Yes, my family does like cold cereal. The kids like it for snacks as well as breakfast. And we go through a lot. Thank goodness for cereal sales and coupons!
Also, last week I did something I almost never, ever do: I paid for a newspaper to get coupons. Specifically, there was a $5 off $30 Publix coupon in last Wednesday's paper. I decided to buy one more copy (besides the one I normally receive), which cost 75¢. I've included the cost of that paper in this trip.
I also used the $10 off $50 gas card coupon in the weekly ad to get a $50 gas card for only $40. I haven't included that cost (or savings) below.
Here's what I got this week at Publix:
6 Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal @ BOGO $3.99 = $11.97
- 3 $1/2 Rice Krispies coupons from the 4/17 RedPlum insert
= $8.97 for six, or $1.50 each
6 Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal @ BOGO $3.99 = $11.97\
- 6 70¢ off Crunchy Nut coupons from the 3/27 RedPlum insert
= $7.77 for six, or $1.30 each
2 Kraft mayo @ BOGO $5.18
- $1/2 Kraft mayo coupon from the 4/10 Smartsource insert
= $4.18 for two, or $2.09 each
2 Tidy Cat litter @ BOGO $2.49 (for the pet rabbit)
- 2 $1 off Tidy Cat coupons from the 5/1 SmartSource insert
= 49¢ for two, or 25¢ each
1 newspaper @ 75¢ (bought last Wednesday but included here as a couponing expense)
$5 off $30 Publix coupon from the Spring Cleaning Sale booklet (found in newspaper)
Total before coupons: $32.26
Total after coupons: $17.16
Total savings based on full-priced items at Publix: $56.81
Real savings: (what I saved compared to buying these items at an everyday low prices store like ALDI or Walmart) approximately $12
Your family likes cereal just as much as mine. I stocked up on the Crunchy nut when it was b1g1 at harris teeter 3 weeks ago. I got 14 boxes. We are almost done! My kids eat them as snacks. My 3 year old has to bring snacks to school for the other kids once a month and we brought some of the cereal which was a big hit! Gotta love cheap cereal. Crunchy nut is really good!
