Target has a deal running on General Mills cereals: Buy 5 and get a $5 Target gift card. The cereals are on sale for $2.50, so with gift card, they drop to $1.50 per box.
Here’s where the deal just got MUCH better… reader LetsShop spotted this one over at Hip2Save! There’s a new $1-off-3 General Mills Target store coupon to stack with the deal too — and I’ve added some more coupons to the original scenario to give you some other options too.
So, here’s a deal idea:
Buy two boxes of Peanut Butter Toast Crunch and use two $1.25-off-1 printables
Buy three more boxes of either Peanut Butter Toast Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch or Fiber One 80 Calories Chocolate cereal. You can mix and match. Then use three of the following printables:
– $1 off Fiber One 80 Calories Chocolate cereal (must register)
– $1 off MultiGrain Cheerios
– .75 off Fiber One 80 Calories Chocolate cereal
– .75 off Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch
– .75 off Peanut Butter Toast Crunch
Your best deal is to use $1.25 printables, two $1 printables and one .75 printable. This drops you to $7.25. THEN, use the $1-off-3 Target store coupon too to drop it to $6.25. Pay $6.25 and get a $5 Target gift card! That’s $1.25 for FIVE boxes, or .25 each!
If you have access to more than one computer, you can print more $1.25 printables and make the deal that much sweeter. With four $1.25 coupons, one $1 coupon, and the $1-off-3 Target coupon, you’re looking at $5.50 before gift card and just .50 AFTER gift card — for FIVE boxes! That’s .10 each!
And, as this deal spreads around, you may also find that some of these cereals will sell out..! You may also want to bring the following coupons in case you need to do some mixing and matching cereal types to put your deal together:
– .50 off Cinnamon Toast Crunch
– .50 off Chex ($1-off-2 in 1/27 SS too)
– .50 off Cheerios (.50 off in 1/27 SS too)

I just did the deal, and the Total cereals were NOT on sale in my area. I purchased 10 boxes in two transactions and ended up paying $.42 a box. I did use my Red Card, but did not get the full 5% off, so next time I am in Target I will follow up with customer service about that. If I had got the full 5%, it would have made the deal even better. I still think that $.42 each is fantastic. :) Thanks Jill. If it weren’t for this site, I never would have gotten this fantastic deal.

Does anyone know which other items are included in the buy 5 cereal deal at Target?
Last summer they included some bars. You could use your $1 off 3 target cp on the 3 cold cereals and possibly get 2 boxes of bars? (General Mills)
There are manuf. cps on those too I see.

Love your deals! I’m just getting the ‘hang’ of couponing and loving all the free deals! I’ve got a question though about the target deal. I printed off 4 $1.25 peanut butter toast crunch cereal with the link you provided, worked well thanks :). I’m slightly confused by the fine print on the coupon, it says “No other coupon may be used with this coupon” so what does this mean?

So happy about this deal as well as the Sparkle paper towel deal this week. Both were highly requested items at my local food pantry. Just a head’s up – Make sure you grab the correct size cereal. My Target had the $2.50 boxes in the middle of the cereal aisle. There were also slightly larger boxes for $3.25 on the end-caps. I almost grabbed the wrong boxes! Best of luck to all of you!

Mine is a debit card. You only get your out of pocket amount reduced by 5%, but it’s still a great deal. Every little bit counts! I have saved a lot of money with it.

The $1 Multigrain Cheerios coupon linked above prints that it is good on regular OR Peanut Butter Multigrain. I’m back from Target and the regular Multigrain ARE included in the deal, so that opens up some more options for you if your store is out of some of the other flavors.

Just picked up cereal in Lake Zurich and the register gave back a target coupon $2 off 5 big g cereal boxes. Guess it’s another trip to target tomorrow.

Just did this deal in Hodgekins/Countryside store and got a $2 Catalina off 5. Might go back and do it again if I have more MQs. They have full shelves of flavors.
