Cereal promotions at US grocers cluster around back-to-school in late summer and around major holidays. Retailers set the timing, not General Mills, so it varies by chain.

Most are not, since wheat, barley or oats are common ingredients. Cheerios is made with oats and labeled gluten-free, but check each box's label because formulations differ by product.

Are there General Mills discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what General Mills products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
