There is a BOGO coupon for the Birdseye Steamfresh meals. Would the free meal still be counted in the 10 items?

Ok Jenn..
here's how it should work or show on reciept (along with other items of course) -

BE Steamfresh meals $5.99
BE Steamfresh meals $5.99

mega deal $5.00-
manf. coupon $5.99 (they may do $5.49 or even reg. price who knows)

since the mega deal comes off before the coupons you should be fine...

Ok thanks!

The Steamfresh you got in your test run, was that the bags of veggies or the meals? Curious if the bags of veggies are included in the promotion.

To answer my own question, the Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies are included in the mega event promotion $1.99 each.

To answer my own question, the Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies are included in the mega event promotion $1.99 each.

Yes you are right..the bags of veggies are included. $1.99 - .50 promo $1.49. I used the $.50/1 (didn't realize they were expired until just now) and they scanned right thru, no beeps, no override..cheap veggies!

41 items (kids grabbed the hot cocoa and didn't tell me it was part of promo) for $7.15 plus tax...cashier didn't bat an eye on the 6 like coupons and all doubled. Cashier read & re-read the rolaids coupon but pushed it thru anyway...As you can see there isn't a limit on how many mega deal rewards per transaction!!

I got about 20 other items as no one wants spagetti for the 4th night in a row lol...

Check your meat section by the pork..found $1/1 coupons for fresh pork on a tearpad, the q's don't exp. until the end of the year..

I wanted to confirm that the Chex Mix you have listed is part of the mega event. I don't see it in the flyer. TIA!

it wasn't in the ad, neither were the Whiskas cat treats...

While shopping for the mega deal I noticed a couple other things on sale (not part of mega deal, but decent price): The Muir Glen tomato paste cans are B1G1 free, regular price $1.19 - can use $1/1 IP from bettycrocker.com; Celestial Seasonings teas are $2 each - use $1/1 coupon; Maruchan yakisoba is $1 - $.50/1 coupons out there for free after double

[Kcwalc33]

I also saw Tums and Tums dualAction for $2.99 (mega deal)...I think I saw $3/1 Tums Dual Action non-insert q's in my binder...have to double check that....

I bought 20 items so I got $10 off:

5 Bumble Bee Premium Tuna $.99 each, 4-$1/1 coupons, 1-$.55/1 coupon
3 Birdseye Steamfresh lightly sauced veggies $1.99 each, 3-$.50/1 coupons
3 Chex Mix $1.99 each, 3-$.50/1 coupons, 2-$.50/1 Shortcuts.com electronic coupons
4 Carnation Evaporated Milk $.99 each, 2-$.50/2 coupons
4 Wishbone salad dressing salad spritzers $1.99 each, 4-$.75/1 coupons
1 Colgate toothpaste $.99, 1-$1/1 coupon

Once my coupons were doubled, I paid $1.31 OOP.

Yes, $1.31. I was so excited about this, I told my friends about it & they didn't believe me until they saw the receipt, lol. Cashier told me they don't take more than 3 like coupons but put them through anyways. I wasn't aware of that since I haven't been couponing in awhile. I lucked out!
