Stockpile Opportunity at Food Lion

Filed under coupons, sale
I had to take the cat to the vet today ($$$$$, sigh) and stopped in Food Lion for a few things. They have some of their Kellogg’s cereals buy 1 get 1 free. What makes this deal so great is that the $1 Kellogg’s coupons are still on the shelves. Save $1 on each box of Kellogg’s cereal. Combine a coupon with a bogo opportunity and you can save big!
There is a limit of 2 free boxes per transaction. I did two transactions so that I could get 8 boxes of cereal. With the buy 1 get 1 free sale and the $1 coupon, the cereal ends up being around $.67-$.75 per box. Isn’t that great?!? With our family of five, we go through a lot of cereal.
The cereals that are on sale are Kellogg’s Special K varieties, Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops, and Rice Krispy treats.
Another stockpile opportunity is applesauce. The Food Lion applesauce and the Whitehouse High School Musical applesauce is buy 1 get 1 free. This makes the applesauce $1.10-$1.25 each.
By the way, I had to drive back out again to pick the cat up from the vet and I stopped in Food Lion again for 4 more boxes of cereal. I got 2 boxes of Special K, 1 box of Fruit Loops, and 1 box of Rice Krispies for $2.89, including tax! This means I bought 12 boxes of cereal today. My husband says they’re going to change my name from Thrifty Mommy to Cereal Mommy. lol
*There is also a $1 Kellogg’s coupon in the April 5th Red Plum coupon insert of the paper.
Enjoy the savings!

great sale/deals!!!! it’s always nice to be able to stock the pantry with staples like this….saves alot of money in the long run. i wish there was a food lion out here…it sounds like they run quite a few good sales.
great deals just wish I had one near me.
karen, are the $1 coupons on a tear pad on the shelves? i’m going to check my local stores and see if it’s a kelloggs promo that they might have also. is it $1 off 1 or $1 off 2?
The coupons are in the little automatic coupon dispenser machines. I think they’re done by SmartSource. My Food Lion had two of the machines and one of them was already empty today when I went back. Good luck.
I bought 4 more boxes yesterday. That makes 16 boxes now. lol I wonder how long it will last us. If I buy any more, I’ll donate them to the local food bank.
