Cereal Bonanza!!

I bought 4 BOXES OF CEREAL FOR $0.86!!! Total-- not each.  just over 21 cents each.  I doubt I can do it again, but everything worked out nicely this time using my digital coupons on my Smiths Rewards card, manufacturers coupons, and a Smith's coupon that was mailed to me.

Here's my formula:

Sale price for GM cereals: $1.99

You know those coupons that Smiths sends you every quarter with your Rewards coupon?  I had one that was $3 off 4 boxes of cereal.

I decided to see if I could use two $1 off 2 General Mills cereal (from Sunday's paper) with it, and I could! 
so that makes $5 off in coupons but wait! add my digital coupons:
$0.55 off 1 box Honey Nut Cheerios
$0.55 off 1 box Cinnamon Toast Crunch
$1 off 2 boxes Chex

That makes $7.10 in coupons
8 boxes @ $1.99 ea = $7.96
minus coupons = $0.86 = 21.5 cents each

So that is my brag for the week!!

yes, couponing takes time, but when I can get cereal for under a quarter . . .
