Get paid to eat Special K!

In my local Tesco yesterday, they were doing an offer on Special K cereal.500g boxes were selling at £2.55 per box or buy 2 for £2.50!!! Thought that was a bargain but then got them home and found £1.95 worth of coupons inside each box of cereal totalling £3.90. So buy these 2 boxes and be £1.40 up!!!:j

    Only eat it when you would otherwise eat sweets. Have you seen how much sugar it contains? So long as you aren't misled into thinking that it's in any way healthy, then go ahead...
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
  • Can the coupons be used against any cereal or just Special K?

    Kellogg's have been warned over their advertising of "Special K"

    It is more fattening than ordinary corn flakes.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Not another Special K thread.

    Remember the vouchers are only on the packets with the yellow banner.

    Thanks for that.....I was going to buy some thinking it would help with my diet, but I won't now. Just goes to show how gullible to advertising I am.
    Are there any more culprits I should know of?
