How would you like 5 boxes of FREE cereal? Jewel (Chicagoland) has Post Cereal on sale 2/$3 when you buy in sets of 2. (See below for varieties that are 2/$4.) There is also a catalina (CAT) promotion going on through April 19. Here's how it goes:
  • Buy 3, get a $1 Catalina
  • Buy 4, get a $2 Catalina
  • Buy 5, get a $5 Catalina
Even if you don't have coupons, you can snag some good, healthy cereal for less than $1/box! Here are some scenarios for you:

WITH COUPONS
  • Buy 3 = $4.50; Use $1/2 and $.55 coupon; Receive $1 CAT
    Cost after Qs and CATS: $1.95 ($.65 each)

  • Buy 4 = $6; Use 2 $1/2; Receive $3 CAT
    Cost after Qs and CATS: $1 ($.33 each)

UPDATE:
Some have reported that you can only get the price 2/$3 once per day per preferred card. Additionally, the pricing of 2/$3 only seems to be working when you buy in pairs (mix or match).

The following cereals are 2/$3:
Honey Bunches of Oats
Honey Bunches Just Bunches
Grape Nuts
Shredded Wheat
Post Raisin Bran

These cereals are 2/$4:
Honey Comb
Alpha Bits
Cinnamon Grahams

  6. That is correct. Catalinas always print with or after the receipt and are good on your next order (OYNO). Be sure to check out my post in a few moments about Jewel's one day sale (today!).
