A variety of Kellogg's cereals are on sale at Target for $2.66/ea this week. While that isn't such a great deal in of itself... they are also running a Buy 3 Get One Free sale. This reduces the price per box to $1.99 ... still not a fabulous deal. HOWEVER...there are several $1/1 printable Kellogg's coupons available right now. You can find them at Coupons.com and additionally at the Kellogg's website. Each of these coupons is printable twice per computer in your home. You can use 4 $1/1 coupons on your purchase ...bringing the cost down to $0.99 per box of cereal. THIS is the type of deal I'm fond of.
This is a good deal, but here's the kicker.
Target's printable grocery coupons has a $1 off of 1 box on their website with a limit of four per transaction.

Target in Duluth GA isn't a good place for deals like this. They deny coupons like crazy (last time I was told they can't take more than 3 on 5 items purchase; then on an ice cream purchase I was limited to using 1 only instead of all 5)...As much as I want to get in on this deal, I don't see myself fighting over cereal Bonus Bucks...maybe, if it were real cash and multiple purchases were possible Good luck to everyone doing this, maybe your local Target is better than mine.

I hardly ever go grocery shopping for just cereal... I don't mind the mgr as I usually need one to just get 1-2 mfr coupons approved. That's why I said for me it would be too much of a hassle--waiting 15-20 mins, asking for Mgr, or going to CSR...

Just find the kid having a bad day. They tend to be a bit more liberal with coupons. And I don't recommend just going in for cereal only. When you pay nothing for something that raises the red flag and they usually grab an Asst. Mgr. or somebody.

Target Stores Coupon Policy
Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it's easy to use them at our stores.
Target accepts one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item (unless prohibited) Super Target coupons can be used in any Target store if the store carries the item We gladly accept valid internet coupons
Because of the variety of coupons available to our guests, we do have some guidelines for how coupons can be redeemed at Target.
When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:
We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued coupons and manufacturer-issued. We'll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it. Coupon amount may be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. We can't give Cash Back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item. We can't accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores. All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you're checking out.
Just did it, they would only take 3 Target coupons. The register rejected the fourth with a message saying can't use it on a free item. Four manufacturer coupons worked fine. The cereals that had a $1 off one box coupon were $2.99 and $3.29, not $2.66, and the register chose the $2.99 one to be free, so $2.57 total for four boxes, 0.64 each.

The deal I did today was 4 boxes of 18oz Frosted Mini-Wheats. They were 2.94 each, so $9 for 4. I used three Target coups, then two $1.50 off 2 Mini Wheats coups so my total was $3 for 4 boxes. Not free but good in my opinion. I haven't found the specially marked boxes for the $10 rebate anywhere in the Richmond VA area.
Didn't find ANY cereal on sale at my Target yesterday on Elston in Chicago, nor did I see any of the specially marked boxes when I looked . Guess I'll try another one today.

In my local Pathmark, the 14 oz boxes of Mini-bites were on sale 3/$8, and I had 3 $1 coupons, so that brought my cost to $5. With this promo, you also got a register print out coupon for a free gallon of milk on next shopping trip.
They also had the specially marked boxes of mini-wheats - however these were the 24-oz size with 25% more free - so they were huge 30-oz boxes and they were not on sale, nor would they get me the free gallon of milk. The price was $4.79 per box. Not a bad deal, considering the $10 back, if you really, really, really LOVE mini-wheats and used 3 $1 off coupons.
Thanks OP, ended up with 4 boxes of cereal for less than $3, works for me! Didn't have the thing for the $10 back, but it's still dirt cheap cereal, 4 boxes for less than the sale price of one, good deal! Green for you!
