First off, is it possible? Yes,
if all the stars align just right and today they did! My coupon queen
buddy was able to buy 124 boxes of Kelloggs and General Mills cereal
and earn $6.20 off every gallon of gas she bought. Of course, she can
only use up to the price of gas and then roll it over to the next fill
up, meaning she will likely get TWO tanks of gas free. How did she do
it?
Both General Mills and Kelloggs have had coupons out lately
for $1 off each box. She shops at Giant Eagle where they are currently
having a 'dollar double' special. This means that they doubled the
amount of her coupon up to a $1. So, for each coupon she had, she was
able to save $2 on a box of cereal. Giant Eagle was also kind enough to
put cereal on sale this week at the price of 4 boxes for $10. If that
wasn't enough kindness on their part, they added gas perks. They
offered 20 cents off each gallon of gas when you bought four boxes of
cereal.
Using 124 $1 off a box of cereal coupons she purchased
124 boxes. Giant Eagle doubled that to give her $2 off each box. The
boxes were $2.50 each. She then used over $50 in special coupons called
Catalina's that she earned during last weeks shopping trip to use on a
future order. That brought her total to below $10. She was able to fill
up her SUV gas tank for free and will have enough left over to probably
get another tank very close to free.
What in the world does the
average household do with 124 boxes of cereal? Sell it for $2 a box at
their yard sale. Now that is one smart shopper!
