Default Free milk catalina

Buy 3 GM cereals and get 1 free gallon of milk (up to 4.50)

Buy any combination of 6 or more GM cereals, Betty Crocker fruit snacks, Nature Valley granola bars or GM cereal bars and get 2 free gallons of milk (up to 9.00)

I haven't tried yet because I'm planning to do my serious grocery shopping on Sunday. Did anyone try?

Well this is what I bought with the in ad 'super' coupons:
2 Nature Valley cereal (or other 'adult' cereal, Cheerios work)
2 Cinnamon Toast Crunch (or other 'kid' cereal)
2 Betty Crocker Fruit Roll Ups
There are coupons in ad to make the cereal 2/$3 and the fruit snacks 2/$2
So total before manf q's = $8 - manf q's = $4 (my store doubles 1 like q)
So I've paid $4 and gotten 3 milk catalinas each time. I was only expecting 2 since that's what the catalina says, but I'm not going to complain for more free milk.
So I bought 6 items to get the 3 cats.

Well tpphan I think your problem was you only bought 2 cereals. You need to either buy 3 cereals for 1 milk cat. Or 6 cereals/fruit snacks/granola bars for 2 or 3 milk cats.

I did this deal twice now over the weekend.

Both time, I bought
2 BC Fruit snacks
2 Nature Valley Granora bars
2 Nature Valley cereals

I wanted to get some cin crunch but they were all out!!

Anyway, I got 4 gal. of free milk which is great because my family drink milk a lot. (It's only my DH and DD and these two people use milk a lot!!)

Just be careful with expiration date because it's rather short. I think it's only good for two weeks or so.

I didn't try to combine in-ad coupon and man. coupon because my Safeway isn't too coupon friendly, so I didn't want to push my luck.

It looks like there are actually 2 promotions, and if you do the purchase correctly you get 3 catalinas:

promo 1 - buy 3 cereals get 1 catalina
promo 2 - buy 6 various products, get 2 catalinas

If you buy 6 products, including at least 3 cereals, you trigger BOTH promotions

Maismom bought 6 items each time, but only 2 cereals, and got 2 catalinas
Others have bought 3 or more cereals and gotten 3!
