Back to Blogging?

You are all going to laugh at me, but of all the things that have happened in the last month and a half, my first blog is going to be about an awesome grocery deal!!

In the newspaper coupons this week there was a kelloggs insert with pages of great coupons plus a rebate for $10 on the purchase of 10 items (as well as a coupon code good for $70 off Dell). Ok, good deal I thought... Then I saw the Schnucks ad had a deal for many of the same items- purchase 10 items get a catalina coupon for $5. So here's the math:

3 boxes Kelloggs cereal @ $2
2 boxes Kelloggs cereal @ $2.50
2 boxes Rice Krispie Treats @ $2
2 pkgs Keebler cookies @ $2
1 box Whole Wheat Wheat Thins @2.52
= $21.52
- $1/2 for 4 cereals, rice krispie treats, and cookies
- $.75/1 Wheat Thins
= $16.77
- $5 catalina coupon
- $10 mail in rebate
= $1.77!!!!

Plus there was a display near the front of the store with additional coupons for basics such as fruit, milk, and bread with the purchase of these same Kelloggs, Keebler, and Sunshine items. So, I also got free bread!!

Ok, now that I've opened Pandora's Box, I guess I've got a lot of posting to do. So check back soon for pics of our summer vacations and Allison just being adorable...
