General Mills Rebate & Safeway

Here is a great "Try Me Free" Offer from General Mills that is only good at Safeway or its affiliate stores (Carrs, Dominick's, Genuardi's, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and Vons). You must include UPC's and an original cash register tape showing purchases made between 2/5/12 and 3/31/12.

I read about this offer online, and since we did not receive it locally in our inserts, I traded with someone in California for it.

The rebate gives your purchase price back on 10 different General Mills products:  Cheerios Dulce de Leche flavor cereal, Cheerios Multigrain Peanut Butter flavor cereal, Fun-da-Middles, Yoplait Greek yogurt, Yoplait Greek yogurt with Granola, Ocean Spray Fruit Shapes, Progresso Soup, Totino's Pizza Stuffers, Pillsbury Breakfast sandwiches,  and Nature Valley Protein bars.

I was able to find 8 of these products at my Safeway and had coupons for 4 of them. I paid about $18.52 for my groceries, and I hope to get nearly $30 back on the rebate!

Here are the coupons I used:

Cheerios Multi Grain Peanut Butter cereal - save .80

Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter - Save $1.00

Ocean Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks - .50 off in the General Mills insert of 2-5-12

Fun-Da-Middles Cupcakes - .50 off in the General Mills insert of 2-5-12

Safeway doubles coupons up to .99 face value with your store rewards card. A nice bonus on this purchase was that I received a Catalina coupon worth 20 Box Tops for Education!
