Thanks to Julia at The Frugal Find for sharing this unadvertised cereal Catalina at Safeway (and other Safeway-owned stores)!
Select General Mills cereal is priced at 3 for $6, and when you buy 3, you’ll receive a Catalina coupon good for $4.50 off your next milk purchase.
Sale cereals:
- Cheerios
- Cocoa Puffs
- Golden Grahams
- Trix
- Whole Grain Total
Scenario to maximize this deal:
Buy (3) Whole Grain Total Cereal at 3/$6
Use (3) $0.75/1 Total Cereal printables from here or here
$0.50 ea. after coupons + $4.50 in FREE milk!
If Total Cereal isn’t your thing, you can find other printable coupons for General Mills cereal on Coupons.com.
Sale prices good through 7/7.

I used a $1 off coupon for Total at https://totalcereal.com/?WT.mc_id=paid_search_300304_636117&WT.srch=1

I haven’t tried it yet, but a reader of mine said she used her milk coupon in a separate transaction and it automatically scans as a $4.50 coupon, so she got $2.50 overage!

Thanks, Andrea! Safeway doesn’t double $1 coupons though, do they? This isn’t a local store for me, so I’m not well-versed on their policies.
Cheri
My ad only shows Cheerios and Trix on sale. Do you have a different ad?
Julia @ The Frugal Find
Cheri – In store the Cocoa Puffs and Total cereal were also 3/$6, there may have been another but I do remember those for sure.

I just went to Safeway (in Maryland) and bought 3 boxes of Cheerios with coupons. My .55 coupon was doubled. Also, the cashier scanned some sort of coupon for me and told me to pick up one more box of Cheerios for an additional .50. (My receipt showed that he scanned a $1.50 coupon for me.) I also got the $4.50 milk coupon. A great deal!! Thanks!
Celeste
It depends on where you are, some of the Safeway stores will only double up to $1 (so $1 does not double and $.75 off “doubles” to $1, not 1.50 off. ) and around here if you have more than one of the same coupon only the first one “doubles”–still a decent deal, but be sure you know what they do in your area.

Thanks, Celeste! That helps a lot. That’s how Kroger is around here – some stores only double $0.50 or lower, but in Central OH they double $0.99 or less.
Julia @ The Frugal Find
If only they doubled in CA! Maybe one day…

When I printed the coupons they say not subject to doubling?

I’ve never had my Safeway double my coupons. Is this a policy they have?

Hillary, they should still double unless the store chooses to override it which doesn’t happen very often.
Lori, it sounds like it varies by store, but even $3.75 for 3 boxes of cereal and $4.50 in milk is a pretty good deal!
Hillary
Thanks Tara….that is good information to know. =)
