Giant Eagle Cereal Deal Stock-Up Example!

Hey guys – Sorry I haven’t posted today – I had a dentist appointment and then I went to Giant Eagle:)  My store had plenty in stock and I was able to grab some great deals – I just wanted to give a visual of the smoking HOT deals you can score to make sure you guys don’t pass up this stock-up opportunity :)

I was shocked to see many shoppers just rush thru the cereal isle and grab a box – one lady even grabbed a BIG box of cheerios that wasn’t even on sale…ugh :(  To see all the cereal deals broken down with coupons listed, go HERE.

How many boxes did you guys get? Here’s what I got -

3 boxes of Reeses Puffs @ $2.50 each = $7.50
4 Cocoa Pebbles @$2.50 each = $10
1 Grape Nuts = $3
4 Rice Krispies @ $2.50 each = $10
1 Honey Nut cheerios = $3
4 Cheerios @ $2.50 each = $10
4 Total @ $2.50 each = $10
1 Krave = $3
2 Fiber One @ $3 each = $6
3 Apple Cinnamon Chex @ $3 each = $9
1 Honey Bunches of Oats = $2.50
Total: 28 boxes for $74
Minus Coupons: $29.30
Pay at Store: $44.70
Get Catalina for Pebbles Cereal: $3 *will be posting about this shortly
Get Saving Star Deposit: $1.75
Get $1.40 Fuelperks = $42 when you buy 30 gallons (which I did right after my shopping trip!)
Final Price: It’s like getting 28 boxes for FREE plus a $2.05 Money Maker! 

*I’ve done the math a few times so I hope I didn’t  make any errors :)

*Remember that you  are paying $44.70 at the store  so even though you may get enough fuelperks to get a FREE tanks (I had fuelperks from before so I was able to pay nothing at GetGo today), you’ve already “paid” for your fuel while at the store :)   I explained it to my daughter like this:

You could go to the gas station and get 30 gallons of gas and pay X amount of money
OR you could go and buy 4 boxes of Cheerios and pay $6 at the store (after coupons) and get $6 off at the tank (when buying 30 gallons)

So in the end, you pay the exact same amount of money for 30 gallons of gas, but in the second example you not only have 30 gallons of gas but you also have 4 boxes of Cheerios :)

If anyone has any questions or doesn’t understand the deals – just ask:)

It gets even better if you can find the boxes of Fruity Pebbles marked over $100 in coupons inside. There was a coupon for .75 off one box Post Kids Cereal.

Just went thru my boxes…I had the ones with the Party City coupon and the Six Flags Coupon (Free Child’s admission with adult purchase) but no other coupons:( …..I did get a FREE Spongebob water squirter in my Honey Nut Cheerios :)

At my GE, only the Fruity Pebbles had the $100 coupons, while the Cocoa Pebbles had the Party City coupon.

I like how you think! We bought Cheez its a few weeks ago to collect the codes to see Spiderman for free- the cost of the Cheezits was about the same for the movie so it’s like getting the snacks for free!

We put up a pantry in our basement with wire racking- perfect for holding all the cereal!

I bought 20 boxes of Fruity Pebbles and split the checkout into 2 transactions. Got 2 $4 off your next orders. It was pretty sweet that they are doing multiples. I think I had 50 boxes of cereal in my cart. I took a photo and posted on Facebook. I got some weird looks. LOL
