There is a good deal on Frosted Mini Wheats this week that reader Sarah figured out. They are priced at $1.99 each for the 15.8-18 oz boxes and there is a $1/2 printable coupon.
To make the deal even better, Sarah also got a catalina coupon for a free gallon of milk when you buy 3 boxes of Mini Wheats 14.5oz or larger! This catalina is running from 10/24-11/20 and it will print out as a free item coupon after you buy your boxes of cereal.
So here are two deal ideas:
Buy 4 boxes at $1.99 each with in ad coupon
Use (2) $1/2 printables
Final Price: $5.96 for 4 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk up to $3.60.
OR
Buy 3 boxes at $1.99
Use $1/2 printable
Final Price: $4.97 for 3 boxes of cereal plus a gallon of milk up to $3.60.
(So your 4th box is basically .99)
Sometimes these catalina promotions are regional but I believe this one is running at other stores right now so it should be nationwide. If you decide to try this be sure to come back and let me know how it goes for you!
See the complete list of weekly deals at Safeway here.
(Milk is about $2.80 a gallon here- so the first scenario works out to .79 a box of cereal for me.)
Thanks Sarah!
Haven’t tried this yet, but saw it advertised at out Safeway in Newberg, Oregon.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know when the catalina for the milk expires??? I’m thinking about doing multiple transactions for the free milk. Thanks!

Looks like 11/20 is when the deal ends… So you could keep doing the deal for almost a month. Not sure of the expiration date on the actual catalina though… But that is quite a while 3 weeks to do this. Yay! We are kind of running low on cereal… Or I guess what I should say is in July or August when I stocked up I bought a ton of corn flakes and that is all we have left and we are so tired of them:-P Lol. DH said I ruined his fondness of Corn Flakes by buying so much:-( Frosted miniwheats would be a nice change.
Haha, I know! My bf actually loves frosted mini wheats, so it’s a good deal for our household too. I’ll try to stock up. Thanks for the info.
That is so funny! We are down to about 13 boxes of cereal and I’m starting to panic. I think a few boxes of miniwheats (and some free milk), will settle me down for awhile.
my husband just went and bought these but a cat didn’t print out. i know there is a phone number somewhere to call and find out why it didn’t print out. does anyone know it? i was really looking forward to some free milk (since it has gotten extremely expensive!)
Bree if you click the link for catalina in the post you will find that information.
