It’s official folks, the peanut butter and dulce de leche (caramel) Cheerios are included in the Buy 10, Get $5 Instant Saving sales at Shaw’s! Only trouble is… will your store have them in stock? I have not checked Sanford yet, so not sure.
If you find stock at your Shaw’s, you can score 10 FREE BOXES by mixing and matching the various Cheerios and using printable coupons. How is that possible? Well, the cereal is on sale at Shaw’s for $1.99 each, but when you buy 10 participating items you save $5 instantly, so you save $.50 per item. That brings the total of each box down to $1.49 each. The coupons will all double so you will get at least $1.50 off per box… that makes them all FREE! (some are getting $.80/1 pb Cheerios on coupon network – I did, I did – so that might result in an overage if the cashier does not catch it)
A note about “like” coupons: One thing you need to remember is that Shaw’s will only double 4 “like” coupons. “Like” coupons are coupons that are for the exact same item and the exact same value. Two $.75 off coupons for peanut butter Cheerios are “like” coupons because they are both for $.75 off and both for peanut butter Cheerios. If you use 8 of those coupons (even if you print them from different sites), only the first 4 would double, then you’d only get $.75 off the last 4 boxes. But if you bought 8 boxes of peanut butter Cheerios and you use (4) $.75 off and (4) $.80 off coupons, all 8 coupons would double because you are only using 4 “like” coupons in each batch.
Below are some coupons you can try to print (may or may not be available) and also a shopping scenario:

For this shopping scenario, you must have access to 2 computers because you only get 2 prints per computer. I have an alternative scenario below for anyone with just one computer below.

Use (2) $0.75/1 Dulce de Leche Cheerios printable
all coupons will double
Final price is FREE for all 10 boxes (with possible $.44 overage if you have the $.80/1 coupons, so grab something worth $.44 just in case)
If you only have access to one computer, try this scenario… assuming you can print these coupons:
Buy (4) Peanut Butter Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Multi Grain Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Dulce de Leche Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10

You will get 8 boxes of FREE cereal then you pay only $.98 for the two boxes of potatoes after the coupon doubles… or only $.54 total (just $.27 each) if you get the overage! You could also do Totino’s instead of potatoes… or any other participating items.

I watched a video and got my $0.80/1 Multigrain PB Cheerios upgraded to $1.10/1 Multigrain PB Cheerios, so how does that work? Shaw’s doubles up to $0.99 right so would it be $2.09/1 Multigrain PB Cheerios in all?
Oh no!!! I used the Cheerios as an example of when NOT to use the video rewards. Shaw’s doubles up to $.99 face value. So, a $.99 coupon would double to $1.98, but a $1 coupon would not double because it’s over $.99, so it stays at $1.
As for the Cheerios coupon, in that case you wanted the $.80 coupon because that would double to $1.60. But the $1.10 won’t double since it’s over $.99, so it stays at $1.10.
Don’t fret over it! $1.10 off is still a great deal! This whole Video Rewards thing is going to have lots of people confused.
