Cereal Deal Explained with Cereal Price List - (updated Oct 10, 2011)

By -
OK, I had a lot of requests for this to be reposted -

  
Keep in mind that this week at Copp's and Pick N Save: The cereal deal is:
Buy 6 boxes -- they will take $9 off instantly and after you pay, you will get a certificate for a FREE gallon of milk (up to $3.75) and a FREE dozen eggs (up to $1.50)- combined value of  $5.25 back in your pocket.

Here is how I like to work the math on this:
  • I don't like to pay more than $1 for a box of cereal...but aim for FREE.
  • Take that $6 (6 boxes at $1) and add the $9 that they take off for a total of $15.00
  • NOW factor in the coupons. Six coupons at $.75/1, when you double five, comes to $8.25. Add that it for a total of $23.25
  • Divide that by the 6 boxes and that is what I shoot for in price per box -- $3.87
  • Looking at the price list below: If I had 6 coupons for $.75 off Cocoa Puffs, which is priced at $3.55, I would end up paying $3.55 for all of them and then get the $5.25 back for a $1.70 profit.
 Make sure you add some cereal coupons for doubling on Wednesday, to sweeten the deal.

6 boxes of Golden Grahams is the same and Chex cereal comes to $6.90  if you use three of the $1/2, then the vouchers to bring it to $1.65 out of pocket.

    Dannelle,
    Last time they had the deal where they automatically take $9 I was totally thrown off. They let me know that I didn't have the mandatory $25 dollar minimum since after the $9 store discount I was only at $16.00ish. So they wouldn't double my Q's. I had to buy stuff I didn't really need in order to get them to double my Q's. I only bring this up because that was a bad shopping day for me and I don't want readers to think they can hit the $25 minimum with the cereal itself. Is it like this at your store too or just mine? Thanks for all your posts, I truly appreciate them.

    Hi Mandy!
    I am sorry that happened to you! Their registers are NOT programmed like they told you - if they would have "just tried" one coupon, it would have doubled.

    I have a reader who did the Kellogg's deal today ($1.98 each WYB8) and only needed the $2ish more as it went by the original shelf price of $23.84 instead of the sale price of $15.84 and her coupons doubled.

    Once in a while, you hit a store on the wrong day - or the wrong person. If you have that kind of an issue with your store, I suggest the self check out aisle... MUCH easier, and what I used to do at Cub Foods.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking! Today's recipe idea comes from Book Cooking. net Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar 2 egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
