I went to 5 different publix stores today. 1 refused to let me use the coupon on progresso bread crumbs and GM flour. After that, I checked at customer service first. 3 of the customer service people (at 3 diff. stores) said ANY general mills. But, every time at checkout it was an issue using this coupon. They pushed it through for me, but they made me feel bad about it.

I wish the coupon were clearer. I don’t want to take advantage of Publix, but I also love to get a good deal. They need to make the language clearer so we can all play by the rules.

Competitor Qs ring up as named, so it doesn’t usually conflict with Publix store Qs. I haven’t had problems with using Target Qs with CVS.

I really dont want to get cereal but other stuff. I called 3 stores in 2 states (were between AL and FL) and nobody seems to know how to deal with this coupon down here.

You can also go to Publix’s website, click on weekly ad, then click on teh coupon tab. You can print the $4/4 coupon as many times as you want. That saves you from having to grab 4-5 ads just to clip the Q out of it.

I bought 2 Toaster Strudels and 2 Pillsbury pizza crusts because my $1.00 off coupons were expiring tomorrow. (Total= $2.05) I went in and asked at the service desk and the clerk said “There should not be a problem”. The cashier was a little confused, but once I showed her that the back of the box said General Mills, she agreed that I should be able to use the coupon. And then the supervisor had to come over because I only bought 4 items and had 5 coupons, but she ok’d it too. Guess I was lucky. I’m going back tomorrow for the Muir Glen.

I went to Publix today and used the coupon on the Simply Coookies. Worked great!Got 4 of them for free. They had no problem honoring it. The lady actually brought it up before I did!

I checked my store today and the $4/4 coupon was in the weekly sale flyer at the front of the store, in the turnstile.

Another place for a General Mills Cereal coupon (in case your store is only allowing you to use the ad coupon on cereal). This one has some of the less healthy (and therefore more popular with my husband and kids) cereals, $1/2.

The Valleydale store said Nature Valley products and GM cereal only. The GM rep in the store said that was the intention of the promo.

If you are planning to use this q to get movie tickets, from what I have seen, the boxes for the ticket promo are larger than the sale 4/$10 boxes. If possible get a raincheck today for the current GM bogo.

For what its worth, I just got back from a shopping trip to Publix. I bought 4 Muir Glen tomato sauces to use with the coupon in the flyer. When the cashier questioned it, I explained that General Mills was the parent company and she told that the product had to SAY General Mills. So it seems that it has to be from the General Mills line of products.

the manager tried to say the same thing that it was for cereal. But I told her it says “any 4 general mills or nature valley product” Cereal is just pictured. But the coupon comes off as $4 cereal

Just so you know I went to publix this am and they are only allowing this coupon to be used on general mills cereals. Not all general mills products. I’m disapointed but agree that arguing with the best grocery store in town is only going to make them less likely to offer future promotions like this.
