Free Nestle Cereal (well, effectively free!)

Options
I bought a pack of the miniature Nestle cereals at Tescos yesterday - 8 single serve boxes of cereal for £1.06.

On the back of the boxes there are six money off coupons - 2 for 30p & 4 for 25p

These coupons will scan through the Tesco self scanners regardless of whether you buy the products.

Free cereal plus 54p :j :j :j

    I too purchased these cereals but unfortunately my packet only had 3 x 25p off and the other boxes were just plain.

    Still a good deal but not free for me!

    I got 5 x 25p and one 30p off coupons, so it was free for me, thanks!

    Although the packs are not flashed to show the coupons (these are Pic a Pac multi cereal packs BTW) you can check there are coupons in there. DD and I pushed up one of the centre cereal packs a little, enough to read the words 'copies of coupons are invalid' at the bottom of the opposite packet, just above a blueish dotted edge line. No need to rip the cellophane!

    Thanks Coupon-mad I looked at these last weekend, couldn't see any flashing for vouchers so didn't get them.

    My Tesco has them and the best before date is 28th of November if this is of any use to anyone.

    I was annoyed with myself for not getting enough of these the last time the coupons were on. They disappeared very fast - very clever not having a flash on the packs this time. I had all of my gang eating cereal including HWMBO and as we are all supposed to be eating more whole grain cereal these little boxes were ideal - far better than other snacks.

    There was also something on the news yesterday that said just one bowl of whole grain a day helps keep diabetes at bay, also something about calcium (milk) having something to stabilise appetites and therefore keep weight down.

    Also great for taking on camping trips!

    They like to keep you guessing! The first one I bought had no coupons, so I bought another 4...one had 50p s worth, one had 1.05 and 2 had 1.30. So im not in profit yet!

    Have you checked to see if they have the same use by date?

    I wonder if the barcodes differ between different sorts of packs?

    Mary has a valid point here - if they're made in batches the sell-by date will be the same or very similar on all the 'free' packs. I know mhoc said theirs had a sell-by date of 28th November, can anyone who's managed to get a 'free' pack (mine only had 50p worth of coupons) tell us what the sell-by date was on their packs?

    Thanks
