This is how my cereal deals worked out.
Quaker oatmeal: On sale 5 for $10, must buy 5. I bought 6, so I could use 3 of my $1 off 2 coupons. Paid $8, getting $5 back in rebate. Makes final price $0.50 a box!!!! Woo hoo! Much better than the usual price of $3.50.
Kellogg’s: on sale 5 for $8, must buy 5. I bought ten. I only had 3 of the $1 off 2 coupons left. So final cost at Acme was $13, getting $10 back in rebate. Makes final prices $0.30 a box!
I had to ring up the Kellogg’s separately so that I would have a receipt for each rebate.
TIP: Just go ahead and cut off the UPC codes before you put the stuff away. I didn’t, and had to dig out all 15 boxes, cut the codes, then put away again. But I also usually do the rebates right away so I don’t forget about it. Rebate checks are a nice surprise to get in the mail.
