When I first started couponing, I hated anything that was extra work. It's hard enough to find deals, keep up with clipping and printing coupons, and actually using them is a whole different story! Kellogg's Family Rewards is something I put off for a long time. I thought I would never get enough points to actually purchase a coupon, and that it would be a total waste. I was so wrong. Between March and now, I've accumulated over 2,000 points! Most of those aren't even from products I have purchased, but from codes that have been publicly given by Kellogg's.
Kellogg's products go on sale pretty frequently at Giant Eagle. Between Keebler, Kellogg's, Morningstar, Eggo, Cheez-It, Townhouse, Austin, Famous Amos, Club, and Pop Tarts, it's hard to keep track. I bet most of you didn't even know those were all technically Kellogg's brands!
Coupons for these products do appear, but they're generally not as high value as many couponers would like. They're typically $1 off 2, $1 off 3, etc. Couponers generally like to see coupons that are $.75/1 (they'll double), $1/1, etc. That's where KFR comes in.
Kellogg's Family Rewards is a great site. They have coupons that you can print for free, no points needed, just by signing up. When you do sign up, you're eligible to earn points.
Points can be earned two different ways. You can purchase products and enter the codes on the inside of the package, and you can come across public codes that Kellogg's puts out regularly. It helps to "like" the Kellogg's Family Rewards Facebook page, because they share codes there too sometimes! There are also special offers, listed on the site, where you can earn extra points by purchasing certain products. Now I wouldn't purchase a certain product at regular price just to earn points - that defeats the purpose - but the coupons given by earning points are great. You can "purchase" coupons with your points. For 500 points, you can print off a $.75/1 coupon. For 1000 points, you can purchase a $1.50/1 coupon. These can be for any product you choose. $.75/1 coupons are even better than the $1.50/1, they're half the points and they double at places like Giant Eagle!
When you "purchase" a coupon, you'll receive a link in your email. You can click that link to print your coupons. Also, you can print 2 of that coupon, so go back and click it again to print. Then you just take the coupons with you to the store to start saving. It's really a great site, and it's so user friendly.
Just don't forget to check your boxes for codes - I've thrown a few of mine away, and I'm never happy when I do it! :)
