I wanted to do a special post just for the Post Cereal at Albertsons this week. You have a fe different options so I have outlined them based on you coupon availability.
Idaho and other select region did not receive the $1/2 coupon from the Smart Source insert on 3/14. You do have the option of ordering the coupon on e-Bay, though they may not come in time for the double coupons (expire Sat.)
Post Selects - $1.59
$1.2 (from SS 3/14 - regional NOT ID)
Final Price = $1.09
Doubler Price = $.59
*Special Catalina -Buy 5 get $4 Coupon (OYNO)
Scenario #1:
Buy 6 = $9.54
Use 3 $1/2
Use 3 Doublers
OOP = $3.54
-Get $4 OYNO
Final Cost = $.46 money maker!!!
Scenario #2 :
Buy 5 Cereal = $7.95
-Get $4
Final Cost = $3.95 $.80 a box
Scenario #3 :
Buy 6 = $9.54
Use 3 $1/2
OOP: $6.54
-get $4 OYNO
Final Cost = $2.54 or $.42 a box

Just my math....and no local blogs have even mentioned this yet...but buying in increments of 4 is the cheapest. Ends up being only .34 cents a box. Buying 5 is .39 cents a box, and buying 6 is .42 cents a box. Without doublers.
when you buy 4 you get a $3 cat.
thanks Marne!
The best way to do this is to buy in increments of 4 and then use two post cereal coupons ($1/2) and ONE doubler per transaction. Your first transaction will be $3.36 OOP and then you will get a $3 catalina. Use this to pay for your next transaction and you will only pay 36 cents out of pocket. Repeat indefinitely. If you buy 40 boxes of cereal your total OOP before tax is $6.60. This comes out to 17 cents a box. Who said they would never use their high-school math skills again?
Crystal you ROCK with the math skills! I was seating here thinking "I don't want to buy a filler item and WHERE I am going to get all those doubles!" Thanks for solving my problem!
awesome! Thanks Crystal!!!!!
WOW! This deal just gets better and better!
I'm completely bummed not to have any coupons for post cereal now!
