Additional Deals at MARTIN’S

You may have seen this in this week’s sales ad.  I noticed when I ran into MARTIN’S  quickly the other night that there was a clarification flyer stating that this is not valid on individual cereal cups or discontinued items. 

I mentioned in my weekly deals post that this has the potential to really be a good deal.  I don’t like to pay more than $1 per box of cereal, so by the time you factor in the $1.50 you save on each box ($6/4 boxes of cereal = $1.50) plus a manufacturer coupon you can easily get a box for $1 or less.  I also read in an on-line forum (but I haven’t tested it myself) that some people were getting a Catalina (a coupon towards a future purchase) for free milk after purchasing the 4 boxes of cereal.  Has anyone done this deal and gotten the Catalina?

Here are some opportunities for matching up coupons with the cereal on sale.  I don’t have prices for the cereal, but hopefully this will help.

I am sorry that I was late in getting these additional deals posted this week.  We have been doing some home improvements over the last few months and this week I had electricians working in the house.  They were super nice and did a great job, but I had my hands full trying to keep the girls out of their way. 

Have a great weekend and happy shopping!
