MARTIN’S–General Mills Deal

DSC_7409

What a deal!!!!  Buy Any 4 General Mills or Cascadian Farm Cereals in one visit with your BONUSCARD, excludes Cereal Cups and Discontinued Items and get $6 off you General Mills Cereal Purchase.  (Offer valid 6/26-7/2/11) Plus get up to $4.50 off a Gallon of Milk with your next shopping order!

They haven’t run this deal in the last few months.  It is a great deal – remember think of it as getting $1.50 off of each box of cereal in addition to what you are already saving with your coupons.  When you add in the cost of the gallon of milk you could be close to getting everything for almost nothing.

I don’t have prices for the individual boxes of cereal, but for this deal remember the following things to maximize your savings:

  • Buy the smallest boxes possible (they will be less expensive)
  • If you are buying more than 4 boxes of cereal separate your transactions.
  • You can use your Catalina on organic milk (the value of the Catalina is up to $4.50)

Here is a list of available coupons that you can clip and take with you to try to maximize your savings.

Hi Ann,
This is a fun deal for the kids to do for a treat... my Martin's had 3 musketeers Buy 2 Get 1 Free. If you combine that with the $0.50/2 Mars 3 Musketeers 6/26/2011 RP coupon then final price is 26 cents each. Milky Way is also included in the sale and there was a printable available a few weeks ago that I was still hanging onto.

Thanks for the tip Jessica! I did notice the Buy 2 Get 1 Free tags, but didn't think to look to see if 3 Muskeeters were included. I will definitely have to clip those coupons to keep on hand for a "good behavior bribe." :)

Hi Ann,

Love this deal!! Do you know if it works if you buy 8 boxes (or 12, etc..), or would you have to do multiple transactions to get the $6 credit and milk cat?

Thanks!

I just made 8 cents on the cereal deal! I bought 1 Cookie Crisp at 3.65, and 3 Honey nut Cheerios at 3.59 for a total of $14.42. Then I used 4 coupons that doubled to a dollar and got the $6 off bringing that transaction to 4.42. I used my milk coupon in the next transaction with the rest of my groceries and since the cashier couldn't get the milk coupon to ring up right she subtracted $4.50 off my total even though my milk was only 3.75. So 4.42- 4.50 = .08! (I figure I would have had to buy the milk no matter what)

Andrea - I don't know if you will get the $6 off and the milk catalina if you buy 8 or 12 at one time. I am too chicken to try, so I have only bought it in increments of 4. :)

Carrie - I am planning on a similar scenario with the new printables that we released today. Great minds think alike. :)

Hi Ann...I purchased eight boxes of cereal today in one transaction and the receipt showed two $6 off and I received two free milk catalinas.

Ann said...

Thanks for the info Stacey! As I mentioned earlier I have been too chicken to try to buy more than 4 boxes at one time so I always do my transactions separately. (I also do that to maximize my coupons doubling.)

One thing that I want to share about this deal - I tried it with 4 boxes of Cascadian Farm Cereal the other night. (I bought 2 boxes of Fruit & Nut Granola and 2 boxes of Clifford Crunch.) I got my $6 off, but didn't get my free milk catalina. I went to the service center and the associate said that because it is a coupon issue and they can't correct it. She had one of the managers on duty write an IOU on my receipt for a gallon of milk. I called Catalina's toll free number and spoke with a representative. He told me that the UPC's for the items I bought didn't qualify for the free milk cat. I have sent an e-mail to Martin's and will let you know if I hear anything back.
