DEAD DEAL: Proceed at your Own Risk

by Mercedes on August 8, 2008

Ok, I want to share this deal with you, but I want you to understand that this is one of those deals that happens because of a fluke and this fluke could get fixed sooner rather than later. So if you wish to take advantage of it, check here where updates are being posted on whether it is still working or not.

I learned about this late last night from two different sources. But the gist of the deal is this:
The Kellogg’s Register Rewards deal on Page three of this week’s Walgreens ad: “Buy $10 in products get $5 in RR back” is actually printing out TWO $5 RRs instead of just one. You end up getting the items basically free after register rewards. It is even better deal if you have the Kellogg’s coupons that came out this past Sunday. The deal works with the items on Page 3 only, NOT the cereals. Cherry variety of Pop Tarts are being clearanced and those don’t work on this deal. Also it seems regular Cheddar cheez-Its don’t work either, just white cheddar. The RRs don’t roll either. It’s a great deal but not *that* good!

I am heading out in an hour and a half to get some Nutrigrain bars. If you decide to give this a try, come back and tell me how it went. However, remember that I warned you, check for any updates before you leave and hope it doesn’t get fixed before you get to the store. This is the reason I am not sharing this deal with any of the big “deal” blogs because not everyone understands the YMMV part of some of these deals. So, let this be a secret between you, me and the rest of the people in on it.

Happy deal hunting!

Credit to the folks on SD for figuring the ins and outs of this deal.

On Monday I got 4 boxes of Special K cereal, 2 boxes of Special K bars and 4 boxes of Nutrigrain bars and for the 2 RR. I was surprised! I guess it was working then too!

It is working for me! 4 boxes of Cheez-Its, 2 Pop Tarts, 2 Rice Kripies, 2 Keebler cookies (bought 10 for the rebate). Used 3-$1 coupons for $17 OOP. Received 2-$5 RR and will send off for $10 rebate. Made $3!

Hi Jacksmom,
That was because you did two different RR deals. You got one RR for the cereals and another one for the cereal bars. In this case I am talking about getting two RRS for the same deal.
hope that clarifies things.

It worked for me. I did 2 transactions, once for 4 Nutri-Grain Bars, got 2 RRs, then I bought 4 Special K Bars and also got 4 RRS. Just did this about an hour ago.

Oops, I don’t want to confuse anyone. Just saw my earlier comment. I said I got 4RRs…I meant I did the deal twice, and got 4 all together. Since that post though I did it again!
Bought 2 Rice Krispie treats
2 Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies
and 2 Pop Tarts ( I wanted to use another coupon, so I bought a 6th item)

Got 2RRS

I am swimming in RRs now! I used one towards the Bounty paper towels.

I have updated the title to reflect that it is not working anymore. I just read somewhere else that it was still working minutes ago. Maybe the update by areas. But to be safe it is better to consider it dead as of now.

Wow! I went into Walgreens yesterday around 3PM EST and I couldn’t figure out why I had gotten 2 RR! I haven’t been feeling well since I got back and thought I just needed to take a closer look at the receipt. Too funny!
