By the time this week is done if you don’t have enough cereal to last you for 3 months, you didn’t try very hard! 🙂 Randalls had a HOT deal and now it is HEB’s turn!
At HEB when you buy any 10 items that have Box Tops, you get a $5 catalina back, funny we just talked about these in this weeks radio show, you can go HERE if you missed it.
Anyway, back to the deal… so you buy 10 items that have box tops and get $5 back. There is a “B” coupon for $4 off any 4 General Mills cereals that is one of the yellow hang tag coupons, because it has a “B” on it you can COMBINE a manufacturer coupon with it!
PLUS, the Betty Crocker fruit snacks have the same deal. Buy 4 get $4 off the fruit snacks, these are also “B” coupons and so I combined them with manufacturer coupons!! Now, with my order I got 2 $5 catalinas back that my cashier used on the order I was buying. This does NOT normally happen, in fact the catalinas are for your next purchase but she took them off this order, don’t expect that to happen, I just got lucky!
This is how my transaction looked:
Buy 12 Honey Nut Cheerios $2.45
Buy 4 Golden Grahams $2.45
Buy 12 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $2.36
Used 3 $4 off “B” HEB Coupons Honey Nut Cheerios
Used 1 $4 off “B” HEB coupon for Golden Graham
Used 3 $4 off “B” HEB coupon for Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks
Used 8 $1/2 General Mills Cereals 6/19/2011 SS Insert (exp 7/30/2011)
Used 6 $0.50/2 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks 5/22/2011 SS Insert (exp 7/16/2011)
Used $10 catalina ( I got lucky on this, should have been off my next purchase)
Total: $19.70!
OR $.67 a box!!
** you have until June 28th to do this deal, that is when the $4 coupons expire. Also, this was advertised in last weeks ad, they have signs in the store. One of my HEB did not have the $4 coupons, but my HEB market did, so you might have to look at a few different stores.
Kristy says
I just moved to Texas and am not familiar with HEB and using coupons. Could you please explain “B” coupons and where to find them? I would love to do this deal! Thanks!
Tiffany says
They have yellow hang tag coupons in the store by the products, if they have a “m” on them they are manufacturer coupons, if they have a “B” they are store and you can combine them with mfq!
TC says
Is this in the ad for this week? or is it just advertised in the store?
nikki Eddy says
niiiiiiiiiice!
Katrina says
Did this deal just start today or is it ending today? Didn’t see it in the ad. Need to determine if I must run out today.
Corrin says
Do yo know/remember the expriation date on the “B” coupons?
Tiffany says
June 28th
Megan says
Do you know when the yellow “B” coupon ex? I went to HEB yesterday and I must have missed that one.
Thanks
Mindy says
Awesome deal! I didn’t see this deal on the Catalina website, though. Do you know where I can find this to print just in case the catalina does not print at the register?
Deanna says
is this the last day for the cereal deal, i need cereal badly???
Tiffany says
No you have until the 28th
Deanna says
Sweet. Thanks for all your work! Your site save me and my family SO much money.
Misty says
My cashier also took the $5 off instantly instead of on my next order.
Rachel says
So, to get the 2 $5 cats, you need to buy 20 boxtop items, right? In your order it looks like you only bought 18, but got the 2 catalinas. Am I missing something? Just trying to make sure I know what I need to buy!!
Tiffany says
The cats come back from the fruit snacks as well I think… because you are right, I bought 18 boxes of cereal and 12 boxes of fruit snacks! I must have gotten one for the fruit snacks…. I will try it out again tomorrow.
JJ says
I’m confused…its buy 10 items get 5 catalina….did you want to 20 items so you can get 2 of the $5 catalinas? from looking at your items looks like you got 12+4+12=28? or were you wanting to buy 30 to get 3 of the $5 catalinas?
v2four says
all,
dont know if it is true or not, but I was in HEB on mason and highland ridge in Katy last night, had $12 in items and $$8.00 in INTERNET printed coupons…after my items rung up, I handed internet coupons to cashier, and he told me that HEB does not accept internet coupons anymore due to the rampant fraud occuring with fake coupons. He took my coupons this time, but is anyone aware of this new HEB policy? Their coupon policy is not updated with that info on internet coupons, or is it just this HEB? Im going to do the cereal deal this morning so I will ask the courtesy booth while I am there and follow up.
Tiffany says
I posted the coupon policy for HEB in a post today, print that off and take it with you! Call corporate and ask them to clarify!
v2four says
my apologies guys…HEB does not accept “FREE” coupons from the internet. I used the free lipton tea coupon last night, the cashier told me they didnt take internet coupons anymore, but its only on free items without a purchase.
I took advantage of the cereal deal today, but I only needed four boxes(since I only have a household of three)..bought four boxes of honey nut cheerios at $2.54 each, used the $4 off coupon when you buy four and two $1/2 INTERNET(haha) coupons. (2.54X4=10.16-4=6.16-2=$4.16 OOP or $1.04 per box!!!! what a steal….I would have purchased the fruit rollups too to get the $5.00 catalina, but I already give my son way too many sweets, so I passed this time.
tess says
i want to buy like 30 boxes of fruit snacks for my family and some to share- can you help me figure how what i should do-do i need to break them up? i dont have coupons…buy 10 and get 5.00 back-plus use the 4.00 coupon? help-thanks so much
Tiffany says
Just do 3 transactions of 10 each, roll the $5 catalinas back on each order to take $5 more off. PLus use any coupons that you have!
tess says
Also where can i find a list of the current catalinas? thanks
Krystal says
Is it only the Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams included, or are other types of cereal included as well for the $4 off 4 coupon?
Tiffany says
MANY others! Those are the ones I had coupons for 🙂
Kristy says
I went to HEB and could not find the yellow tags anywhere! What are the dates of the sale?
Tiffany says
The sale ends on the 28th. One of my stores did not have the coupons, but my other store did, so you might have to look in another store.
Vee says
Does anyone know if General Mills is the only company that has box tops?
Tiffany says
Betty Crocker has box tops too! Found coupons for Hamburger Helper, Brownies, and Suddenly salad. Haven’t tried it yet though.
Vee says
Went to the HEB in Pearland and the computer wouldn’t allow me to use 12 Manu coupons with 3 B HEB coupons for 12 boxes of cereal. They weren’t sure why but wouldn’t take them. I was trying to by fiber one cereal and had a bunch of $.75/1 q’s. Very frustrating. Be prepared that this may not work for everyone.
