]]> 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!

cereal-and-applesauce

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!  :)

]]> I got a couple of great ideas from thrifty life tips.  Kristi is full of great ideas and runs one of the most helpful sites I have come across in a long time.  After reading her tips on cereal and write and wipe board, take some time to browse the site.  I promise you will find something that will save you tons of money.

Her tip is to buy a box of your kid’s fave cereal and when it is finished, just keep replacing the contents with the store brand version of the same cereal.  That way your kids will probably never know the difference and you will save money.  How sneaky is that?!  It would really work if you start when your kids are young.

The other tip is to make your own dry erase board.  Cover construction paper with clear contact paper and play away.

How cool is she!  Hope you are able to save some money and spend more time with your kids today.  See you later.
