  • Final price 5 boxes $3.95 or .79 cents a box!!!!!
  • You can do this over and over again

Scenario #1 with coupons

  • on Feb 28th some areas got coupon for $1.00 off 2 post cereal (we did not get them in our area)
  • Buy 5 boxes of cereal = $7.95
  • use 2 coupon for $1.00 off 2 = take off $2.00

Scenario #1 with Double coupons ( yes there are 3 double coupons in this ad)

  • Buy 5 boxes of cereal = $7.95
  • use 2 coupon for $1.00 off 2 = take off $2.00
  • use 2 double coupons = takes another 2 off
  • Total will be $3.95
  • after you pay get back a $4.00 catalina ( plus you did not use the catalina from another deal….so it is makes them FREE)

Scenario #2 with double coupons

  • Buy 6 boxes cereal = $9.54
  • use 3 coupons for $1.00 off 2 = take off $3.00
  • use 3 double coupons = takes another $3.00
  • Total will be $3.54
  • after you pay you will get back a $4.00 catalina ( plus you did not use the catalina from another deal….so it is makes them a money maker )

With the double scenarios you can ad a cheap filler item to bring your total before tax up $4.00….which would then allow you to pay with a $4.00 catalina, bringing  your total out of pocket down to pretty much just tax….and after you pay another $4.00 catalina will print.  Just a thought…hope it helps

I hope my Math is right……..I am looking forward to my brain coming  back after the baby is born…haa haa haa

Did you see the Albertsons ad, it came in todays free paper. Both the Statesman and the Tribune toss free papers to different areas each week.  If you are lucky enough to get it on Tuesday it comes with the Albertsons Ad and you get to see the sale a day ahead of time!

I now have 30 boxes of cereal! I was able to get all flavors of the pebbles (cupcake, cocoa, and fruity) and bunches of oats (cinnamon, honey, vanilla, pecans, almonds, strawberries, etc..) and the catalina still printed out! My big thrill was that the “Vintage” box of raisin bran has a $1 off 2 boxes coupon INSIDE the box. Our store only had a few boxes left, but it was part of the deal, and I am now able to go back and do more with the doublers. The vintage looking box even says it on the box “valuable coupon inside”. I have two albertsons within two miles of me, and one of them is SUPERSTARS with service and accommodation to my coupon efforts! I live a bit north of Seattle and I know some stores are different.

Boy do I wish we could get some more doubles. And I know not that much but ours is on sale for 1.69 (another 10cents a box). As for the catalina that printed for me last week at Vons (Safeway) it said any Post cereal above 10oz so if it is the same then it would be for any Post cereal.

I believe I saw the suave deodorant on sale for 1.69 in the ad. If you pair that with the recent 1.25 off 1 or 3.00 of 2 coupons then they would make for some really great fillers!

when you post stuff like this, it makes me really wish that we had albertsons here! I have so many of that coupon that I’ll never use.

The Caldwell Albertsons also had a cupcake cereal up front with the other cereal. Will that cereal work on the Post catalina? I just want to make sure the catalina is for any Post cereal.
Thanks

Lisa…I am not sure…we will not know till we scan it

Lori March 16, 2010 at 7:37 pm

Are all those cereals included in the catalina?

Vaun March 16, 2010 at 7:10 pm

How about Raisin Brand crunch? Thx

Naomi March 16, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Also in transaction 2 it says to pay with the $5 catalina from transaction one. I think it should be $4. Thanks so much for figuring this all out! I’m so excited and nervous for this sale! Is that normal? LOL.

Thanks Krystal!

Thanks for all the different scenarios!

there is a little typo on Scenario #2 with coupons – it reads “Final price 5 boxes for $2.94 or .51 cents each”

I think it should read “Final price 6 boxes for $2.54 or .42 cents each”
Hope that’s right! :)

Thanks Julee

This is great….just when I was almost out

Amanda March 16, 2010 at 4:41 pm

My paper came with three twice the value coupons attached. It doesn’t state about the Catalina, so just curious as to how we can know about the Catalina? I am armed and ready to stock up on cereal. Mine doesn’t mention cocoa pebbles, only fruity ones…

Krystal March 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm

I don’t know if this will work or not on this deal as it is more than the cost of the cereal, but if you go to PostNatural.com and register to receive newsletters, they will send you via email a $2.00 of any box of post Shredded whear, grape nuts or raisin bran. Just thought I would pass that along.
