As a child my Aunt Marsha and Uncle Randy lived several hours away but I always LOVED going there because she always had TONS of different cereal to chose from. I am not not sure why that excited me so much, maybe I was used to having the off brands/bag cereal and as a kid I was excited to see the boxes of cereal I saw advertised on the tv. Now as a grown woman, every time I go to Michigan my Aunt and Uncle tell me they have plenty of cereal in their cupboards for me to eat, ha! The last visit up there Brian and I stayed with them and so my aunt went out the day before to stock up on cereal for me:)
Cereal is hugely on my mind right now because I just went and hit the Kroger sale. There general Mills cereal is 1/2 off for this weekend only. Every since I saw the add in my Sunday paper I have been looking forward to buying cereal today. 1/2 off is a crazy good deal for cereal but combined with coupons the deal becomes even greater!
I actually got 18 boxes, but 4 are for my MIL and 5 are for a friend. So I got 9 boxes for myself. I got each box for between 30-99 cents, with the exception of the Lucky Charms I picked up for a friend.
Here is what I got for myself for $11.92. Plus I got $8.00 coupon off towards my next purchase. So it was like paying $3.92 for all this.
9 boxes of cereal (which averages .60 cent a box), 8 packs of cereal bars for .49 cents each, and 2 packs of gushers/2 packs of fruit roll ups for 64 cents each.I honestly wish I had more cereal coupons to stock up more! But I suppose this will last us a little while:) So the question of the day is what is my FAVORITE cereal? Which is hard since I love cereal so much but I would have to say it is Raisin Nut Bran. I love it! However it is over $4.00 a box so I rarely get it, only when I have been a really good girl and feel like I am in worthy of a spurge!
Are you a cereal lover too? What is your favorite cereal? Do you like eating at other times of the day other than breakfast?

I saw the advertisement for that deal, but alas, I had to additional cereal coupons :( I love cereal too, though I haven't bought it in a long time. My fav is the Multi-Grain Cheerios, and yeah, I would totally eat it anytime of the day.
I love cereal and I can eat it any time of the day, too! It's hard to pick just one favorite, but I think Apple Jacks might lead the pack for me. I also love Corn Pops, Sugar Smacks, Golden Grahams, Granola, and Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat. Yum-O!
I love Life cereal! It's definitely my fave!
So how does this work? You just have 2 or 3 coupons for cereal and you can use more than one on the same item?? I've never tried to use more than one for an item. You need to teach me this skill!! :-)
My favorite - I love "Oh's" - rarely get it though because it too is expensive and there is no generic!!
Wow! girl you are an inspiration. I've gotten a lot better about the coupon thing but no where near that good. My favorite cereal would have to be either Oatmeal Squares (which is never on sale either) or Lucky Charms (but now they put too many marshmallows).
I send dad out to get me cereal and he just doesn't understand the difference between Raisin Nut Bran and plain ole Raisin Bran...of course I love Raisin Nut Bran and don't care for the other....oh well...that's my life in a nut shell...LOL!
