Here’s how the deal will work:
TRANSACTION ONE:
Purchase 6 boxes at $1.59 each ($9.54 total)
DOUBLE: (3) $1.00/2 Post Cereal Coupons on eBay
FINAL OOP: $3.54 (or $.59 each)
RECEIVE: catalina for $4.00 (because you purchased 5+ boxes)
TRANSACTION TWO:
Purchase 6 boxes at $1.59 each ($9.54 total)
DOUBLE: (3) $1.00/2 Post Cereal Coupons on eBay
USE: $4.00 catalina received on first transaction
Plus buy “something you need worth $.46 or more” to get the subtotal above $0.00
FINAL OOP: FREE (only pay tax and the amount of your filler item if it is more that $.46)
RECEIVE: catalina for $4.00
Do the deal as many times as you have coupons for!
PS We have not had a visual on the doublers! Our sources are saying doubles Wed-Sat. Doubles or not the sale is gonna be good!

I am a little cautious in hoping for that ad, our Albies area is not included in the areas listed at the bottom of page 1, so our ad may be a little different. I am worried that they will not give us doublers!! It would still be a great deal without them though!
Does anyone have any ideas for get more of Wednesdays ads (doublers)? I know you can get them in the newspaper and from the customer service desk, but I could use a lot.
Thanks!
Does anyone know what insert the Post coupons originally came in? I didn't order any on eBay because we're a 2-person household and already have quite a stockpile – but I wanted to get a few boxes if I had any of the coupons in my inserts.
Thanks!
Does anyone have any coupons they won't be using? I only need 5-10 coupons and didn't want to buy 20 of them!
Thanks!

ps: I am willing to pay you for your gas & time – not obviously for the coupon itself since that would be illegal.
The Post coupons came in the 2/28 SS in some areas.
Sophie we have a visual on the post sale ad and the doublers. DO NOT FEAR!
Big sigh of relief here!! Sometimes the pessimist in me just rears it's ugly head!!!
Buying in increments of 6 is definitely the most frugal if you have doubles. But here is my math once you have used all your doublers and assuming you still have Post $1/2 coupons to use:
Buy 6 x $1.59 = $9.54
less $3 using (3) $1/2 MQ = 6.54
less $4 Catalina = $2.54
equals 42 cents per box
Buy 5 x $1.59 = $7.59
less $2 using (2) $1/2 MQ = 5.59
less $4 Catalina = $1.59
equals 32 cents per box
Buy 4 x $1.59 = $6.36
less $2 using (2) $1/2 MQ = 4.36
less $3 Catalina = $1.36
equals 34 cents per box
So it looks to me like without doublers that 5 boxes is the best scenario. Plus that would maximize the number of boxes that you could get for the same amount of coupons (ie: getting 5 boxes per every 2 coupons instead of 4 boxes per 2 coupons).
Thanks for doing all the work Cathyb! I did a new post with great scenarios and included yours!
