Thanks to Jane for pointing this out (register ink was spotty), but I actually paid only 27¢ for all four boxes, not just one. Add all the JFU digital GM coupons and see what happens!
Forgot all about this one, so sorry ’cause it’s only on sale through tomorrow (3 day sale), but buying four boxes of select GM cereals brings the cost down to 88¢ each – but wait! There are several GM JFU coupons to clip and add to your List: a $1.50/3, $1/2 and a 75¢ off one. I got Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Trix for FirstBorn as part of his healthy eating plan and was rewarded with 50 bonus Fetch Rewards points for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch plus all three coupons came off, so I paid 27¢ a box. Go crap!

The Dark Side of Couponing
Omg! I wondered why you hadn’t commented on this. I got 4 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios and all 3 of my coupons came off….but check your receipt…that 27c is for ALL $ BOXES! :>)
But, get this….my husband got 4 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and they actually added 75c back at the bottom of his receipt! (it says “additional discounts”)
He was hoping for just the 38c a box price but actually paid more since they added one to total? I may show them this at CS desk (he says drop it!) because they actually owe him 75c back.
On a further note…our stores have no Polar pumpkin cans. I will keep checking though. My logic was he could buy over 7 cans of pumpkin!!!
All 4 boxes…not the dollar sign!
I didn’t study the receipt (ink was spotty), but you’re 100% correct – I paid .27 for all four boxes and will update post – thanks! Their receipts are turning into Target clones.
LOL @ Target receipts ink!
I did go back and show them my husbands receipt and they gave me back $1.50, since it actually charged him the 75c and then they gave him the credit! He beat us by getting all 4 boxes for FREE!
The CS lady said it was the oddest thing and she too had never seen it before!
I went right over to produce and got my cheap cabbage, Roma tomatoes and a 5# bag of Russets for 99c!
Glad we got our cheap bag of oranges because my friend in produce said they flew off shelf and were not getting more in. Heads up….the Driscoll’s strawberries starting tomorrow for 99c looked very nice!!!
Your potatoes must have been a personalized deal ’cause it’s not in the ad (or online) and neither Pita nor I got it on JFU deal. Boo, since I’m out of potatoes.
The produce guy said they are honoring our Kankakee stores prices because they are having their grand opening of the re model. They also had 29c bananas last week and also many berries have been 99c as well! 60901 is their zip code (in case there are store specific deals?) I have not changed my zip.
congrats on the theft. 😉 i had never clipped the $1-off-2 e-coupon, figuring it pointless given the Special Picks.
so my transaction totalled $1.27+tax, and basically unfolded as normal, with an exception during it. the $0.75-off-1 coupon came off the 1st scanned item. i was expecting the $1.50-off-3 to kick in for Item #4, but it instead did so on #3 — and didn’t temporarily kick out the 1st coupon in the process. so i was essentially claiming two coupons on 3 items, meaning their “spannings” overlapped. it all balanced out when i scanned #4.
it wasn’t until re-reading your post that i realized this flaw meant an extra $1 would’ve been in it for me.
they clearly need to fix how their e-coupons attach to items.
