unless you get a mean cashier!

[kkkuelbs]

i really had a bad day emotionally, but it soon got better... i did my very FIRST double rainbow coupon day! i was a little nervous, so i first went to customer service to verify everything, mainly if it was $25 from the sale price or retail. she said sale price. then i asked if i could do 3 transactions & she said they really don't want people to do that, because it will hold the line up, so i said, well can i leave the store & then come back in? and she said, oh sure. i was on my way. i did 3 transcations, all of course with the help from the posts here on afc. this is essentially what i got...
24 kellogg's cereals
5 12 pk coke products
4 bush's bean
4 sweet baby marinades
4 sweet baby's dipping sauces
1 ice cream sugar cones

are you ready?.... i paid $13 approximately!

thank you so much for teaching me how to do this!
