Free Post Cereal at Jewel

OK, so I was holding out on the Dominick's cereal deal even though it's pretty cheap with the National Catalina deal on Post Cereal. Let's just say I'm glad I did because I like FREE cereal! Here's the deal. Starting Thursday at Jewel, Honey Bunches of Oats and Fruity Pebbles are on sale for $1.59 each. When you buy 5, you get $4 back. If you've registered your card here, you'll get $2 back when you buy 2 (you can get only one per transaction). Combine this with coupons, and you have one awesome deal! But even if you don't have coupons that's only $2 for 5 boxes of cereal!

Buy 5 boxes @ $1.59 each = $7.95
- $2 (Use 2 $1/2 coupons from 2/28S or 3/14S)
- $2 (Catalina from tv.catalinamarketing.com)
- $4 (Catalina for buying 5 Post Cereals)
= FREE!!

Stock-Up Time at Jewel

There are quite a few catalina deals going on at Jewel right now. This time around, I went through the coupons I had and focused on figuring out a few transactions on matching items that I know we'll use. FYI, these worked perfectly at the Romeoville Jewel. For the Suave to produce the $2 CAT, be sure to register your Jewel card here (it takes about 36 hours to activate). I used the Suave as a moneymaker to reduce the OOP (out-of-pocket) on the following transactions. Even if you don't have coupons, these are definitely stock-up prices!!
