Is anyone participating in this? Was it in your ad?

*These are all prices AFTER the $5 discount.

It states there are over 50 items but they do not have them all listed in the ad. Not exactly sure why...?

Yeah! I needed more cereal. I found $1.50/2 q for the Frosted Mini Wheats on the redplum website.

[TheSoCalMom]

Found it, thanks!

ok, really I have about 20+ boxes of cereal...do I really need more? LOL

YES!

[qlovin]

Ok, that was FUN! I bought 5 boxes of GM and Kashi cereal (using Vocalpoint coupons) for the $5 deal. Then bought a mix of 10 Kellogg's cereal and Yogo's for the Fuel 4 School rebate! Also used the Kellogg's coupons for $2 off Safeway bread wyb Kellogg's cereal and $2 off Oceanspray Dried Cranberries wyb Yogo's for FREE bread and cheap cranberries.

I am actually completely out of cereal so I'm pretty excited :-)

Note: the PECAN honey bunches of oats is not included in the promo at my store. I wonder why they won't include that one in recent sales?

Edited to add - Check the safeway shopping list for more Internet printables that apply to this promo. You can get a pretty sweet deal mixing and matching just using only printables if you are short on coupons!

what are vocalpoint coupons?

[lovethecold]

Sign up online at Vocalpoint to receive coupons in the mail! We never know what coupons we will get, but it is usually for new products that the company wants to promote. You probably wouldn't get mailed out the most recent Kashi coupons we just received, but if you sign up now, you'll get the next batch of good ones!

i'm heading out tomorrow to get my 25 boxes of cereal...and then i'll be taking them to the food pantry because what am i going to do with 25 boxes of kashi? i mean it's good, but really...

Thanks so much for the VocalPoint tip!

I signed up with vocal point about a month ago, do they just automatically mail you coupons or do you need to sign up somewhere on their site outside of creating an account? I am still trying to figure out their site .

[TheSoCalMom]

Ok, so now I can't do this deal cause they are limiting my coupons. i will really have to work at mixing and matching now. yeah right!

How did they limit your coupons? Some of my coupons wouldn't go through and the cashier manually entered them. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. I wasn't using more than 2 of the same coupons and I wasn't using multiple coupons on the same item.

Other than signing up, I didn't do anything else. I'd say at took at least a month, maybe longer before I actually got anything in the mail, but I never went to the website to "request" mailings. They just showed up in the mailbox!

What is the coupon rule/ policy at safeway?

i went to one safeway this morning and they didn't want to accept my IP coupons because they were having so many problems with fakes. i hate it when they say that and i'm standing right there...it's like they are accusing me of handing them fake coupons. after they decided that they were okay, they said they would only take one kashi coupon per order but i could do each box individually. why would i do that when it is buy 5, get $5 off? so i left the entire order there and went to another safeway where they took all of my coupons without question. i'll go back tomorrow for a few more boxes but this is why i don't visit safeway very often.

anyway, i got 5 boxes of the honey sunshine cereal ($2 each after the $5 wyb 5 minus (5) $1.50 MQ) and 5 bags of nature valley nut crunch snacks ($2 each after $5 off wyb 5 minus (5) $1 MQ from coupons.com). and i had (2) $2.50 CATS so i paid $1.50 total.

[lovethecold]

I mixed and match to get one deal, because it is hard for me to eat 5 boxes of the same thing!
After $5 off 5 auto deducted, here were the prices:
Kashi honey sunshine $2.00
Kelloggs Shredded wheat $1.50
Raisin Bran Crunch $2.00
Post Honey bunches of oats $2.00
Nature Valley nut crunch snacks $2.00

Paper coupons used:
Free Kashi sunshine cereal (auto deducted at $3.99)
$1.50/2 Frosted mini wheats or raisin bran crunch (internet printable)
$1/1 nature Valley nut crunch snacks
$1.25 Honey bunches of oats (coupon was from back of box of sample awhile ago)

E-coupons: (i had no idea what e-coupons would actually deduct but here's what did)
$1/1 nature valley nut clusters (cellfire)
.40/1 Nature valley (cellfire)
.40/1 Nature valley (shortucts)
.40/1 Nature valley (shortcuts)

=.56 for all Five.

I'm happy with my variety!

I stand corrected -- vocalpoint is offering a Secret Deodorant trial but you must sign into your account on vocalpoint.com to get in on the sample.

But the other coupons have just been mailed to me, so I guess some you have to request and some you just get!

I can't wait to go to Safeway. I love the Chocolate Mini Whetes. Hope they are included!
