Never buy cereals at full price

I got 4 boxes of Cheerios and a gallon of milk for $5.90 at Safeway. This is why I don't buy cereals at full price. In fact, I try not to buy things at full price because there are always sales and coupons. But especially cereals. No matter what kind of cereals you like, they will eventually go on sale. I like multi grain and the medley Cheerios. I normally stock up enough until the next sale. Regular price, depending on the brand and size, is approximately about $4.89 a box at Safeway or about $3.89 at Walmart. Safeway has frequent sales for $2.50. So you save $2.39 a box just for waiting for sales. Plus, there are ALWAYS manufacture's coupons that you can use on top of sale prices. Usually, I get cereals, regardless of brand, for about $1.50 to $2 per box.

This time, its one of the cheapest deal in a long time. This is what I did. You can do it too since the Safeway deal lasts till Tuesday of next week.

Certain cereals and some particular Cheerios are on sale 4 for $10 and you get a FREE milk with it.
$1 off of $5 or more cereals purchase from personalized deal on J4U. (They say it's personalized deal, but everyone gets it if you have a J4U account)
$1 off 2 boxes of GM cereals (manufacturer coupons that you can get from Sunday paper or www.coupons.com)
$0.50/1 Cheerio (this is manufacturer coupon for regular plain Cheerio)
$1.60 off from Safeway J4U for getting milk (this was a surprise, it just happened).
