    Default Good price cereal?

    Just want to ask if this is already a good price to buy?

    Kellorogs cereals, 3 for $6, with coupon $1 off 2 box
    Cheerios honey nut cereals, 2/$6, with coupon $1 off 1 box

    people always say they buy these at $1 per box......but I never see that low price, so wonder if it is already good?

    thanks

    I think it's a decent deal.

    Cereal is usually $3.49 to $3.99 per box.
    3 boxes for $6.00 is $2.00 per box
    With you Q, it's now 3 boxes for $5.00, that's about $1.67 per box or over half off the regular retail price.

    What you may have been able to do is if the sale was 3/$6.00, did you have to buy 3 boxes to get the sale price? Of could you have purchased two boxes ($2.00 each)?

    If you could have purchased 2 boxes for $4.00, then used your $1.00 coupon
    this would have reduced your cost to 2 boxes for $3.00 or $1.50 each.

    I think you did okay!

    Thumbs up

    I thought it was a great deal. When you purchase 3 boxes, you get a coupon for a free gallon of milk. Purchase 5 boxes and you get a coupon for 2 free gallons of milk. Purchase 7 and you get a coupon for 3 free gallons of milk. Once you subtract the $2 (best $ I've found) for each of the 3 gallons, it makes it 7 boxes of cereal for about $1.14 each. I bought 21 boxes and ended up with 9 free gallons. By the way, make sure you buy them 7 at a time and not all 14, 21 at the same time. It is 3 gallons for 7 OR MORE, so you'd only get 3 gallons. I can't beat that...at least not yet (just started)!

    maybe it will be a better deal for this week, as I just read the preview,

    seems like sth
    5/$10 for cheerios
    3/$6 for kelloggs
    2/$3 for Post cereals

    if there are coupons for them, it will be great!

    see if someone will be nice to find some coupons and share the deal with us

    There is a $1/3 coupon on the Shaw's website for selected Kellogg's cereal.
