Honest...I'm sad about not having Grape Nuts. <br /><br />Honestly, we eat cereal past the expiration date all the time, and it's usually fine. I might not if it had nuts, but then again, I might. I think the box of Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch I'm working on right now expired over a year ago. It's fine. I stocked up way too much back in the days before I realized that my husband will NOT eat cereal. I know. It's crazy. He does eat cabbage, though!<br /><br />Hmm, anyway, so if there aren't Grape Nuts in this sale, I probably don't need as many coupons as I have. I live in Eastern Idaho, but if anyone wants some extra Post coupons, I'd be happy to share.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330485700488718138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337741890422957982.post-73596176008031982512010-03-17T00:14:56.383-06:002010-03-17T00:14:56.383-06:00Thank you for all the nice comments!

I personally like when all you bloggers do videos and photo posts of your recent buys; I think it helps the unbelieving folks turn into believers.

When I ordered the ones for the Honey Bunches of Oats, the lady sent me 20 for regular and 20 for kids, so now I have 60 coupons.

Don't apologize for needing that many. You ladies work hard and share your info with us. You could just be doing all of this and keeping it to yourself.<br /><br />I bought 40 coupons, and need roughly 80 boxes.

That's a lot of cereal. I say that not ...Wow. That's a lot of cereal. I say that not in judgmental way at all; it's more of a "wow, no wonder you need to stock up on this stuff when it's super cheap! kind of awe. At $4-ish per box retail price, poor Cathy would be spending $1500 dollars a year just on cereal!<br /><br />I have 5 coupons, so the most I'll buy is 10 boxes. And even that is pushing it. I bought 10 boxes of cereal in January when it was super cheap (Cap'N Crunch, Apple Jacks, and Fruit Loops) and I think we've emptied one. We could use some Honey Bunches of Oats and some Raisin Bran. Twenty boxes of cereal will probably last us a year. <br /><br />Sophie - I do the same thing. I check this blog every day because it's so awesome, and feel like a leave a lot of comments. We need a forum! <br /><br />Thanks for all the great info ladies! Your work maintaining this blog is so appreciated. <br /><br />~SusanGaoyouMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429760497677977630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337741890422957982.post-78502597278916237342010-03-16T17:55:36.669-06:002010-03-16T17:55:36.669-06:00Will you be getting extra doublers?Will you be getting extra doublers?Mechela Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142827903133836437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337741890422957982.post-48100988134091033232010-03-16T17:00:35.309-06:002010-03-16T17:00:35.309-06:00Can you tell I am addicted to your blog by all the...Can you tell I am addicted to your blog by all the comments I make?!
