B1cerealG1bar coupon question

[spanishpoet]

Just a quick question re: B1 Special K Cereal G1 Special K Fruit Crisps 125g coupon – in the fine print it says “Limit one coupon per item purchased. Not valid with any other coupon offer” – does this mean that we cannot use another coupon with it? I.e. Use the $2.00 kellogg’s special K ceral coupon and the B1cerealG1 bar coupon in the same transaction (and get $2 off the cereal plus the free bars)?

[jjwbuster]

I have used another coupon and had no problem. For example:

Special K b1g1 free and a $1 off coupon.

The coupon for b1g1 is for the free product and the $1 coupon is for the box that I have to purchase to get the free one.

Ya, I haven't had problems in that situation either, I'm just wondering about that "not valid with our coupon" part - I had some issue at walmart today (even though i often have issues at that location) that made me second guess.

Technically we are not allowed to. It all depends on whether or not the cashier reads the fine print or cares. I personally wouldn't try it because it goes against the rules and don't want to make it harder for myself or others to use coupons at stores who are already sceptical.

I don't understand how it is against the "rules". The b1g1 free is for the free product but another $1 off coupon would be for the product you pay full price for. This isn't stacking and you aren't using more than 1 coupon per product.

So in the instance of spanishpoet "B1 Special K Cereal G1 Special K Fruit Crisps 125g coupon" :

B1G1 coupon is used on the Special K fruit crisps and if they had a $1 off Special K cereal coupon, they could use the $1 off the cereal.

However from what I understand if you had 2 Special K fruit crisps (B1 cereal G1 Fruit Crisps and another coupon for fruit crisps) you wouldn't be able to use both unless you shop London Drugs.

As I cashier I wouldn't take them and would get into trouble if I did take them you are using two coupons for one offer which is NOT allowed. Use one or the other.

I agree with you. The offer for the free snack bar would not be valid without the purchase of the cereal, therefore, you are stacking if you try to apply another coupon to the cereal.

It's really a judgement call, I'm sure you will have lots of people tell they have been successful doing this, and others who say the store will get reimbursed anyway....I personally wouldn't do it.

I guess this is where I disagree:

Coupon for B1G1: this coupon is for the free product similar to an FPC
Coupon for cereal: a $1 off coupon for cereal for the product that you paid full price for

2 different products - 2 different offers. The cereal and the fruit crisps are 2 separate purchases. It would be the same as if you bought the cereal and a fruit crisps and used a FPC for the fruit crisps and a $1 off coupon for the cereal. One just does not state B1G1. No different but just different wording for the free product.

food basics would not let me use the 2.00 off nutrigrain bars in conjunction with te b2g1 coupon.

This wouldn't be stacking but rather using a coupon in conjunction with another offer. And if one or both of the coupons in question states that can't be combined with any other coupon offer, then like one poster said - it's one or the other.
