<\/a><\/p>\nFirst, I’m afraid blogging about this is going to make things worse. Now I have not only incentive to get good deals regularly, but the more entertaining\/ridiculous things I do, the better for writing about. Enter today’s shopping trip.<\/p>\n
Cereal is a couponing staple, although between matching up the best price with what you have a coupon for and which kinds you will actually eat is quite the challenge. There tends to be little to no organization among the brands, but for this deal, I decided to rough it.<\/p>\n
I left the store with 62% savings and a total out of pocket of $8.84,<\/strong> and *ding ding ding* a free movie ticket! But wait there’s more, I also have a $5 prepaid gas card on the way from redeeming codes on the insides of the boxes (even more ridiculous than it sounds). Oh yeah, and at least a few months worth of cereal, which is now living in the hall closet while I enjoy the already-opened boxes I have in the kitchen.<\/p>\n I bought:<\/p>\n 2 boxes of Corn Flakes (3.98 total)<\/p>\n 2 boxes of Rice Krispies (2.98 total)<\/p>\n 1 box of Frosted Mini Wheats (1.99)<\/p>\n 1\/2 gallon of Milk (It was 1.89 but I doubled my two coupons so I’m counting the extra $1 savings and saying I paid .89)<\/p>\n Plus the gas card and the movie ticket worth up to $12, I’d say this was a pretty sweet deal. Now who wants to have a cold cereal party?<\/p>\n
