Buy 6 Boxes or General Mills Cereal at Regular Price, Get $10 Off Instantly at Checkout and Coupons for a Gallon of Roundy’s Milk Free and 1 Dozen Roundy’s Eggs Free on a future visit
A few notes:
– The ad does not specify, but in times past you only received the $10 off when you scanned your Roundy’s loyalty card at the time of purchase.
— I bet, but won’t guarantee, that all the General Mills cereal printable coupons say “do not double” on them.
— In my experience with the free milk coupons generated from a General Mills promotion they take off $3.25 off your next order that includes milk, regardless of the price of the milk. Ditto with the egg coupon taking off $1.75 regardless of the value of the eggs.
— This is one case where I bring all my cereal coupons with me. It helps a lot when they are sold out of a kind I wanted.
— To easily figure out if you are getting a good deal work backwards. For instance, I won’t pay more than $1 per box of cereal, which would mean my final price needs to be $6 or less for all 6 boxes. From there, add in the $10 you’ll get off for buying six boxes; this means the price for all 6 boxes can’t be more than $16. Then, add in whatever coupons you have (and double 5 of them, if that applies). Let’s say you had five $1/1 coupons that could be doubled and one $0.75/1 coupon; add $10.75 more (five $1 coupons, doubled to $10, plus the $0.75 for the last coupon) to bring your pre-coupon, pre-discount total to $26.75. What is $26.75? That is the highest price that all six boxes can total if you want to buy at a target price of $1 per box. The nice thing about this method is that it doesn’t count the value of the milk as part of what it takes to reach your target price.

Buy $20 worth of Kimberly-Clark products and use a Roundy’s loyalty card, Get a free box of Kleenex on your current grocery order and $5 off your next shopping trip
A few notes:
– You won’t get the deal if you don’t have the cashier scan your free Roundy’s loyalty card before your order is complete. You can get a card at the Customer Service counter.
– The ad reads “$20 worth of Kimberly Clark products” not “select Kimberly Clark products” so I assume any of their products are eligible, even if they are not on sale and advertised in this week’s ad.
— This promotion runs through August 31, although the sale priced items are likely only going to be around this week.
– I am not putting together a deal idea with this because, apart from using multiple coupons on something like Poise Liners or Glade Plug-Ins, nothing will be free or close to it. My personal favorite items are the Scott paper towels and TP, since I think they are at a good price even without the extra $5 off. Also, with enough coupons the Huggies wipes could be a great deal and the big box of diapers plus a Kleenex could be a good price.
Advertised sale items with coupons are listed below:
Poise Liners $2.49
$1/1 from 8/15 Smart Source insert
Final price: $0.49 after doubled coupon
