MARTIN’S General Mills Cereal & $10 Prepaid MasterCard Promotions

logo_MARTINS

I don’t know if you saw this deal hidden on the side of page 4 in this week’s ad.  It was actually so small that I couldn’t cut and paste it without it looking distorted so I ended up cutting and pasting the pop up bubble.

When I see deals like these I read them as save $1.50 off each box when you buy 4 boxes.  I like to look for high value coupons that help take off at least $0.50 off each box to make the final cost even lower.  I have found a few coupons.  Because these are larger boxes of cereal I would be willing to pay more than my $1 maximum for a box.  (I got 16 boxes of cereal with a similar promotion about a month ago that was printing free milk catalinas so I am going to skip it this week.)  I haven’t had a chance to walk down the cereal aisle this week to let you know about any prices.

Make sure you are picking up the boxes that are 14.25oz or larger – they are the only ones included in the promotion.

Purchase $30 of participating P&G products in one transaction and receive a $10 prepaid MasterCard by mail

There is fine print in the ad that says that the $30 must be met after all additional discounts are applied.  I am not 100% sure if that means after coupons.  I am posting the deal scenarios as if you need $30 after coupons.

Hi Ann! Nice to see a local blog. I was wondering if you knew where I could get the P&G rebate form? My store had no clue. They took my phone number but never got back to me.

I don't know. I actually forgot to get mine when I got my $30 worth of items Saturday night. I haven't been to the store this week so I will see if I can find out anything and let you know. You may want to try going to the MARTIN'S website and click on the contact us button. I have sent them a few questions and they have always been rather prompt in getting back to me. Hope that helps!
