Chocolate Cheerios let down!

[Pandora1417]

I got my box @ Loblaws. I too thought you were only allowed one coupon per person.

I wasn't overly fond of the cereal myself, tried it this morning, but the kids liked it.

I knew there was going to be an issue finding these. Stores have had them on sale for a couple of weeks and combine that with the "one day only" coupon there was too much demand. I checked a few stores on Monday night for them and was able to get mine at Sobey's on my way to work. They had a lot of the Choc. cheerios but very little of the shreddies

In Winnipeg, Sobey's Henderson no problem went at supper time got 1 box of each and there were tons left

Check you coupons that you have left over, there is an expiry date and some stores are honouring the coupons up to their expiry dates so maybe we can have some happy cereal days yet

I was able to use the cottonelle wipes at SDM when they were on sale a few weeks ago. You'll have to wait until another sale that will cover the maximum on the FPC.

They had them at No Frills in Calgary a couple of weeks ago for $3.28, that's
were I used. They were $3.78 or so at the Walmart.

I tried 7 stores--SDM, Safeway and Zellers--and none! I decided after the 7th that the gas wasn't worth the coupon! *sigh*

I checked this website earlier yesterday and saw that someone had posted Mayfield Save On Foods had tons so I went after work and picked up 3 and gave my 4th FPC to another customer in front of me who said her husband just loved these (she didn't have any coupons).


Crazy as it was, just a few minutes before when I was walking up to the Customer Service, a customer lifted a box of cheerios off the counter and stuck it in her bag and walked out the store. I asked the cashier if these boxes on the counter were free. Thought maybe I was missing something. However, she said no, and I said well someone just walked out the store with one. I guess it was too late to do anything, but at least it was food I guess for some needy person.

Sorry you missed out on these. Great that Save On now let you stack. They have so much more stock than LD, however they don't PM. I did stack the Campbell's soup and Ziploc B2G2 less the $4 off wub2 along with the $3 off Marinade. No problem at all at Customer Service. I did ask one of the regular cashiers if we could stack and she didn't know what I was talking about. So, head to Customer Service - they were very very helpful.
to Save On Foods - Mayfield!

If people werent bragging about getting 30 boxes there would have been some for everyone

couldnt get either kind

Stores have had these on sale for a couple of weeks now so that also depleted a lot of the stock. They created too much demand with a one day redemption coupon. However I have been reading other threads where some stores are still going to redeem them as long as they are done by the expiry date on the coupon.

i stopped trying after 4 bc the gas money wasted was equating the value of the coupon. and imo if all these stores had knowledge of this coupon, they should have stocked appropriately. I had to work all day, and was not able to get to a store until after 7pm...

[ChristieJ]

I couldn't get my hands on any also...but there were PLENTY of the Fibre 1 Cereals...I don't like this "1 day only coupon" I hope it doesn't happen again...

Why not just get the Fibre 1? If you weren't interested in it, you could've donated it to a food bank.

[Bai-Leigh]

awww that sucks! sorry to hear about that!

[mulock]

I had no problem. Then again, I hit the stores at 6:30 am.

[macw1960]

I had no problem either as I found both the Cheerios and the Fibre 1.

I only went to one store since it was in the mall and I had to be there anyway. I was lucky to find a few boxes left, they were on the bottom shelf and pushed to the back. I grabbed my 1 box and pull the other few closer to the edge so that others could see them.
