I was reluctant to post this sale up today: Price Chopper is continuing for another week its special for cereal -- 4 boxes for $6 (all four must be purchased for that price). If you happened to save any manufacturer coupons, you can apply them to the sale. One of the grocery stores was giving away General Mills coupon books a few weeks ago on a rack by the front entrance. It was a rare sight, but when you see something like that and there are a lot of booklets available, try to take two. The coupon which I was able to apply to the sale was $1 off 2 boxes. Since I had four boxes, I could use two of these coupons, making the 4 boxes only $4. It was a frugal deal, not free and not very nutritious. My children only care for Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Although the box claims it has a bunch of vitamins and minerals (ranging from 2% copper to 30% thiamin and zinc and 35% vitamin B12), the sugar load is exhorbitant -- 10 grams.
Cheerios is clearly the best deal, nutrition-wise. Aside from 9% daily value of protein and the usual vitamins, it has an amazing 45% vitamin B6, 50% iron, and 60% folic acid. Grams of sugar? Only one. Most of the boxes include a coupon for Pampers -- $1.50 off. The popularity of it in my house, however, is zero. My daughter asked, "Why didn't you buy the Cheerios with honey in it?" "O" well, you can't win them all. Till my next blog, Cheerio!
