The deal is buy 3 get 1 free. You can not use a store coupon or manuf. coupon on a free item. This is store policy. You can’t take money off of a free item. If you had 3 $1 target Q and 3 $1 manuf.Q then you were still getting the cereal for .49 cents/box. A great deal still compared to going to Albertsons and paying full price.

I was just at the Target at Chinden & Eagle Rd. They would not let me use 4 manufacturer coupons or 4 Target coupons. They were saying that since the item is already free, you can’t use a coupon on it. I tried every point possible to get them to use the 4th manufacture coupon. (All of my coupons were $1/1.) A supervisor came over. She looked at the policy and said no. I then said to call corporate. We went to customer service and called corporate. They said no. They didn’t even try to scan either coupon. I can understand the Target coupon not working, but the manufacturer one I don’t. I said that other people were able to use a man. q on the free box, and they said that people shouldn’t have been able to do that. I left empty handed. A month ago they said if it scans they’ll take it, and if it doesn’t scan, then they look at it and see what the problem is and from there decide to type it in or not accept it. The cashier didn’t even try to scan the coupon. I am irritated. I went clear to the top and still to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?

Went to Target this morning….
There are only the three pictured cereals on sale for 2.66. The only coupon match ups that are $1 off each were the corn flakes and they were gone this morning. It is still a good deal, but not the cheapest cereal. I picked up 8 boxes for about $8.

Heather – You can only use one manufacturer coupon that pertains to each item. So if you buy 4 boxes of cereal you could use 4 coupons that are $1/1, or you could use 2 coupons that are $1/2, or in your scenario 1 coupon that is $1/3 and 1 that is $1/1. You can only use one $1/3 coupon for every 3 items that you buy. If you used one coupon for each item then it would mean that you would have multiple manufacturers coupons pertaining to one item. I hope this makes sense and I did not just confuse you more. Basically stack up however many items the coupon says you have to buy to use it, slap that coupon on top and then know that you cannot use another manufacturers coupon for anything in that stack. (You can however use a store coupon for these items,) HTH!

If I am buying four items and I have four coupons for $1/3 can I use a coupon for each item? I’m a bit confused about how many coupons I can use per transaction.

For example:
I want to get the best deal on the Kellogg’s cereal.
I have all of the target coupons but many of my kellogg’s coupons are $1/3 or .75/2. I was just wondering if I could use a coupon for $1/3 on each item purchased or is it one per total purchase??

I was able to use 4 target $1 q’s and 1 $1/2 mini wheats and $1/2 special k and ended up paying .70 a box for the 4 boxes…not bad!!

FYI on the cereal deal @ Target – I purchased 4 cereals, used 4 manuf. Coupons, however the computer would only accept 3 target coupons – when the cashier scanned the 4th one, the computer said “cannot use coupon on a free item”.

So therefore, you can use 4 manufacturers, but only 3 targets.

paid .70-.90 a box. Happy chick here!
