Does anyone know if the $3/3 nabisco coupon is for all nabisco products or just the ones pictured?  I read the coupon and it says "participating products" but I wasn't sure what that meant.  I know the wording on a coupon is more important than the picture, but I can't figure this one out.  Thanks.

The ones pictured because it says participating but it doesn't specify a size that is why for example it shows Teddy Grahams but doesn't say a size so the small containers of Teddy Grahams fits the coupon.

Do you think it would be valid on the Oreos in the small container? They were on the shelf next to the Teddy Grahams at Walmart for $1.00. The coupon has Oreo pictured but it shows the 100 calorie packaging…I didn't buy them because I wasn't sure.

On another note…has anyone found another item to use these on anywhere else?

I wouldn't use them on the oreos.  I wanted those too but didn't get them for that reason.  They show them in the 100 calorie packs so any flavor of the 100 calorie packs would be ok.

The coupon does not state "participating products" It states  participating brands.

That is good though

Participating products would be just as shown, participating brands would mean the brands like Ritz not just ritz crackerfuls

. A brand is a name is not a flavor or style so you can use the coupon on any thing by Honey Maid , Fig Newton, Ritz , Teddy graham, snackwell, wheat thins, 100 calorie snacks or triscuit.

 

The wording is weird on there part but I will use it on any brand flavor or size as I mentioned above, but not on oreos, chips a hoy  or other Nabisco products .

 

I interpret any things that says brand as something that hold a trademark to own that name. For example How to Shop for Free is a brand because it is trademarked. 

With that said here comes the confusing part. 

Ritz is trademarked making it a brand, and Ritz bits is also trademarked making it a  brand therefor my theory would squash getting ritx bitz with the coupon.

According to the Nabisco website  Newton is a brand and it doesn't clarify whether newton thins is so by that wording anything in the Newton category would fall under the term brand and be allowed to use the q on. 

Now 100 calorie snacks is on the coupon as a brand yet it isn't shown as a registered trademark , to make it more confusing 100 calories comes in Oreo..

Who's confused? 

I would call this a grey area coupon that Nabisco failed to leave clear instructions on. I personally would not use this on Chips ahoy or other brands that are not listed but I would not call out anyone that did as doing something wrong.

I used the $3.00 of 3 coupon on the Oreo single snack containers to get them for free at CVS last week. They accepted them as a Nabisco product.

It says participating brands and oreos isn't one of the brands that is shown as participating.

Then why would the manager at my CVS accept them? I did ask before we used them.

Probably because the wording on the coupon is so confusing.  If you read kathy's post above yours it will have a good explaination about the qualifying items for the coupon.
