Meijer

The cereal cup deal is still going on at Meijer! (If you don't know what I am talking about, look at the post from August 5th.) The General Mills cereal cups are still $1 each. They are no longer giving the $2 off your next purchase cat but the free gallon of milk one is still printing. I tested it a couple of times yesterday and the best way to work it now that the $2 cat is no longer in the deal is to buy in sets of 3. For every 3 you buy, you get a free milk catalina coupon. I did a transaction with 6 to see if I would get 2 cats and yes, I did! In today's GM insert there is a $1/3 coupon that you can use. When getting my cereal yesterday, I bought milk and used the free milk cat from before. Well, milk is on sale for $1.98 and when the cashier scanned the coupon, it went through for $4.50 (the max. value of the coupon) so I got major overage! Yay! This is going to depend on your cashier - some may look for the actual price of the milk and enter that amount - you are entitled only to the price of the milk and overage is a bonus! It doesn't always happen but it's nice when it does - since I bought 2 gallons of milk and used 2 coupons, it paid for the few other things I had in the transaction. They get reimbursed for whatever price the coupon goes through with so Meijer will get the $4.50 that GM is willing to pay for the milk but you can't expect the overage. Also, it's better to go to a cashier with these - the self check-out locks up and an attendant has to come and verify the coupon. We waited a AT LEAST 5 minutes at the self check-out and finally just took our items to a regular cashier - which worked out better because I got the overage! :-)
