Nestle 8 variety pack of cereals

These are £1.21 in Tesco at the moment and each boxin the pack has a 25p off coupon on the back of it - making £2.00 to use in coupons. This works out that you will make 79p (when you use the vouchers!!)
They are called Pic-A -Pac and have "save up to £2" written on the wrapper.
Packs contain:- Frosted Shreddies, Golden Nuggets, Cookie Crisp, Honey Shreddies, Nesquik, Honey Nut Shredded Wheat, Cheerios and Shreddies.

    They're not on "offer", they are just that price normally. The biggest advantage is the coupons on them. :D

    Don't quite follow your logic here !

    You spend £1.21 and get £2 worth of vouchers. You can only use one voucher per new purchase, so to use these vouchers (eg: on more of these packs) you would have to buy 8 packs at £1.21 each, with the 25p voucher you would pay £7.68 instead of £9.68.

    As the pack says you have saved £2 - you haven't "made" anything.

    But if you use the coupons in Tesco, most Tesco will take one of each coupon if you havent bought the product, 2 if you have. Also nearly all of the coupons in these packs are for different variaties, so in theory you could use all of them, maybe even 2 of them, because you are buying all the variaties just in one packet. Hope thats clearer.

    This would probably get more views and better understanding on the discount code and vouchers section. If a guide could move?

    So Tesco are "breaking" the rules of the offer, in effect.

    "in effect" but if they sell 200 boxes of cereal and 20 people use 2 coupons for the box cereal but the other 180 people didnt then they can use the other 20 coupons against the other 180 they did sell without using coupons. IYSWIM.
    So really they're never breaking the rules as such, because they will know they can always charge the coupon against a product that someone ele bought without using coupons.
    Also Some ASDAs have the same policy and I think all Waitrose's do as well.
