Free Breakfast Cereal - sort of

Options
I bought a pack of Nestle 'Pic a Pacs' cereals in Tesco's today - http://www.tesco.com/superstore/xpi/3/xpi52213343.htm for £1.21

The boxes inside the pack have coupons adding up to £1.75 (7x25p). There is also a matching coupon on each box 50c off for ROI - hence lots of them for sale on Ebay.

Our Tesco's will accept these coupons against your shopping even if you don't purchase the items, so effectively they pay you 54p to eat 8 of their mini packs of cereals - yum :D

You can't see the coupons until you have bought the multi pack and opened the sellophane covering. My boxes are dated BBE 31-05-09 and the coupons are valid until 30-09-09.

Guess what I'll be stocking up on during my next visit?

FFM :)

  • There have been flashed '£2 off' Nestle pic-a-packs around for a while, but they've all gone in my local Waitrose. Are you saying there are coupons in packs with plain - unflashed - packs? Ta
  • I guess so, there was no 'flash' on the pack that I bought.
