SAN ANTONIO – Your morning cereal may mean cash in your pocket. So might your cup of coffee.
It’s not a lot of money, but class action lawsuit settlements involving Post cereals, Maxwell House and Yuban ground coffees, as well as Dollar General motor oil can put a little jingle in the pockets of eligible consumers.
Post Foods settled a $15 million class action lawsuit alleging the labels made the cereals seem healthy when they really had added sugars.
Consumers who bought Post Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, Honeycomb, Alpha-Bits, Bran Flakes, Shredded Wheat and others between August 29, 2012 and November 2, 2020, may file a claim for cash.
The average payout is expected to be about $14. No proof of purchase is needed, and the deadline to file a claim online is May 19.

People who bought ground Maxwell House or Yuban coffee may be able to brew up some bucks. Kraft Heinz settled a $16 million class action alleging the labels exaggerated the number of cups of coffee a container makes.
