There are several cereal deals at Target right now. Since there are so many ways to do this scenario, I am going to give you twoeasy options and one option if your store is coupon friendly. Also, as of now, the Free Fiber Plus coupon is deducting $4.29 – this could change at any time.
Your success with this deal depends on what your Target will allow for coupon usage. My local Targets registers are beeping if you use more than 2 like coupons.
Idea #1 (if you have 1 computer)
Buy 3 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Cereals $2.66 each (must buy 3)
Buy 3 Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Cereal $2.66 each (must buy 3)
use (1)$1.00/2 Kellogg’s Cereal printable
use (2) Free Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Target Coupon (will deduct $4.29
$1.06 each after coupon
Idea #2 (if you have 2 computer)
Buy 3 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Cereals $2.66 each (must buy 3)
Buy 3 Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Cereal $2.66 each (must buy 3)
use (1)$1.00/2 Kellogg’s Cereal printable
use (3) Free Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Target Coupon (will deduct $4.29 each)
$.35 each after coupons
Note: If you have the $5/1 Toy Story 3 Game/Toy wyb Keebler/Kellogg’s @Target (RP 6/13/10) coupon, you may score a cheap toy.
Idea #3
Buy 5 Kellogg’s Special K Cereal $2.75 each
Buy 4 Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Cereal $2.66 each (must buy 3)
Total $24.39
Get 1 Free Cereal wyb 4 automatically -$2.75
Total $21.64
Use (4) Free Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Target Coupon (will deduct $4.29)
Total: $4.48
Use (2) $1.00/2 Printable Coupon
$2.48 or $.28 each
Thanks, Living Rich With Coupons
*Note – if you are having trouble printing the Target coupon, try choosing another coupon to print with it.

@Lauren,
Just checked, its still there.
Why do you have to buy Special K cereal on deal #3?? Would frosted flakes not work? I was just wondering, because I would rather do that deal, but we do not like Special K. Thanks!

@Heather,
and special k is the one that is buy 4, get 5th free.
omg I lOVE you FTM I went to check the comments for this problem and saw your troubleshooting tip – I couldn’t get the Free cereal coupon to print by itself and sure enough I clicked another coupon and it worked! thanks!
On Option #2, if you buy 4 of each type of cereal (the antioxidant, and the flakes) and use 2 $1/2 and 4 Antioxidant coupon) you pay $.26 per box- $2.12 for all 8 boxes.
If I have my math correct that is, and since I really am horrible at math, I could be wrong.

@Christine Bondi,
you could but the price does jump up on the Antioxidant because its 3/$8.00 and then the prices change. I just realized this for the last scenario too.
Ok, I do not see anything about a buy 4 get 5th free ceral deal in my ad, where did you see it so I can be sure? thanks. And how do I subscribe to this forum??

@sandra,
I saw it in store. :) Feel free to ask questions.
You mean subscribe to blog or just to these comments?
Has anyone gotten this to work? Why wouldn’t it ring up the sale price for the ‘free’ price or perhaps the cashier would have to type in the price?
Also, why couldn’t you use 4 $1/2 and get it down to .48 total? You have over $4 left so there shouldn’t be beeps and there are at least 8 boxes of cereal so 4x 2=8 boxes, and doesn’t redplum allow 2 prints per computer? the deal (3) already needs 2 computers. And if it doesn’t allow 2 prints, general kelloggs cereal coupons are all over the place.
sorry so many posts!

@sandra,
Sandra,
Target coupons automatically take the amount off, its $4.29
That is up to you to use all those coupons — no way it will fly at my Target.. no coupons on the free items.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info! The third deal worked for me with no problem. :)
Just these comments, like if someone isn’t responding and I want to see all the comments without bookmarking the page. And thanks for the other reply! ;)

@sandra,
Let us know how you do!
The #3 deal worked great for me today. Though, instead of 5 Special K cereals, I substituted 4 other Kellogg’s cereals that I like better. Still a great price! And I used the $5 off ToyStory 3 toy, too, for the kiddos. Thanks!
I went shopping at my local Target today in Huntington Beach, CA and was told I could only use one like coupon per item. I purchased 2 bottles of Olay body wash and had 2 coupons, one coupon for each bottle. After asking for a manager, she told me in very fine print at the bottom of most mfg. coupons reads “limit one item per coupon” or words of the same. I told her I have always used muliple coupons for years and asked if this is a new policy. She said this has always been the policy of Target and only one Target coupon can be used per like item also. The store is Huntington Beach East (714) 849-1814.
Please claify. Thank you

@Susan Yoshida,
I would suggest you call Target corporate and clarify with them – Target coupons specifically do say one per customer so they may not accept them.
Hi, For Deal #1 if I were to print two of the $1/2 would I still be able to use it since I am paying for the third box of Fiber plus instead of getting it for free anyways? I am still new at this. Thanks for any guidance. :)

@Amanda,
Yes you could.
I tried deal #3. The Special K deal worked and then the cashier caught that it was taking off 4.29 and tried to edit it down and then called a manager who said because the Special K was a deal I couldn’t use the free coupons cuz it said one per personbut he woulda let me use one for free and i said no thanks.. may try at a diff store tomorrow
Alright, I went to do #3 and the cashier said I could only use 2 identical target coupons in the same transaction, which I have been told before (not every time though, and once or twice I have been told only ONE coupon, because often, THATS WHAT IT SAYS!) *sigh* so, I said ok, sure. The 3/$8 rang up 2.66 still (which I forgot about). I took the 5th (free) cereal out.
Good news is the 2 $1/2 still rang up so,
2 Kelloggs Antioxidents cereals @ 2.66 ea. + 2 Kelloggs cereals at 2.75
- 2 Free coupons and – 2 $1/2 coupons
= .24, yay!
No 5th box, but I can go back and get the other half of my deal if I can get more kellogg’s coupons.
My husband just went and got 5 Special K cereals and 3 Fiber Plus. I had gotten 3 of the free Fibre Plus coupons and then had problem with my computer or I would’ve gotten a 4th. I also had .75/1 Kashi or Kelloggs from a Target coupon book I got in the mail and a$1/1 Low Fat granola that I had printed some time ago and never used as well as a $1/2 Kelloggs and the $5/1 TS3 item wyb 5 Kelloggs. So for $8.35 he got 8 boxes of cereal and a Mr. Potato Head (that our daughter was asking for the other day and her birthday is this month). The cereal ended up being .42 ea.
Thank you for all your work on these deals and your info. My husband and I both love the deals we are able to get. :)
Thanks again,
Sheri
