Unclear on Concept

Safeway keeps issuing me checkout coupons good for money off Glucerna cereal — which they stopped carrying several months ago.

All of them stopped carrying it or just the one you frequent?

I've checked stores in Fremont, Newark, and San Mateo CA and in Cottage Grove and Stayton OR, and all of them have dropped the cereal. They still carry the liquid Glucerna drinks, but the shelf space formerly occupied by the cereals is filled with other products now. That doesn't necessarily mean the chain has dropped the product completely, but it's in widely separately locations that all used to carry it.

Unless something has changed in the past month, they still make the cereal because I was able to buy it at Fred Meyer and Lucky stores. Indeed, while last driving down from Oregon, I bought many boxes of the cereal because it was cheaper there and I had Fred Meyer coupons. (There are no Fred Meyer stores in California.)

Too bad there is not a store nearby that does both the "we accept other stores coupons" and carries the product.
