Remember my cereal deals here and here along with the newspaper subscription? Remember I ended up spending $8.35 on 2 gallons of milk and 8 boxes of cereal. Well, that would be $8.20 since I had $.15 left on the free $10 card from subscribing to the newspaper at an already cut rate.
Now, I need 10 cereal UPC codes to get a $10 gas card. That would mean that I will have gotten the cereal for free and have change left over--$0.80! Or, you could just say that I get free gas. Either way, I have gotten 2 gallons of milk, 8 boxes of cereal and $10 gasoline, and 26 weeks of the newspaper with coupons for $42.
Tonight, I will be attaching all the UPC codes to one coupon and wait for exbf to bring back codes from the boxes I shared with him.
The best I can hope to do is $10 of free gas, unless somehow I can get more UPC codes. The deal allows 5 coupons. That means there is a possible $50 of free gas to be had! Root for me. I need more UPC codes from the right cereals!
Here is the order form for the gas card.
In my mind I can figure this many ways. Bottom line. I am saving money!
The entry must be mailed by 4/30/12.
The problem!
After I typed all the above information and put in three links, I looked more closely at the minuscule print. Oh No!
Okay, the above scenario is/was a good fantasy. I misread or obviously read what I wanted to read. The cereals to buy and from which to harvest UPC codes are:
Kellogg's All Bran Original
Kellogg's All-bran Bran Buds
Kellogg's All-Bran Complete Wheat Flakes
Kellogg's Smart Start Strong Heart All-Bran Antioxidant
Kellogg's Corn Flakes
Kellogg's Raisin Bran
Kellogg's Crispix Cereal
Kellogg's Product 19
Kellogg's Mueslix
Kellogg's Cracklin Oat Bran
Kellogg's Lowfat Granola with Raisins
Kellogg's Lowfat Granola without Raisins
Kellogg's Lowfat Granola Original
Kellogg's Rice Krispies
Kellogg's Rice Krispies Gluten Free
Whew!
I have none of these cereals! Not one box! I have had Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran and Rice Krispies in the last year. I could have had two gas cards if I had mine and the UPC codes from exbf. Bummer!
There is a cereal deal right now, but I cannot afford ten boxes, even with the sale and coupons.
Go get your coupon to get a free gas card if you can get 10 UPC codes. I am on a quest for people who have stray codes I can have. I need a lift and free gas cards would be perfect, said by a woman who has $2, no gas, and a week to make it last. Care of Fancy just did me in financially this month.
I had such great plans for this coupon...ack! And, now it's gone with the wind.
This is my second post today, so don't miss the one I just posted before this.
Your turn
What kind of fantastic deals have you found? Are you going to get one of these gas cards? Did you ever think you had found the pot of gold beneath the rainbow and then find you had it all wrong?

ReplyDeleteRats! That was a nasty little surprise. Well, on the bright side you are healthier for not eating premade cereals, and it's hard to put a price on health.
ReplyDeleteLindaM,
ReplyDeleteWell, I can give you some of these coupons if they are not still on the Internet! I eat little cereal, anyway.I don't intend on telling anyone where I go if I truly must leave. Oh, if they ever find me, they will tell me how hurt they are...pooo on them.
Sue,
These are not a large part of my diet. Well, I overeat the Kellogs Red Special K because it has strawberries in it.
If I had any Kellogg's UPCs I'd be happy to send them your way, but we don't buy much cereal and when we do it's usually store brand. Hopefully more companies will offer gas card promos this summer; seems like it would be a great way to drum up business.
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteI only buy cereal when it's a better deal than store brand--on sale and with a coupon. Thanks, I would take any UPCs I could get my hands on. I have not given up yet since there is six weeks to go.
Ha! I never thought of companies offering more gas cards this summer. Maybe I will save all grocery receipts and UPC codes...just what I need-trash.
