My Target would only let me use 3 of the $1 Target coupons, it looks like that is the case with most. And Anne, though I agree that a lot of Kelloggs cereals are high in sugar and don't have much to offer in terms of nutritional value, there are some that are pretty healthy. Frosted Mini Wheats is part of the deal. Pretty high in Fiber and Protein (6 grams of each per serving) and the hubby loves it so that is great! I live on the West Coast where everything is expensive. I ended up getting 4 boxes for $3.42 but I looked for the boxes with the 75 cents off coupon Frosted Mini Wheats (Little Bites variety- the honey nut kind has 6 g of fiber and 5 g of protein per serving). Also, Raisin Bran has 7 g of fiber per serving and I believe is also part of the promo. Frosted Flakes was the cheapest (and I admit I broke down and bought some for my pregnancy dessert cravings). Also, make sure that you are getting a good deal by calculating the price per ounce of cereal. For instance, they had the 17 oz size for $2.66 and the 23 oz size for $2.99. Even the the 23 0z is more expensive, you are paying LESS per ounce of cereal and getting a much better deal! I always use the calculator on my cell phone, quick and handy.

Victoria, I don't think Low was pointing fingers at anyone in particular. I think we've all run to the store on occasion for a deal only to find the shelves cleared, and that's what she seemed to be worried about. I was just letting her know that at Target that's generally not the case. I think it's great that it allows you to donate to the local food pantry.

At my local Target in Central Texas the cereal was advertised as $2.66 but in store it was priced $2.34- the Mini Wheats were included- so I was able to use the $1/1 coupons and get 4 boxes for $0.02!

I did not use 30 coupons on this deal. I used 30 between 2 trips getting INDIVIDUAL cheese sticks. I did not clean them out of them which I wouldn't do because that's unfair, I left plenty so people still had the opportunity to get them. I shared the cheese with people in my community. All the food that I get a lot of because it's free I give to the food pantry. I think everyone should chill your grill on this. Buying a lot is all legal and Target has a person that comes in every night and fills up what is empty. Everyone has a fair shot at getting what they want or need for themselves or for charity.

Low, I can assure you that stores get in huge amounts of stock when they run a promotion like this. I was in charge of stock at the local Kellogg's distribution center before I had kids.

However, 30 does seem a little excessive. I went last night and bought 8 boxes, which isn't much considering we have a family of 7. I may stop in at the end of the week to get 8 more after the frenzy has died down.

I'm new to this, but if some people are using 30 (!!!) coupons at once - as stated by one person - for this deal , then where is the hope for a lot of us to even find the merchandise in stock!? Doesn't seem very fair, not to mention nice, to be using that many. Why bother even posting about these deals then. Just wondering...

cant wait to see which kinds of Kelloggs are actually part of this promotion - :) I don't buy a lot of Kelloggs because of their HIGH sugar levels so I'm hoping for some healthy varieties are on sale:)

Its interesting how different the stores and results are..
I was able to use 4 Target $1.00 Qs along with my Kelloggs Qs & got a great deal. I've never had any issues with using multiple Qs of the same type. Thank God! ;-)
I got 4 boxes of Kelloggs cerial & 1 Huggies #1 daipers for .82c. Course, I dont have any Target gift cards anymore but c'est la vie' eh? ;-)

I did the cereal deal today with 2 Cornflakes & 2 Raisin Bran (my hubbies' favorites). They were $2.66 each with the 4th free. The register specifically kicked out the 4th Target coupon with the error message you can't use coupon on free item. However I did use 3 of the $1 Target coupons and two $1.50/2 MC, so I paid $1.98 for four boxes and that should keep him stocked for a couple months : )

Thanks for the tip on this one Tara!

I just got back from Super Target and paid 3.97 for four boxes of Kellogg's qcereal and a Silk soymilk! The cereal did not come out free because the cheapest I could find was 2.99. And I had a coupon for a free Silk soymilk wyb two Kellogg's cereals (only the ones listed on the coupon so I had to get those, which were 3.69 and 3.99, but we love soymilk so we got a great deal anyway! :)

I'm going to head to Target in a bit, so I'll get a list of what's included!

At our Targets in Michigan, the cereal is 2.99 but I was able to get 4 boxes for $3 so it's still a good deal!

Does anyone know what specific cereals are included in this deal?

No luck for me on the cereal today at Target. The coupons I had for the cereal were all for kinds that were not included in the $2.66 sale and were not going to be any real deal even with the use of the Target coupons so I decided to pass for now. Also the Targets I go to have no problem when I use 5, 6 or more of the Target coupons. I am sorry to hear that not everyone gets the same treatment.

Arianna, I've contacted Target corporate about this, and they said it's up to the store manager whether or not to enforce a limit in a single transaction. My stores have always allowed multiples.

Even breaking your transactions up and using the Target and the manufacturer coupon will get your cereal for $0.66 which is a decent deal.

The Target coupons state clearly "one per transaction" and every time I tried to use more than one I have been told by cashiers and managers that I cannot.
I'm surprised so many people get away with it...unfortunately I can't!
These kind of scenarios never apply to me.

I have another question. Most of the time you can only print manufacturer's coupon for twice, how do you manage to get more than 2 mfr's coupon? Thanks.
