Milk and Cereal Deal at Harris Teeter

I had to take J to a doctor’s appointment this week. We passed by Harris Teeter and I suddenly remembered that they were having triple coupons. Then I was so mad at myself because I didn’t bring my coupons (was driving hubby’s car). Harris Teeter is 30 minutes from my house.
After the appointment, I decided to take a walk through Harris Teeter to see what their specials were, without the triple coupon savings. I found several great deals. I picked up some cube steak, stew meat, boneless chicken, and deli meats and cheese. All were good prices.
Then I wandered down the cereal aisle. Harris Teeter had their Kellogg’s Mini Wheats buy one get one free. On the shelves were SmartSource coupons to save $1 on 1 box. Woohoo! I bought 6 boxes. The boxes were normally $3.75 each, so I was able to get 2 boxes for $3.75 minus the $2 in coupons. That made the cereal $.88 per box. Wow!
I was happy to get the cereal for $.88 per box, but things got better after I paid. At the end of my purchase, I was handed two coupons, each for a free gallon of milk. They were compliments of Kellogg’s. It was some kind of reward system which I think gave one free gallon of milk for every three Kellogg’s item purchased. I asked the cashier if I could leave my cart sitting next to her checkout while I went back to get the milk. We can always use milk in our house and I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to make another trip to Harris Teeter.
That means I got 6 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal and 2 gallons of milk for only $5.25!!!
I managed to make another trip to Harris Teeter this week with my coupons and saved a bunch. This time I purchased 6 more boxes of cereal, but it did not print out any more milk coupons. I’m guessing there must be a limit. Even without the milk, it is still a great buy and good stockpiling opportunity.
Good luck everyone.

great savings karen!!!! with your growing family, i’m sure yours is like mine…you can never have enough milk and cereal to feed those never ending appetites!!!
I was a bargain shopper before, but having J with us makes me even more of a deal seeker. He eats soooo much. He will be 11 in a few weeks and his appetite proves he is a growing boy.
I wish we had one here still. I miss good ole HT
Besides, I go through at least 4 gallons of milk a week. UUGGHH!!
