I need cereal!

[KenyaMK]

We have finally run through our 28 boxes of Special K varieties that I got a few months ago on special sales/coupons.

I think the coupons were for 2 boxes each and almost free with BOGO and couponing.....I know I used 2 coupons per day for them and got as many as I could with that (used the 3rd coupon for Special K cereal bars).....just clarifying all of that so you know I played by the rules.

I didn't realize we were low until it was too late.

So, I have been paying $2 for Harris Teeter brands but really need some DEALS.

The last 2 weeks of HT deals haven't shown any cereal.....am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dawn

Funny, we are really low on certain cereals too. I am totally out of Cheerios and down to my last box of Frosted Mini Wheats, but as you say, there have not been any appealing deals lately. Hopefully soon...

lol I make sure to pay attention when I get under 10 boxes and start looking then, you never know what you will find. stupid thing is, I found peelies last week for $1/1 any kelloggs cereal that were new peelies, and they were EXPIRED!! they expired 4/30/2010!! BUT THEY WERE JUST PUT ON THE BOXES!! someone was holding out on them. I realized it when I was prepared to come to ht and do the $5 off 5 kelloggs cereals thingy they had going on to make it an awesome deal, but alas no such luck. I don't see anything this week for cereals, mostly desert and cookout stuff this week.

if there is a GM cereals deal anywhere, you can use the multitude of printables or the .50/1 cheerios to get them for less than $2 a box. I would choke if I had to pay $2 a box for cereal

[uummm]

I paid $.90 a box last week for HN Cheerios at LF...They had 2 other kinds on sale too that were less than $1 with coupon but I don't remember which GM it was...I only got the HN Cheerios.

food lion has GM cereals at BOGO. I got lucky charms for 1.22 a box with the $1 off 2. And there are printables of lucky charms and cheerios the honey nut type. Id look at food lion prob. I read that HT had $1 off kellogs but i dont know the official price. Half the ones n sale are the ones recalled! lol.

Thanks. There is only one Food Lion near me and I rarely go in because it is kind of gross......but I do need cereal.

Does FL double coupons?

Does FL have the 3 coupons of a kind per day rule?

Thanks,

Dawn

Dawn -

Most FL stores do not double coupons (a few do, so you could call the one close to you and ask - but odds are they don't).

As far as how many per day - they don't have an official written policy regarding how many. So you should be able to use several - however, many FL managers/cashiers/csrs are very prone to make up their own rules as you go along so they may tell you no if you try to use more than about 3 or 4 of the same. My advice is to try to make several trips over a few days if you possibly can.

Check the FL forum for the deals this week - there is also a great deal on Capri Suns at FL this week!

Sorry to hijack the HT thread with FL info but she asked!

Back to your regularly scheduled HT programming.....

Ok, got some cereal.

I stopped at Target for something else and they had their 1 pound (large) boxes of Cheerios for $2.49 each on sale. Then, on each box was a $1 coupon. I got 6 boxes of the large boxes for $1.49 each.

Not free, but a good deal.

I should have gotten more, but I wasn't sure I could do more than one per customer and once I knew I was too tired to go back through the line with my kids.

I will check out the FL deal tomorrow.

food lion has the lucky charms, trix. cocoa puffs (i think) and cinamon toast crunch as the BOGO. There are blinkies for 75/2 of cinamon toast crunch. Or 55 cent off lucky charms printable. There might also be mfq $1/2 I think I only had one of these.
Next week cvs is having a sale on post cereals 3/$10 get 5 ECB back too.

Thanks. I think I will head down today and see what they have.

I was trying to stay away from high sugar cereal, but then I brought home the cheerios and my HUSBAND turned up his nose and said, "Oh, they are only the PLAIN ones?"
