If you live near a Safeway and have access to internet coupons then you are in luck! This week Safeway is running a promotion where you save $4 when you buy any 4 participating General Mills cereals, Nature Valley granola bars, or Betty Crocker fruit snacks. Plus you get a coupon for a free package of Capri Sun. Totally time to stock up on cereal and snacks and get some free juice while you're at it!
Today was the first time I attempted to do two transactions back to back and it went pretty well. I was a little nervous since I'd never done it before, but it really wasn't a big deal. A tip I've read online is to "profile" checkers and whenever possible find a young male checker since they're the least likely to question coupons or raise a stink about doing multiple transactions etc. So I found the young guy at the end and he rang me up without one problem. I think I'll be back in his line in the future!
Here's how I did it. For this one you don't need any Sunday paper coupons and you can print all the coupons online. Don't forget to sign up for Cellfire to get extra savings!
Transaction 1:
2 boxes of Cocoa Puffs (hey, they make for a good snack!) $2.50 each
$1/1 internet coupon found here
$.75/1 internet coupon found here (I had to use this one because I already used one of my $1 off coupons at Target last week but obviously it would be better to print out two $1 off coupons if you can!)
(2) $.75/1 Cellfire coupon found here
2 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch $2.50 each
(2) $.55/1 internet coupon found here
Total for Transaction 1: $1.65
Transaction 2:
2 boxes of Trix cereal (another good snack!) $2.50 each
(2) $.55/1 coupon found here
$.55/2 Cellfire coupon found here
Total: $1.35
2 boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $2.50 each
$1/2 internet coupon found here
(2) $.40/1 Cellfire coupon found here
Total: $1.20
10 pack of Capri Sun $2.50
FREE with coupon from Transaction 1
Total for Transaction 2: $2.55
Grand Total: $4.20 which is $.42 an item
The max. is 20 items for this deal and so I'll be back for another 12 once I finish rounding up my coupons!

Sa-weet! I'm trying it tomorrow! Thanks for sharing.
Wahoo!! That is AWESOME! I'm going back tomorrow to do it again to get more granola bars, and I'm going to try the Nature Valley clusters thing. I won't get a Capri Sun, but I'll get 6 bags of snacks for no more than $2! I'll post pics if I'm successful! FOUR transactions. We'll see!
