    I read it as you can purchase all items but only one of each. Essentially, you can get up to 10 different items for free.

    My rebate says (one per item, check all that apply). I read that as you can get one of each item. Do you think I am reading that wrong? If I am not, this could be a nice fat check πŸ™‚

    A correction: You don’t get only one item, you can get one of each item! Great deal! You get one of each Free! Awesome. I am going to use coupons too; who knows, they might even refund the before coupon price!

  4. Charlene says

    02/05/2012 at 6:01 PM

    I can see how it could be read either way. That seems like quite a rebate to get 10 items free. I was looking at the bold print at the bottom that says limit 1 rebate per household. It could be all 10 items but I can’t say for sure.

  5. Rachel says

    02/05/2012 at 6:03 PM

    I don’t see the rebate in my paper or coupons…I guess it is only available in certain areas?

  6. Charlene says

    02/05/2012 at 6:04 PM

    Well this is what Safeway said on the Facebook page:

    Safeway John, the General Mills “Try Me Free” Rebate will be available in tomorrow’s paper. You will be able to receive the rebate for up to 10 items, but you are not required to purchase all 10. We hope this helps! -Alex, Customer Support

    But I don’t have a lot of faith in what these customer service people say. I guess you can buy one of each but that really seems like quite a rebate so I am not promising anything.

    Maybe the limit 1 per household means you need to buy all the items you want on one receipt?

  7. Denise says

    02/05/2012 at 6:11 PM

    I will buy it on one receipt just in case and to keep it simple for me, but it seems like only one form per household. It says, “One per item, check all that apply,” so it seems that you can submit for up to all

    I am so bummed that we didn’t get this in Fresno. We have Vons, so it would have worked… πŸ™

    The GM website has a $1 off the Dulce Leche Cheerios.

    At my Safeway affiliate (Tom Thumb) in DFW they had tear pad rebates for this same rebate in multiple places in the store yesterday. I saw ones on the freezer doors. So if you didn’t get the coupon in your insert you might want to check your store for tearpads.

  12. Charlene says

    02/05/2012 at 9:52 PM

    I was hoping that would be the case Susan. Thanks for confirming!

  13. ELayne says

    I purchased all 10 items for $23.95, got 10 Boxtops for education and 2 bonus catalinas with 40 boxtops!

    you don’t need to post this but when i get my coupon binder out of the car i found tons of deal match ups for unadvertised sales last night at safeway most of them run till the 14th as well one to point out which was fantastic and this is why you always take your coupon binder and not just the coupons you know you’ll need 8 bar pack of irish spring soap three different varieties to choose but it was on sale for $2.99 and 2 .75 off coupons written in spanish for irish spring soap or body wash. i think i got these as a filler when i was ordering coupons to hit a certain mark anyways my safeway doubles so i got each package for $1.50 which i think is fantastic. one thing you might want to mention as well about safeways for those of us who plan our trips out safeway will not manualy add the new coupons with the double bar codes if you go through the self check out. these do not scan yet at the checkouts but apparently they just informed the stores tat they could not adjust. i like using the self checkout but my check out girl let me know ahead of time so almost all the new coupons have these but the registers are not yet up to date so just be aware. apparently a customer went through then started doing her coupons at the end and blew up at my store and custed everone out and called corporate this is the same women who apparently also bout 60 yes 60 of the POM drinks with the 1.00 off coupon. it pays to be cival and managers appreciate it my store manager gave me a closed lane last night to put my purchases on the way i wanted because i wanted to split my $75 order up for two $10 off coupons and then when i was ready i let him know and he came and rang my purchases. they are always nice to me but i treat them with respect as well they are just employees doing there job so they can have a job tommorrow . i will send a list later with the deal matchups

  15. Juliana says

    02/06/2012 at 10:25 AM

    would someone have an extra they could send me? I’d be willing to trade coupons!!!! Please let me know! I didnt recieve one..must be regional?

    Thanks!!

    I didn’t see a rebate form in my San Jose Mercury News on Sunday. I also don’t see it written on the safeway facebook page. I will look in my local store to see if there is a tearpad with the rebate. sounds pretty good deal.

  17. Charlene says

    02/06/2012 at 2:28 PM

    I read through all the wall posts to find the quote above Cathy.

  18. Lisa says

    02/06/2012 at 7:21 PM

    If anyone didn’t get one, email me at [email protected]
    I have a few extras. πŸ™‚

    I sent my rebate in the second week of Feb. I haven’t gotten mine back yet, just wondering if anyone else has?

  23. Kelli says

    04/13/2012 at 2:56 PM

    I haven’t gotten mine either.

  24. Wunzen says

    04/17/2012 at 3:37 PM

    I haven’t gotten my rebate either, I sent it in Feb as well!!! What is going on?? Can we contact them?

  25. Jane says

    04/17/2012 at 4:21 PM

    I can’t remember how long it said it would take, but for me 10 weeks would be next week, so Im hoping to get it then!

  26. Danny C says

    04/29/2012 at 9:22 AM

    I haven’t received mine yet either and I mailed it on 2/29. It’s been exactly two months.

  27. Nina says

    04/30/2012 at 11:53 PM

    I was just wondering the same thing as I havent received mine either yet.. Anyone try to contact them yet??

  28. Kelli says

    05/01/2012 at 7:57 AM

    I received mine about 2 weeks ago.

  29. DesertDebbi says

    05/02/2012 at 9:13 AM

    I havent got mine back either. Mine was mailed 2-12-12. Wish I had been smart enough to write down the number to call them LOL.

  30. Nina says

    05/02/2012 at 10:55 AM

    me tooo.. anyone know the number to contact them???

  31. Danny says

    05/02/2012 at 11:03 AM

    I actually save pictures of rebate forms I send in (via Evernote) so that I can keep track of outstanding rebates and mark them off when I receive them. After looking at the images of the front and back of the rebate card, there actually isn’t a phone number provided to check on the status. They don’t have anything beyond the PO Box where we mailed the rebate. Hopefully I’m surprised soon with a $20 rebate check in the mail. πŸ™‚

  32. Nina says

    05/02/2012 at 1:55 PM

    tnx Danny, yes lesson learned I will be doing that from now on.. I just think 10 weeks is quite enough time for it to come.. I think I spent about $40 on everything I bought so hopefully I will be surprised also πŸ™‚ .. Anyone that received a check happen to have a number on your envelope or check?? tnx πŸ™‚

  33. DesertDebbi says

    05/02/2012 at 2:10 PM

    I researched this a little more by contacting GM directly, and they refered me to safeway. I spoke with an awesome customer service lady there who told me that they don’t have a number either, but she was able to give me the following information: only about 16% of the rebates have been processed so far. She said she will be getting back to me by friday with more information. So at least we know they are still working on them.

  34. Wunzen says

    05/02/2012 at 2:14 PM

    Thank you very much DesertDebbi your info is really helpful and hopeful hehe ^_^

  35. Danielle says

    05/17/2012 at 12:46 PM

    Mailed mine 2/11/12 and still no check as of 5/17/12. Kept copies of everything, no phone number, website, or email addresses listed on the form. Only this mailing address: Try Me Free, PO Box 43347, Atlanta, GA 30336.

  36. Jane says

    05/17/2012 at 2:29 PM

    Danielle, I mailed mine about the same time and I just got it a few days ago. I bet yours will come any day now!
    Jane

  37. DesertDebbi says

    05/18/2012 at 1:15 PM

    I am happy to say mine arrived a few days ago! Keep holding the faith it WILL get there! If you are concerned call Safeway directly to find out more. Their customer service people helped me find out that mine was indeed recieved, and being processed.

    05/21/2012 at 8:01 PM

    I have sent a rebate on 2/17th, but haven’t received yet. It seems like taking long to recieve it. I am just going to look forward to it!!!

    But I would like to ask everyone that if anyone has sent recalled medicines to Novartis? I have sent all my bottles which qualified to get money back on 1/19th , but still waiting…. anyone?!

  39. DesertDebbi says

    05/22/2012 at 9:35 AM

    Yoko:
    I got mine a LONG time ago.. about a month after I sent it in! Have you called Novartis to check on the status of your refund yet? I would if I were you.

  40. yoko says

    05/23/2012 at 8:56 AM

    thanks I will do so! Actually I have sent about 16 bottles of excedrin etc…
    Hope I get all money back ! Thanks again

  43. Tammy says

    06/06/2012 at 10:23 AM

    I still have not received my rebate. Can you please give me the phone # so I can call and follow up on the rebate.

  44. Danielle says

    09/20/2012 at 10:23 AM

    General Mills 1-800-248-7310 is handing these. Did you all send in your UPC bar code symbols, even from the yogurt cups?

  45. Svetlana G says

    11/16/2012 at 10:33 AM

    I’ve sent my rebate form with all the required attachments back on September, 2012. I still didn’t received a rebate check and there is no a contact number to call.

  46. Charlene says

    11/16/2012 at 11:01 AM

    Svetlana,

    You might check the comments on the prior post because I believe people mentioned how they got in touch with the rebate company.

  48. Charlene says
