  1. For the free rice coupon, did yours specify a flavor? Mine says Chicken Medley or Roasted Garlic. I can't find these flavors anywhere! Wonder if it would work on any of the Whole Grain Medleys.

    PS I tried to post this comment earlier, but had problems, so sorry if it double posts.

  2. Annette, my coupon also had those flavors listed and I haven't been able to find those flavors in any store near me. I checked with the manager who said if it scanned on a different flavor- they'd take it. It expires at the end of the month so I was worried I might never find the right flavor.

  3. Thanks for the info. I was worried about the same thing- no one carries those flavors and it's expiring this month. I'll give it a try and see what happens tomorrow. The worst they can say is no.

  5. Mariah, welcome to the world of couponing- you're going to LOVE it! "free item q" means I used a coupon to make the item I bought free. I do not know where the Yoplait coupon came from (I got it in the mail but don't remeber signing up for one). The free uncle ben's coupon was one that was I signed up for last month (there was a limited time frame to do so).

    I have also recieved lots of free item coupons in the past from writing to companies and complimenting products I like. For more info on that, you can click the link titled "Coupon Request Wednesday" in the Labels column to the right of the screen. Hope that helps!
