Why can I not stop?!



Okay, I happen to love getting a great deal. It makes my day...really...it does. I am happy as can be and it is all because I saved a bunch of money on groceries!! This week Smith's has a sale going on for cereal/fruit snacks/bars that if you buy 8 you only spend $8.00. That in and of itself is a sweet deal. So this morning I packed up the kiddos and off to Smiths we went. I packed the cart with all of my new found deals and headed to the check out. Hayden was so excited because there happened to be a bunch of boxes of "bee cereal" (honey nut cheerios) and Gushers ( I bribed him with them, and he was so good!) The lady at the check out said that she had to ring them up 8 at a time to do the deal. So when she finished the first one, she handed me the receipt along with a coupon that just so happens to be for the exact cereal that is on sale...$2.00 off. Wahoo...so she turned around and used it for my next 8 and so on. Coupons printed out every single time. I still have two more coupons and am debating going back and buying more. I have so much cereal that my new thing on my to do list is to go and organize my pantry room. I had stocked up on cereal a few weeks ago when Albertsons had their 7 for $14.00 deal that gave you 10.00 to spend at checkout. I made 3 trips to Albertsons that week. So now I have cereal and nowhere to put it! So, I guess the whole point of this post is that if you need cereal and live by a Smiths, pack up and go...maybe I will see you there!

I hope you and Kim are bonding about your bargain shopping. I'm not so good at it....but Kim had a similar post a few weeks ago. Good work on your great find.

I just was going to post when I saw Rachelle's comment! Its true! I love a good deal too. After all my cereal a few weeks ago, I got another 12 boxes or so this week because half of it was free and the other half was $0.50 a box!

Love it! We went to the same sale at Smiths (a couple times :) and we had gone to a Macey's sale a few weeks back, so we are also pretty good in the cereal department!
