Oh, if I ever could love a grocery store, it would be Giant... But seriously, this week there is a great deal on Kellogg's cereal! And you don't have to order coupons either. Just print them.  Depending on the cereal you want, you can come out just over $1 for eight boxes of cereal (trips one and two).

So here is how the deal works.  You buy 4 participating Kellogg's cereals and you get $6 off instantly.  If that isn't good enough, you also will get a $4.50 off a gallon of milk at the end from the coupon printer.  I know, milk isn't $4.50 (depending on what kind you buy).  No worries! As long as you buy something with it, you get the full $4.50. So buy milk at $3.90 and something else for .60 and it's all free!  I buy milk anyway, so I just count it toward my cereal savings. You can do this as many times as you want in a transaction. I just went in different trips because it's how it worked out.

NOTE TO SELF: the milk coupons expire about a week and a half from your purchase. So plan accordingly!

Here are the scenarios that I have done and am doing. 

First trip:
Kellogg's Corn Flakes $3.79 (great for chicken fingers if you don't like them plain)
Caramel Crunchy Nut $3.79 (it's a newer cereal)
Krave double chocolate $3.99 (not healthy... but no worries we get Special K later!)
Cinnamon Roll Mini Wheats $3.99 (see above)

These are the printables on Kellogg's site and coupons.com:
.50 off one Corn Flakes
.50 off one Caramel Crunchy Nut
.70 off one Krave
.50 off one Cinnamon Roll Mini Wheats

This is when it really matters that Giant will double all of those coupons! Total coupon discount = $4.40

Total for cereal before coupons: $15.56
                                                -  6.00 instant promo savings
                                                -  4.40 coupons
                                                  $5.16
                                                -  4.50 back toward milk
                                                    $.66 for four boxes of cereal!!!

Second trip:
3 Cocoa Krispies $3.19 each
1 Cinnamon Roll Mini Wheats $3.29

These are the printables on Kellogg's site and coupons.com:
.50 off one Cinnamon Roll Mini Wheats (This one doubles!!)
$1/3 Kellogg's cereals
Total coupon discounts: $2

Total for cereal before coupons: $12.86
                                               -   6.00 instant promo savings
                                               -   2.00 coupons
                                                 $4.86
                                               -  4.50 back toward milk
                                                    .36 for four boxes of cereal!!!

Third trip: (8 more boxes)
4 Special K cereals $2.99
3 Cocoa Krispies $3.19 each
1 Caramel Crunchy Nut $3.19

These are the printables on Kellogg's site and coupons.com:
$1/3 Kellogg's cereals
.50 off one Caramel Crunchy Nut (Doubles!)
(2) $1/2 Special K cereals
Total coupon discounts: $4

Total for cereal before coupons: $24.72
                                               - 12.00 instant promo savings ($6 x 2)
                                               -  4.00 coupons
                                                 8.72
                                               -  9.00 back toward milk
                                                  MAKE .28 for eight boxes of cereal!!!

NOTE TO SELF: You don't have to go in different trips.  It just worked out that way for me.

Get to printing coupons and go get the cheap cereal!! :)) For the kellogg's printables, go to http://www.kelloggs.com/ and it's under offers and promotions. You do have to make a login, but it's worth it.

Good luck!
