The cheap cereal deal I mentioned last week just got even better — IT IS NOW FREE when you price match with Walgreen’s!! That being said, this deal will only work if the gift card deal works on Raisin Bran (12-15 oz boxes).
How do I price-match? Take this week’s (3/14-3/20) Walgreen’s ad to Target with you. Hand it to the cashier before checking out, informing him/her of your intention to price match the cereal. In my experience, Target will only match the price of the item actually shown in the ad. This is very simple and you should not have a hard time.
{Scenario}
Buy (4) Kellogg’s Cereal (Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, or Frosted Flakes) – $7.52
Use (2) $1.50/2 Raisin Bran Printable Coupon – $3.00 off
Get $5 Target gift card
…(4) FREE boxes of Kellogg’s Raisin Bran + $.08 overage
If you want to stockpile this item, you can roll the gift card into the next transaction paying nothing out of pocket and getting another $5 gift card!

[Here's a post that I made over at The Freebie Blogger, so I decided to post it here too since it's relevant]
Keep in mind one thing though: Target generally doesn’t carry the right size of cereal to qualify for the Walgreen’s coupon.
This was my scenario:
I went to Walgreen’s and picked up their ad. It says that select Kellog’s cereals that weight 12-15oz. are eligible for the $2 price. So, I went to Target and found the Raisin Bran Extra or whatever it’s called and go four boxes. When I went to get the price matched, the customer service rep said that she couldn’t match it since it wasn’t the exact same cereal pictured in the Walgreen ad.
So then, I went back to the isle to find regular Raisin Bran. The smallest size they had was 20oz.
Overall, I wasn’t able to do the price match with the Walgreen’s ad. However, the $1.50/2 and the $5 Target GC worked. I got 4 boxes of Raisin Bran and some eyeliner for about $9.00. Not horrible.
Hope this helps!
