Has anyone tried this? Wondering if it was any good? I’m a Basic 4 fan so I’m wondering if it is similar.

We have tried it!! Awhile back Meijer had some of the boxes on clearance for like $2.23 – right when that post coupon had just been posted – and we picked up a ton… It’s got some grape nuts type stuff in it. but overall it’s pretty good… My kids like it – but I rarely get them junky sugar cereals – since all this good stuff’s been super cheap/free. You can get the uPromise credit anywhere – as long as you have your debit card registered – or have a loyalty card… I love the debit card feature though!

It’s wonderful. Try mixing it with yogurt of your choice for a great snack.

Hey! I bought this cereal a while back when my CVS had it for $1.88… to be honest, I didn’t LOVE it. I am a Grape Nuts fan, so thought that I would enjoy, esp on yogurt. And it’s good, but it has a lot of flavor! Maybe I am just too used to eating Fiber One plain, but this was a bit much for me. I ended up donating the second box and am still making my way through the first! Maybe you will feel different?? Good luck and thanks for the tips!

I bought some, I LOVE LOVE this cereal – and could never afford $4+ a box, so when I get it for .38-.50 cents I buy as many as i can. I didn’t realize that it even had Upromise on it! How do I know if it put the $ in my account? I do have my debit card registered…. so it should?

Ok, darn I see now that it was an ecoupon on upromise, which i hadn’t uploaded. So I won’t get the credit for it! Bummer! :(

It’s ok. Not great, not bad. Since it’s so cheap, it’s good enough. Similar to grape nuts, but sweeter and happier. But the raisins are too dry or something. It’s certainly worth the cheap prices we get it for, but I wouldn’t pay over a dollar a box for it.

i don’t eat that much cereal, but i bought some of this when cvs ran this deal before and i had the IP coupons. turns out i LOVE it! my store never has the cranberry version, only the raisin one, but i did find the cranberry at the 99Cents Only store, so i bought one box, but haven’t opened it yet.

I keep seeing links for this coupon, but when I click on it and try to get the coupon, it tells me the print limit for this campaign has been reached.

My Hubby LOVES this cereal, BUT he did say the cranberry one FAR exceeds the raisin one. I dont eat a lot of cold cereal, and especially since he likes it so much, I have left it for him. But, yea, he says the cranberries are softer, and the raisins are like rocks :)
