Pop

[momi]

I have used this $10 offer,(3000 points WUS $10 on food and snack)
I bought Pepsi,cream milk,eggs and bread total spent $10
Got 1200 points for cream milk and 2400 points on Pepsi while actual offer was 2400 points on sprite.
Total points I got 3600 still waiting for my 3000 bonus points when you spend $10 on food and snack.
I will update if I get the points or not....

Happy to see someone or two got this coupon I was afraid of never getting it again
I usually buy milk bread cheese chips cookies oatmeal cereal pretty much anything consumable. This coupon is so versatile it is by far my fav.
The tricky one is snacks & candy.

I received my 3000 points today,which means my purchase was qualified for this promo

All Campbells soups for food & snack but only the small condensed can works for Campbells specific coupons. Obvious and seasonal candy for candy & snack
Chocolate I find fits both categories.
I would like to know if pickles, condiments and baking supplies fit into food & snack.
Also might want to add exceptions to the rule like SK, Que and I think NB can't get points on milk.

I was actually able to buy the large size Campbells soup can for $0.49 with my personalized offer. Perhaps this is a hit and miss or glitchy coupon.

Very helpful thread. Made this in to a wiki so that others can add to the lists. Thanks everyone for your help

Does anyone know if ice cream/ ice cream bars count as snacks?

[SavvyLady]

I also received the 5,000 points when you spend $20.00 on food and snacks..but I was told milk doesn't count, has this changed? I wish we new for sure because the cashiers don't know and I don't want to chance it and wait 5 days only to be refused!!

Milk does work

Here's a few things that counted towards food and snacks for me:

Pure Leaf Iced Tea
Oasis Juice
Starbucks K-Cups
Salsa

And I'm pretty sure baking supplies like pie crust and baking soda

[Ivanasavalot]

I am reading the list....and it says that pop is in the food and snacks list....but does anyone know if it is in the candy and snacks list??? I am assuming it is considered snack rather than food???
