Update: There is some concern as to the legitimacy of this coupon, so I have removed it until I can get confirmation as to whether it is a legitimate coupon or not.
Second Update: I have come to the conclusion that these coupons are not legitimate. While they were posted on a legitimate company site, they were not done so with the authorization of the manufacturer. If you used these coupons already, do not feel bad, because you didn’t know. But for the future, I would suggest that everyone throw out these coupons and not use them.

How do you know this is a legit PDF coupon? If you read the Bagel Bites coupon, it says to “see reverse side for details.” There is no reverse side. Something seems fishy…
I’m pretty certain it is legitimate Cheryl.
I just found another blog talking about this coupon. Common Sense with Money (dot) com has a big post questioning it. She made two major points:
1. Just because it is posted on the cookie magazine website, doesn’t mean it is legit. She compares it to Oprah photocopying the KFC free chicken coupon. Just because the source is legit, doesn’t mean the coupon is. (The Oprah comparison is in the comment section.)
2. According to the blog, P&G only uses the installed coupon printers for their coupons. The fact that there is a Tide coupon on this PDF is enough for her to decide it isn’t legit. She also points out the “reverse side” issue on the Bagel Bites.
Everyone has to make their own judgment on this coupon. I threw mine out and am going to let this one pass.
Thanks for all the work you put into your blog. I really enjoy it and can’t begin to imagine all the effort behind it.
Thank you for the help Cheryl. I have removed it until I know more. I would rather be safe than sorry.
I too was questioning this coupon and decided not to put it up on my blog. I printed two of these but will be throwing them out. Thanks for all your work Crystal!

Thanks for your honesty! I am going to toss my coupons too. God bless you and thanks so much for this blog!!
Just some deals I found:
I just bought bananas for 50 cents a pound at my Super Target and also my ST does not carry any skittles EXCEPT the smallest size bag and since there are no size restrictions on the q, I used 6 q’s but got 12 bags of skittles (52 cents each) so the coupons would not need to be manually taken down. I also got combos for 50 cents a bag (usually $1.79 but on price drop to $1.50 minus $1 with Target Q). My poptarts were still $1.52 a box, so with the $1.oo off 2 recent q’s and the 75 cents off one Target q, I paid 27 cents per box. My bill was alomst $30 but I paid a little over $5…I love Target!
Also at Walgreens right now, there is a coupon booklet in the front of the store (back to school) with a $2 off Huggies wipes coupon. My store carries these for $2.79 and allowed me to stack with the recent 50 cents off insert q…super cheap wipes-may fav!
