  1. Malea, I love your site, we live in a small town in south central utah and the closest big name stores are at least 100 miles from us so i love that i can go on and find so many great ways to save when i do make a trip to go grocery shopping. My favorite cereal is Capt’n Crunch Berries. Thanks for all you do!

  9. We love Quaker Oatmeal Squares, but like you, I only buy cereal when it’s on a really good sale. If you have any pointers for how to get other varieties of cereal for cheap, I would love to hear them. It seems like it is the same cereal that goes on sale, and we’d love a little more variety. Thanks for all your posts!

    • I’ve seen similar sales on General Mills & Kellogg’s too! I think the trick is to watch the weekly ads. Some of the more healthy cereals are harder to find deals on… so that is when a printable coupon comes in handy to help drop the price. 🙂

  25. Actually, maybe I’m the only one, but I never watch the videos. I much prefer written posts. 🙂

    • Don’t worry! I’ll still be writing plenty of posts and posting plenty of deals. 😉

  26. Videos are great but sometimes I need to be quite and can’t listen to one. Is it possible for you to post a transcript of your videos somewhere? While feeding the baby if I have any noise going she wants to focus on that…but I can read it and she leaves it alone 😉

    Reply
    • Yes, I will definitely add those to the video. I will put a transcription in future videos for sure! Great idea!

  30. Thanks for the video! My favorite cereal is Quaker Ohs, but there are never sales or coupons for them so I hardly ever buy them. Like you, I only buy cereal when it’s super cheap because we go through it so fast. I always have a stockpile in my cold storage room and replenish it when there are great sales. At my local Dicks market this last week, they had GM cereals for 1.49 when you buy 8. But you also got a gallon of milk free when you buy 8. Combine the free milk and coupons on top of 1.49 cereals, and it was a super great deal at .75-.99 a box (plus free milk).

  82. Honey Nut Cheerios. If I pay attention to Savings Star when they feature Cheerios ( anywhere from .50 to $1.00) and Food Lion puts on sale 2/$4, and with coupon $1 off 2 or $1.50 off 3 can stock up for anywhere from .50 to $100 for the large boxes. Cheerios can be used to make homemade cereal bars that are simple to make, delicious and when cereal so inexpensive, no need to buy snack bars.
