As others have reported, some of the cereal is mysteriously ringing up at 99 cents instead of 1.99 as advertised! This made for some great overage, but it is not predictable or reliable. I tried a second, identical transaction and none of the same cereals rang us at the lower price. So, I wouldn't count on it, but have a few fillers (produce, milk, etc.) in case you get lucky!
I did 2 sets of 4 mix & match item to try to hit all my EQs I had loaded up. Plus, when you buy 4 mix & match items, you get a free box of Nature Valley Granola Bars. So, I grabbed 2 free boxes of Nature Valley Granola Bars too! All the *'d items were part of the Mix & Match event. Click here to see my match ups for the Mix & Match event.

*These coupons are beepers, so be ready for that. It's beeping because the coupon amount exceeds the item's value. You can have your cashier adjust the coupon down to 1.98 or your cashier may just push it through like mine did.

Hey girl! Thanks for the inspiration! I had a great run last night and most of the deals worked out great. One thing I wanted to let you know is to rip open your Quaker instant oatmeal boxes NOW and pull out the coupons in there!!! There is a strip of coupons in each box (or atleast there were in all of mine). On that strip is a coupon for .50/1 Quaker rice cake snacks. Take it to Frys by Tuesday for .50 overage per coupon!!! :D How cool is that?!! I was so excited to find these right in time for the sale!
ReplyDeleteI loaded my card with e coupons and printed out mfr coupons and got most of what you got for $0.97 total! That's a 99% savings! Here's what I got.

Thanks for your blog! :)
Hi...I followed your deal today but none of my cereal rang up at .99 cents. I was bummed BUT...when I was looking closer at my receipt when I got home, I noticed that not only did my 2 boxes of granola bars ring up at 0.00 but my nut clusters ALSO rang up at 0.00! Don't know why it rang up that way but I'm not going to complain! =)
