*Hot* Kraft Cheese Coupon – $5 off 5 Kraft Cheese Products

Welcome to Thrifty NW Mom! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe by your feed reader or by email . Make sure to become a Facebook Fan & follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!

Wow, there’s a *hot* new coupon that was released today! This coupon is for $5 off when you buy 5 select Kraft cheese or dairy products.  When you use your coupon, Kraft will then donate 5 meals to Feeding America.  Make sure to hit the back arrow, refresh & print 2 coupons.

If you live near an Albertsons store, this coupon will pair up great with a sale starting today so you  can get FREE cheese – here’s how it will work:

Buy {5} Kraft Brick or Shredded Cheese  - $2/ea
Use the $5/5 printable Kraft coupon
Pay $5 for the cheese, Receive a $5 off catalina from the register (good on a future purchase)
Final Price: FREE

Update: I just tried this at my Albertson’s & wanted to emphasize that this deal will only work on the brick or shredded cheeses. The coupon also includes Sour cream & Cream Cheese. However, when I added Cream Cheese to try it, the Catalina did not print.

Just an FYI, I’ve found that shredded cheese freezes very well – I have quite a bit still in my freezer from the 10 cent cheese at Fred Meyer earlier.

Here’s a list of the participating products for the coupon (this coupon is valid from 9/1 – 11/7/10):

KRAFT Singles
KRAFT Parmesan Cheese
