**Updated with more accurate info!!** (rather than doing ANOTHER cereal post, I’m just updating).
So I want to talk more about this fantastic Albertsons Post Cereal sale that starts tomorrow.
The Caldwell store manager, Jared, warns that there may not be much product at some of the stores at first, as they didn’t get much notice about this sale. He advised us that both the Nampa stores have ordered 50 palettes of cereal from Post, and he ordered 70 for his store (which is located at 2500 Blaine St in Caldwell).
The cereal is on sale for $1.57 a box – WHEN YOU BUY TWO.
There is also a catalina sale going (according to PYP)
Buy any Post cereal (10 oz or larger) during purchase dates and save up to $5 off your next order (Voucher will print after you pay)
buy 3 get $2 off
buy 4 Get $3 off
buy 5 or more and get $5 off
Between 3/27/09 and 4/19/09
(so it sounds like if you buy 10, you’ll still only get one $5 cat)
Here’s what Tricia figured out for us above. It looks like it would be best to purchase 6 boxes of cereal for $1.57 each. Use 3 $1/2 coupons, give your $5 catalina, and you’ll pay $1.42 (plus tax) for your six boxes of cereal. This is approx .24 for a box of cereal. Still an amazing deal!
Now about those coupons!
As Monica mentioned, you can find a coupon for $1 off any two boxes of Post Selects cereal in the March 1st Smart Source insert.
There is also $1/2 Post Raisin Bran, Shreeded Wheat, or Grape Nuts in the Sunday (3/29) Smart Source Insert.
Want more coupons? Here is what I’m doing – I just went on eBay and ordered 20 coupons that are good for $1/2 Post Selects (they do expire April 12th) – it cost me $1.99 with shipping. I’m sure I’ll get it by Wednesday or Thursday. I also found another *Buy It Now* auction for 20 $1/2 coupons good on POST Shredded Wheat, Raisin Bran, Grape-Nuts Nuggets or Flakes. So I’m paying just under $4 for another 40 coupons that will save me $40 in cereal. Let’s assume I really do go purchase 80 boxes of cereal (FIRST AND FOREMOST – I would NOT do this all in one day at one store!! That is called HOARDING and is rude and inconsiderate!!), I’ll end up doing and spending $19.20 out of pocket (not including tax) for 80 boxes of cereal! Not too bad!
Be aware that this sale isn’t for “sugar” cereals (as we so lovingly call them at my house). See Monica’s previous post for the list of cereals that are included in this sale.
Have fun and play nice!
ps – Let’s help each other out this week and share when you find a store that is out of stock, or has a lot in stock, or if you find out when they’ll be getting more in stock!
You are most definitely FABULESS!!
