Quaker oats and fresh fruit

[MelInKansas]

Okay I am really tempted by this deal in the ad!

Quaker oatmeal - $1.68 - $1/1 Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quick, or Old Fashioned Oats Exp 4/30 (from 1/2 insert)

In-ad q, $3 off fruit WYB 5 featured Quaker products.

Pay $0.68 X 5 = $3.40 + tax, for 5 oatmeal and $3 in fruit!

Guess I'll be stocking up! Our Hy Vee is doing specials on Tuesdays, one of which is bananas for $0.29 a lb. I think they also have some variety of apples on sale this week.

I did this deal today, to my surprise it printed a $3.oo cat. So even a better deal.
Cat says buy any Quaker Oatmeal between 1/21/11 & 2/13/11
Cat is for
buy (3) & get $1.00 or
buy (4) & get $2.00 or
buy (5) or more & get $3.00...
coupon off your next shopping order
does anyone know where I can find more info on the cats at hyvee?

I did this today too! For one thing the oatmeal was priced $1.50 instead of $1.68. I assume this is YMMV since the ad price is $1.68. But I got a $3 OYNO cat when I got 5. Some people have found Hy Vee cat info on Facebook (I tried to look and couldn't even find Hy Vee on there for some odd reason). Also cats that run at other stores usually seem to run at Hy Vee too. That's all I know, I tend to find out about them when people post them on here.

I just changed the title on the post. If the oatmeal is $1.68 at your store then it will be $0.08 each like this:

buy 5 @ 1.68 = $8.40 - 5X$1/1 Quaker instant oatmeal, oats - $3 OYNO = $0.40 for 5 cans. PLUS get $3 in fresh fruit and use the in-ad q to get those free also!

At my store 5 @ $1.50 = $7.50 - $5 qs - $3 OYNO = $0.50 MM on 5 cans plus $3 free fruit.

Pineapples are $3.98 at my Hy Vee and I would NEVER pay that for them normally, but I found a big one that smells REALLY good.

Is this deal only good until the next reguar ad, or does it have a longer date that it's good until?

I'm going shopping on Wednesday, but I don't want to order q's if the deal will be over Monday night with the current ad

[MelInKansas]

The cat is good longer, so it still might be worthwhile ordering qs. For mine, the fresh fruit q says expires 1/25, which is Tuesday, which is when my ad week ends. The cat is good until 2/13 so as long as oatmeal doesn't go UP in price (which it may not, seems like in the past they've priced it to go along with the Cat deal) it'll still be very cheap or free.

I'd call it a good bet that it may even drop down to $1.50 in most places before the cat ends.

What I'd like to know is, if anyone tries it, will the cat still print if you buy Quaker Instant oatmeal? All it says is Quaker Oatmeal. Instant was $2.77 this week, but if that goes down to $2 or so I might just have to stock up on that too!

Must have been a regional q? I just went looking for them in my inserts from the DM Register and I'm not finding them. Or am I just not seeing them?

The $1/1 Quaker q was actually in the 1/2/11 inserts.

Well, I checked this week and the oats are still $1.50, making them still MM with the cat. Anyone else report the price in their store? The cat is good until 2/20 I believe. Also does anyone know if it works on instant oatmeal? I got some more qs so I am trying to plan out what I'm going to do.

My ad in Des Moines says the oatmeal is on sale for $2.68?? I'm going anyways so I can check.
