Post Cereals for $.27 at Albertson's




Right now many Albertson's stores around the country are running a huge Post cereals promotion. Several varieties of cereal are priced at $2.07 each, but for every 2 you purchase, they automatically take off $1. PLUS, when you buy five boxes in one transaction, a catalina for $5 off your next purchase prints out... and this deal "rolls," meaning you can do multiple transactions, paying for each with the $5 catalina, and then a new one will still print! This works out to a REALLY sweet deal on cereal. Here's what to do:

Transaction #1:

Buy 5 boxes of Post cereal (select varieties) $2.07 x 5 = $10.35
Use (2) $1/2 manufacturer's coupons from 3/29 insert   - $2.00
Register automatically subtracts $2.00 ($1 for every 2 boxes)   -$2.00
Total out of pocket for first five boxes (before tax) = $6.35 
Then get back a $5 off your next order catalina coupon

Transaction #2:

Buy 5 boxes of Post cereal (select varieties) $2.07 x 5 = $10.35
Use (2) $1/2 manufacturer's coupons from 3/29 insert - $2.00
Register automatically subtracts $2.00 ($1 for every 2 boxes) -$2.00
Pay with $5 off your next order catalina coupon -$5
Total out of pocket for 2nd set of five boxes: $1.35 ($.27 per box!)
And another $5 off your next order will still print!

Repeat this transaction over and over as long as you have coupons, and you will still end up with a $5 catalina at the end of all your transactions! Even if you don't have any coupons,  the final price per box still comes out to only $.67!

I just did this deal last night at my local Albertson's, and it worked like a charm. Here are the varieties of cereal available on the promotion at my store:

Honey Bunches of Oats (Honey, Almond, and Chocolate varieties)
Post Selects (Blueberry Morning, Cranberry Almond Crunch, Great Grains, Banana)
Shredded Wheat (Frosted and Honey Nut)
Raisin Bran
