But they added Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, Frosted Flakes, and 20oz Raisin Bran. <br />I still had a $1 coupon for Apple Jacks from the dispenser that you mentioned a while back. I used that in conjuction with the $2/2 Raisin Bran. Then, ALL the boxes were ringing up at 97 cents. I got 7 boxes of cereal for an overage of 21 cents. I bought a drink and a card for a total of $2.06. Of course the milk receipt printed. What a great deal. Thanks for posting.

I was in the cereal aisle when the manager came by and apologized that they were out of the Apple Jacks and Froot Loops that were advertised, but that he was substituting the 12.2 ounce sized boxes!!! To me that meant that I didn't have to buy 7 boxes of corn flakes and raisin bran! I got 2 boxes corn flakes, 3 boxes apple jacks and 2 boxes froot loops, 3 gallons of milk and 3 bags for $5.79. It is basically the same deal that you did except I had 4 kinds of cereal to choose from instead of 2.Suzettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174924335502165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362488318109523131.post-47561131745949458162010-04-09T15:01:40.584-05:002010-04-09T15:01:40.584-05:00Angela, I am so excited about the "shop like ...Angela, I am so excited about the "shop like a millionaire" game, it's like play Monopoly at McD's, but you don't have to buy fast food! Also, I've frozen milk often - if you thaw it in the fridge, it takes a long time, so I usually start it on the counter then move it into the fridge, or plan a few days for a gallon to thaw in the frige. I would think it's good about as long as it would be if it hadn't been frozen.

The lady that was packing my bags said she thought you could only get 2 per purchase but asked and found out I could get all 3, then she thought my nash finch coupon was photocopied (it wasn't but I do take your tip of the fast print option and bw of course to save on ink) and went to call a manager to have him look at it and they were not going to take it but then I said it was not copied and they decided to take it. Everyone was pretty nice about it all so it was okay it was just that someone from my small office at work was right behind me in line throughout this whole 10 minute ordeal! Kind of embarassing but oh well! Did you see the "sweepskates" game they have going on right now? Lastly, on my over long post, I heard that you can freeze milk, which I think I will have to do since we don't drink a lot of milk and the coupons expire on 04/21. Do you know how long it is good for after you freeze, do you thaw at room temp? Thanks again for all you do!

If it didn't print out, and you bought the right things, just call the Catalina company and they should send you the coupon.

You have to do it in 1 transaction to get the 3 free milks. <br /><br />Brittany, even without the coupons, you'd still be paying $9 for the cereal and 3 milks - in my mind, sill like getting all the cereal for FREE since we buy milk at $3 regularly. <br /><br />And, no, it's not bad that you want to do it for the bags! You're in good company, I think they are adorable! If you're in Fargo, don't go to Sunmart up on University. They looked at me like I was from the moon when I asked about the bags. 32nd Ave Fargo and 8th St Moorhead stores both have plenty.FM Cheapskatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08821430726765920892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362488318109523131.post-35604943410134627692010-04-08T06:18:14.210-05:002010-04-08T06:18:14.210-05:00Where is this at?Where is this at?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362488318109523131.post-90587766442615302712010-04-08T05:42:25.799-05:002010-04-08T05:42:25.799-05:00Great Find!
