Free Nestle Cereal (well, effectively free!)

Hippygirl

All my packs say 28.10 - but I think the packets inside are distributed randomly! Bought some more today, so I'll see whats inside those.

i had a look for these but couldnt find them.

I must have been lucky with my pack - did not realise the number of vouchers differed from pack to pack. I got 5 x 25p, 1 x 30p and two plain packlets, so as expected and well pleased.

I too will save the ROI coupons (when DS eats the cereal this week) and will happily post them out if an ROI MSEer PMs me (how about that for a string of acronyms?)

Bought 6 more, opened 3 , all of which have 4 x 25 & 2x30p, so feeling better!

Bumping this up, partly because some people are complaining about the coupon drought although I've not actually found this myself, partly because with the long summer holidays loooming and some of us in the midst of it already and finding our little darlings are spending their days eating us out of house and home and partly because the boxes with the coupons are now getting very scarse.

These are the little Nestle selection boxes which are on the top shelf in Sainsburys and Tesco for £1.06 or thereabouts and you get eight indivual sized boxes. I think bigger Morrisons and Asdas also stock them. Several of the little boxes have either 25p or 30p coupons on them so effectivlley they are free. The packs are not flashed and the coupons are on the inside,out of view so unless you are very bad and just nip the cellophane and check one of the middle boxes you cant tell that your pack has coupons inside - unless that is that you check the use by date on the cellophane.

From what I have figured the ones with a November or December 28th use by date do have the coupons on but the ones with next years January 2008 date dont so there are not worth buying. My local Tesco and Sainsburys now only has January ones so I have to start looking further afield.

The only annoying thing is that they are difficult to store so I just have them stcked up in the corner of the kitchen or sitting in the boot of the car waiting for a space in the kitchen.

I have been using these small value coupons when buying the Nestle boxes both in Tesco and also in Sainsburys also surprisingly have taken them no problem. Also if you are doing a coupon swap on PTS or the coupon swap I always have a good supply of coupons to swap for whatever is on offer.

These little boxes have been a wild success with my gang. I now have a non breakfast eating OH and two large lumbering teenagers going through between 6 and 8 little boxes a day. Its whole wheat cereal which the powers that be say we should be eating and it also means that they are drinking some milk as well, another thing I dont have to nag about now.

Inevitably when they have eaten all of the ones they like we will end up with the unloved 400 Finesse boxes but I have a plan for those as well. I've been freezing small batches of garden fruit and reduced soft fruit from the supermarket. These I mix with chopped apple or pears (the ones from the bottom of the fridge that no-one wants to eat!) and I make small individual crumbles mixing in some Finesse with the topping in place of some of the flour - good usage of left overs and I get mum of the week award for making puddings!

Hope this helps

Nice one........want to swap the finesse for 80 boxes of cinnamon grahams. LOL:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Actually the box swapping idea is a very good one if you have several other MSE ers living locally near to you. I have a very weird picture now of clandestine meetings in parks and libraries, (away from the watchful gaze of any CCTV cameras who might think you are doing something very sinister!) and people swapping huge bulging bags.

My eldest is a Cinnamon Graham fan so I am seriously thinking of getting some full sized boxes from Sainsburys while the offer is on, just have to figure out where on earth to store it.

I am supposed to be be doing no groucery shopping for the next fortnight, only milk, bread and fruit so the house looks normal for visitors in August and not like the home of a mad woman who collects breakfast cereal boxes :rotfl:

If you wake up one morning and find a tall skinny teenager camped in your garden it will be my youngest. He loves these and mixes the two in one huge bowl in the morning. Before long his supply will finish and then he will be looking for a new home where there are still these two left!

I dont really approve of these cereals but I cant keep up with the vast ammounts he needs to eat so I have to comprise.

I love the Cinnamon Grahams, even though the amount of sugar in them is shocking! :eek: I have them as a treat

It's tons of leftover Honey Nut Shredded Wheat in our house. :rolleyes: DH and DS don't touch it , and I'm not allowed it as it's got peanuts in it, and I'm pregnant. :rolleyes:
