Albertson’s currently has a catalina deal going on for Post Cereal which will last until Sunday March 21st.  Starting next Wednesday, March 17th, they will also start a sale on Post Cereal, which you can then combine with the catalina. The word is that there should also be doubles for next week as well.

This means that we might be able to purchase FREE (or super cheap) Post cereal!  This sounds very similar to the Post cereal sale that happened around the same time last year.  I ended up purchasing 25 boxes of Post cereal last time and even though that sounds like alot, cereal goes pretty quickly in our house.  So, I will be stocking up even more for this deal!

The time frame for buying this cereal will be short - Wed 3/17 – Sun 3/21.  So, you definitely want to have your coupons in time for this sale! There was a $1/2 Post cereal coupon in the 2/28 Smartsource (SS) insert you’ll be able to use with this sale.

Order Coupons::

However, if you want to purchase more cereal boxes than you have coupons for – you’ll want to think about ordering coupons thru a coupon clipping site such as Coupon Clippers or order them off Ebay. You’ll want to do this soon to make sure they get here in time for this sale!!  What I like about this sale is you can get healthier cereals for such a great deal!! Definitely a super stockup time for me! I’m definitely ordering coupons so I’ll have plenty for this sale. You might also want to warn your Albertson’s to order extra cereal to prepare for all of us couponers who will be hitting the sale!

What is a catalina?

For those who are new to couponing, a catalina is the paper that prints from the box next to the register after you’ve paid for your items. They might be a manufacturer’s coupon to use on specific items or an “On your next order”  (OYNO) coupon (e.g. “Save $4 on your next purchase”).  So, I might make 2 transactions – receive a catalina on the first transaction for OYNO and then use  that catalina to pay for the rest of my purchases in the 2nd transaction. You typically have 2 weeks to use the catalinas.
