Free Cereal at Target!

I have no idea why Blogger is flipping this photo up on its end. Please turn your head 90 degrees to the right to view this picture correctly. And imagine 3 more boxes of Fiber Plus cereal that were in the back of my car.
After seeing KC's cereal haul at Target, I couldn't help myself. I did 3 transactions and in each I purchased at least 5 Kellogg's Fiber Plus cereal. The overage from that paid for the other cereals plus some. The Target sales weeks end on Saturdays, so if you want some free cereal (there is PLENTY left) get over there before the end of the day Saturday!

FINAL SUMMARY: 3.14 profit + all the theater concession codes on the fronts of the Frosted Flakes boxes!

As always with Target, every deal is a YMMV situation:

ONE TARGET COUPON PER TRANSACTION: All the Target IPQs say "One per transaction" on them, so your cashier may not accept multiples in the same transaction. I got lucky and my cashier didn't care, but your experience may be totally different.

MULTIPLE COMPUTERS: I had access to multiple computers so I was able to print out quite a few of the Target and Internet Printable Coupons. The amount of cereal you can get depends on how many computers you can print from.

Ok, that's my disclaimer. Now, hurry to Target and stock up on cereal!

  1. Great Job Kim! Did you do all 3 transactions at the same time? I felt a little odd with 10 boxes of cereal in my shopping cart... not sure about 30! I am not sure why I felt weird... I certainly have had larger quanties of various items in one order, but I just was weirded out at Target..

    Anyway, did you get your business cards? Mine came yesterday, I only wish I had put a tag line on mine.. but they will do the job!

    Oh and I hated when blogger turned my pictures sideways... I totally feel ya there!

  2. Thanks for sharing this deal with me - I had no idea there was a cereal bonanza going on at Target this week. I definitely was NOT flying under the radar with my 20 boxes of cereal overflowing in my cart, but I found an AWESOME cashier who was just as excited as I was. I did 2 back to back transactions, took that all out to the car and then came back and did one more. I was prepared to be shut down, but I was pleasantly surprised. I left a comment card for my cashier because she was so opposite of the cashiers I usually encounter at Target.

    I DID get my business cards. I feel like some of the font on the back is kind of small, but other than that- they will totally work! Thanks again!

    That darn sideway picture! I fought with it for 10 minutes before I gave up on it.

  4. I did this too! I only had one cashier go over my coupons with a magnifying glass, but he still scanned them all. :)

  5. Maybe I'm just retarded but I do not get how you get the cost to come down so low. I printed out the coupons not as many as you obviously but on my calculator it still comes out being like 15 bucks or something not as cheap as you guys anyone wanna help? I have 2 $1.50 off coupons like you said 2 of the free fiber plus coupons from target and 2 of the $1 off 2 coupons and I even have 2 $1.25 off 3 coupons not sure how to make this scenario work.

  6. Tausha- Thanks so much for being a reader! I live in the East Valley near Mesa/Apache Junction. I wish I had some extra Breyer's coupons to send to you, but I only grabbed a few & I've already used those. :( Keep searching!

    Renee- Good job! I'm glad to see you got in on the cereal deal too!

    Ray Family- The Free Fiber Plus Cereal Target coupon auto scans at $4.29 each. So, with the coupons you have, you can definitely do this deal! That Free Target coupon brings your total down really fast. With the amount of coupons you've described, I would probably do 2 Fiber Plus cereals and 2 Frosted Flakes which subtotals to 10.32. Use (2) Free Fiber Plus Target IPQs & (2) 1.50/2 Kellogg's IPQs and you'll end up with 1.26 overage and 4 boxes of cereal. Make sure you add something onto your order to eat up that overage. The register won't let you go below zero. Hope that helps! Good luck!

  7. Hi there, by chance what zip do you use when looking up coupons on target. I'm not finding those target coupons when I follow the link or try my zip code.

    Thanks!
