Do you have details about this promotion? The link takes me to what looks like the entire Amazon grocery selection. I selected 2 items and entered the code, but it was not accepted (said that it didn't apply to my order). Do you know where I can see the promotion details?

Here's another link that tells you about the promo:

I just placed a second order (yikes!) and the code worked just fine once again...I think there are some great deals out there if you use the stuff already and can store in bulk...

Happy Shopping!

Thanks for this! I found Fig Newmans for $43.23/12, with the discount was ~$26. around $2 a package is a great deal for these!

I am having a terrible time getting all the items to qualify. I had to split my order into 2 items each. I followed the link to their eligible items and some are not working. Has anyone had luck getting the 40% off on the Envirokids cereals?

I can only get it to work on one item per order, but it doesn't work at all unless I order at least two items.

I can't get the code to work correctly either. Sigh.

Code worked for me---twice. I accidentally deleted the wrong item and went back and ordered it afterwards (one thing I was buying the first time around only had 1 in stock so I was trying to hurry). The other day I tried this deal and could not get the code to work, either. Only idea is to make sure you browse within the link window that first opens.

I bought yogurt covered soy nuts, Kettle Chips, Reduced-fat Pringles, fruit roll-ups, Trident gum, and Wrigley's gum all for less than I have seen them on sale in stores. There are lots of candy and gum options for upcoming Halloween and harvest festivals. I skipped but was tempted by Planters Pistachios and Poppycock.

Getting $12 back (if you choose a refund over the Self magazine sub) only sweetens the deal further!

Good luck!

I tried this last night, and could only get one item to discount. It is strange that it worked for some people but not others. I wonder if it was a targeted marketing promo. I usually get e-mails about Amazon's promotions, and I did not get one for this promo. I was window shopping, and put lots of items in my cart, almost $200, and it only discounted $8.xx. I got frustrated and gave up.

Also, be careful not to order a ton of stuff because it *might* have a short shelf life.

If you did this offer with the shoe promo, can you do it with food? I'm just wondering if it is cosidered a different promotion.

It's open to all...Not a special e-mail promo or anything...Anyone who goes to Amazon can get it...These manager clearances happen every so often...

I just ordered again...Candy for Halloween...(Am I really ready for Halloween???)

If the code doesn't work on a certain item, you can have Amazon call you and they will credit your account if you place the order...I know it's not the best, but they seem to come through in the end on these code issues...

Happy shopping!
