Cereal, Cereal and More Cereal

I think I am almost fully stocked up on cereal.  I have about 24 boxes in my stockpile right now...almost enough for a three month supply in our house....I like to keep between 2 and 3 dozen when I can.  Not only do my kiddos love cereal, but it is a must for me in the mornings as I am always running late to get the kiddos to school and this is a quick, easy breakfast that usually no one complains about....usually:)

Here is what I picked up on Friday at the Jewel:

• 8 lbs Naval Oranges $3.98
• 5 lbs Idaho Potatoes $1.29 with in-ad coupon
• 1 Gallon Skim Milk $3.50.  Used Cat for free milk that I got the week before = $1 MONEYMAKER...the coupon scanned at the max value of $4.50 and the cashier gave me the overage
• 2.25 lbs Red Grapes $2.92
• 1-24ct Eggo Waffles $4.29.  Used a Jewel q I received in the mail for $3/$3 of frozen food items = $1.29
• 2 bags Jay's Chips $5.00

My OOP was only $11.78..not too bad for fresh fruit, milk and some other randoms.

On Saturday, the hubs and I hit up the Meijer for their one day sale to pick up some cheap cereal and other misc items.  Here is what we took home:

• 10 boxes Kellogg's cereal $19.90 after Meijer instant savings of $5.00 for buying 10 Kellogg's items. Used 2 printables for $5/5 = $9.90.  
• 2.25 lbs Bananas $1.28
• 1 bunch parsley $0.89
• 1 head lettuce $0.99
• 2 limes $0.34
• 2 large avocados $3.78
• 1 bag salad $1.99
• 1 container cherry tomatoes $2.99.  Used printable for .55/1 = $2.44
• 1 jar Pepperoncini peppers $2.29
• 2 lbs Krakus Deli Ham $7.22
• 1 package flour tortillas $0.99
• 1 jar Meijer salsa $0.99
• 2 International Delight Creamers $5.58.  Used 2 printables $1/1 and an mPerks q $1/2 = $2.58

In case you were wondering....tonight is taco night at our house and I needed some odds and ends along with my deals to make a yummy dinner.  My total OOP was $36.52 and I saved a total of $18.55 in q's and promos.  My kiddos were stoked when we got home and they saw that I had picked up some Cocoa Krispies...all is well in the world:)
