It is the single bottles. Mine were in the water section.

These are the items that I noticed: NV Nut Clusters, Fiber One Bars, NV Granola Bars, Chex Mix bars are included but don't seem to ring up properly,
Honey bunches of Oats, Raisin Bran, Honey Combs, Fruity & Cocoa Pebbles, and Shredded Wheat.

Only the Honey Bunches of Oats produces the catalina. HTH

After reading all the rumors about the great UPCOMING Mega Sale in some of the other regions. I'm happy to have a slow week. Next week could be fun.

I was really fortunate to have signed up for the Psst! Nature Valley Clusters mailing a few weeks ago and I received 10 coupons for $1.60 off one bag of NV Clusters. Did the math on Thursday on the way over to a Kroger-wanted to confirm that these were part of the $4 off your order deal and was so happy to see that they were! Small Money Maker !! And there is a SC coupon for $1/1 too. Plus, I had 2 coupons for .55/1 for the Post cereal from Red Plum ( I think) and I managed to pick up 2 of those. Had to get 1 box of the Nature Valley bars because the store only had 5 bags left on the shelf. I'm hoping to go back tomorrow to use my other 5 coupons for the clusters and a .75/1 Post cereal coupon that printed out for me. This is what I got:

1 Box of NV Bars
5 Bags of NV Clusters
2 Boxes of Post Cereal
=$20
(5) $1.60/1 NV clusters
(2) .55/1 Post Cereal -doubled
(1) Shortcuts $1/1 NV clusters
(1) .40/1 Shortcuts NV Bars
(1) .40/1 NV Bars coupon -doubled

-$12.40

-$8 off at the register
=.40 cents overage

It's taken me a while, but I'm finally getting the hang of this couponing.

4 NV Clusters
4 boxes of HBO

Use 4 $1.60/1 Qs

Get $8 discounted at register
-$6.40 in Qs
=$5.60 and get $3 Catalina

This one rolls-so...
2nd transaction would be:

2 Bags of NV Clusters
1 NV Bars
1 Box of Post Cereal
Use (1) $1.60/1 and $1/1 Q (not sure if it is from RP insert?)
(1) .40/1 Q -doubled
(1) .75/1 Post cereal Q that Printed
-$4 at register
-$3 catalina

=$ 1.15 overage -I hope my math is correct.
I'm thinking I need to buy a 5th item to cover the extra on the Catalina?:shrug7:

[pedspeech]

Sounds great, VictoriaR, but you are going to need something to cover the overage or you can always save that catalina for the next trip. I never seem to have trouble finding something to buy at Kroger!

Nobody has mentioned the discrepancy in my first post about the cereal, even though a couple of you have mentioned the $3 catalina in your scenarios. Apparently it was listed wrong in the other thread and it is producing $2 WYB 3 HBO cereals or $3 WYB four. Still a good deal, but enough off that I spent forever trying to figure out what I did wrong.

I was disappointed because my store doesn't carry the Nature Valley clusters and I don't think any of them have the pecan HBO- so much for those good coupons! Oh well, I think Kroger has been good to me and I shouldn't be so sad.

I'm sure I won't have a problem finding something either. LOL! Thanks for the help. I'm making sure to rep you.

Does anybody know if Grape Nuts are included in the 4/$6 after discount sale? If so, I've got enough coupons to do:

4 Nature Valley Nut Clusters
2 Post Shredded Wheat
2 Post Grape Nuts
------
20.00
-8.00 promo
-8.40 coupons (1.00 NV; .55 cereals)
-4.00 shortcuts and cellfire (4 x 1.00 NV)
------
.40 moneymaker

If it's not I'll just do the nut clusters. Hubby is out of work and we've got less than $5 left in the bank, so I have to be careful of even the sales tax (which THANKFULLY has dropped on food tax within the past few months - it used to be almost 10% even on food!) but we're out of nuts for snacking and we're about out of cereal too so this would be a good expense for us.

So, that's a long way of asking has anyone noticed if the Grape Nuts are included? LOL. TIA!

I feel your pain! My husband is in sales and with the economy the way it is things are just really slow for him right now.

I think I'm ready to move back to Texas where we didn't have to worry about state tax!

Anyway, the Grape Nuts are part of the deal at my Kroger-although I noticed that these boxes are a little smaller than the other regular sized boxes of cereal??

I'm not sure how you are adding up the Shortcuts and the Cellfire coupons to make $4?? I only see $1/1 SC Q and $1/1 cellfire Q.

Thanks for the info! Grape Nuts are always in a small box I think, because they're such a compact cereal. Hubby and I both love them, even though it takes about an hour to eat one bowl. *crunch crunch crunch*

Re: the soft coupons, I had an older $1/1 on both SC and cellfire that haven't expired yet, then I went in last night and added a new one at each site, so four total.

Assuming that Grape Nuts are included at my store as well (which they should be, these things are usually chain-wide) I should be able to get four boxes of cereal, four bags of nut clusters, six king sized Reese's (to use up the rest of my coupons) and maybe a loaf of bread too.
