And….. you get a $5 gift card !!!  So basically Target paid you $2 to take home some yummy Natural Fiber Packed Food

I purchased the Chewy Granola Bars and the Peanut Butter ones are GREAT

***** Mail in Rebate (mir) 101*****

Right now Target is running an INCREDIBLE deal on Kellogg’s Poptarts they are 4 for $9 and when you buy 4 it kicks out a $5 Target Gift Card.  If that is not good enough they have .50 off Poptart Target printable Q’s on their website that can be used with the $1 off wyb 2 Manufactor Q from the Newspaper.

Wait… the deal gets sweeter !!  In the same newspaper flyer was a fuel for school mail in rebate.  When you buy 10 Kellog’s products they will send you a $10 check in the mail.

Oh special thanks to Louis, Sara (a very patient cashier) , and Charlotte (a very patient manager)* * all 12 of the IP Target coupons would not scan **

So here is what I purchased:

Also Right now many Kellogg Boxes have Try Me Free (MIR) inside the box.  These are great because most of them have Manufactor Q’s that go with them AGAIN making you $$$MONEY$$$ oh and FREE cereal.

Here is what I purchased.  Now remember you need to do different transactions because you have to mail in the original reciept with the rebate form and UPC.  They will reimburse you for the amount circled on the reciept.  So… you buy it for say $3.99 use the $1 off Q mail in the rebate and make $1 buck !!

This is what I purchased, or should I say this is what they paid me to take home:

2 x Colgate Advantage $2.99  x 2= $5.98

2 x Purex  (orig. $5.99) on sale for $2.99 x 2=$5.98

Total before Q’s: $11.96

Used $2 off of $10 CVS Q  -$2

Used 2 x $1.50 off Colgate Advanced (All You Magazine) – $3

Total after Q’s: $6.96      Used $6 ECB    Paid Out of Pocket $.96 !!!!!

Wait… I am not done….  The Colgate was giving 2 ECB’s/tube= $4 ECB and a HIDDEN deal… Purex was giving $1 ECB/bottle= $2 ECB

So in a nutshell I spent .96 of my own money, paid $6 ECB in “CVS money”, and recieved $6 in more “CVS money”              CRAZZZZYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
