LOL! Okay!

I got two boxes of cereal, two muffin mixes, and one toaster pastry and it did prompt her to give me the gift card. Since some people have trouble I don't do Target deals unless I am going to buy more than just the deals, and that seems to help--the cashier pushed through a few coupons and I got the overage, but my total went from $46 to $30 since I got a bunch of other stuff like milk and coffee. If I'm barely paying anything in the end I think it makes them suspicious that I'm "cheating" the store or something.

It says select fiber one products. Thats why everyone is having trouble with that one. Also my cashier would not do the chees deal either. Then they gave me junk about the target kelloge deal with the cinnabun things. Said those coupons were only for the pictured item. Over all I still did good though. the muffins are not included in the buy 5 get 5 deal. It says select fiber one products. Thats why everyone is having trouble with that one.

There is a coupon peelie on the top of some packages for $3/2. This coupon combined with 2 $1.00 Target Coupons makes them $.52 a package!

So I bought 8 individual servings and then had $6 in other groceries I needed. Ultimately Target paid me to take the cereal and I got other groceries I needed for free. Some targets are not cool with this though. it does depend on each target.

I had only 2 of the 75c off cereal coupons, and 3 of 40c off the bars; no Target coupons. But I had no problem with the coupons at the register, and I think the end price, $1 for big boxes of high-fiber cereal, was still pretty good! I have big plans for that $5 gift card!

It might have been a problem just at my local target, but the computer wasn't prompting the cashier to give me the $5 gift card back, just FYI. They were eventually able to push it through, though.

Meaning if you are buying four boxes of cereal you can only use one coupon. I tried contacting the corporate office about this, but was told that they are unable to police what the individual stores decide to do as far as coupon policies go. I am not pleased with their customer service right now! Our local Target is now only allowing you to use one like manufacturer’s coupon per transaction.

I also loved the Cheerio's coupons! My kids eat those dry like they are going out of style. Fabulous to be able to stock up on them! I also got my free Artisan bread AND the Dove deodorant was just .29 cents. Thanks sooooo much!!!!

That just seems like more clutter and that means more stress for me. I would rather just buy the full value size bottle with a coupon and be done with it.

They were only 40 cents each so I knew better than to use $1/2 coupon, so I bought two additional shredded cheeses. The cashier tried to push it through but the manager insisted that it be the cheese pictured on the photo and string cheese didn't count. But the GM coupon I think is for 10 ounce or greater.

I want to try this deal but my Target always seems to only want to use the coupon for what is pictured (a box of cheerios) as opposed to what the wording is (any general mills) so i was just curious if this had been a hassle. My sis is at college and i would love to scoop up these for her, may give it a try today. Thanks Has anyone had success in using the general mills coupon on the single serving cups?
