General Mills Deal - Buy 10 Items, Get $5 Off Instantly

I apologize that I didn't get this posted this week.  There were some pretty good deals to have, hopefully you cashed in on it!


Deb left a comment about her shopping trip ~

"For the GM deal I decided to just buy 10 of the muffin mixes. My kids like muffins once in a while for breakfast so since they were on sale for .75 each, buying 10 for $7.50 and then the $5 off coupon, came to a quarter each. I couldn't find any MFG coupons to match up with them, but for a quarter, it was worth it for me and I am stocked on muffin mixes for a long time."

Deals for Week of 8/15-8/21

Hi everyone!

Wow, it's been a long time.  I hope you're still hanging in there and haven't forgotten about me.  I don't know what happened this summer, but I hope to get back into blogging the weekly deals and match-ups.  

I didn't find anything too exciting this week.  I thought they had pretty good prices on produce, and I like that they feature several items that are locally grown.  I'm all for keeping money in our community!

There is a General Mills deal where if you buy 10 advertised General Mills products, then you get $5.00 off instantly.  This includes baking products, fruit snacks, frozen vegetables, cereal, refrigerated bread & more.  I will try and get a scenario or two up later this week if possible.  There should be tons of coupon match-ups since they are all General Mills products.

Let me know if you find any good deals at your local Coborn's this week!

New Coupon Policy

So, I still haven't gotten back into posting the weekly deals for this blog, and I'm so sorry for that.  I would like to get back into it, but truthfully, Coborn's doesn't excite me most weeks ,so it's difficult to get jazzed to write each week's post.

At any rate, there are some fairly good deals this week so I hope to get up a post about that soon.

Today I noticed a new sign near the entrance of the Albertville Coborn's store today.  I'm not sure of this is at all Coborn's stores, but there was a printed sign by where they have the weekly flyer displayed & other coupons/rebates/offer forms that you can take.  It basically said that they welcome manufacturer's coupons, including internet-printable coupons, but they had two new rules:

1. They will no longer accept internet-printed coupons for completely free items.  I can't recall if there have been any of these issued in the past few months, but I would imagine these are pretty rare.  However, I know that sometimes when you get a coupon for a free item in the mail (I'm thinking of the Digorno pizza coupon that was out recently), they look like internet coupons.  Will these not be accepted?
2. They will not accept coupons that are over half of the value of the item.  I am going to have to double check this one, as I couldn't wrap my head around it in the store.  So, are they saying that if it's a $5 item, you cannot use a coupon that's over $2.50?  I suppose that makes sense, but what if an item is on sale for $1 and you have a $1 off coupon because it is a great sale?  Is it based on the regular, retail price?  I will try & check more into this and see if I can get more clarification.

I recently found this post from February 2010, which includes some of the Coborn's coupon policies as discussed with corporate management.  You may find it interesting, although it appears that parts of it are outdated due to the new policies listed above.

Let me know if you run into any new issues while you are shopping at Coborn's & using coupons!
