So (in case you haven't heard) the Post cereal sale starts today at Albertsons. Our area did NOT get coupons in the paper so if you planned ahead, you had to order coupons on Ebay. If you didn't plan ahead, don't worry, it's still a good deal if you buy by March 21st.
The following catalina will run through Sunday:
Buy 4 select Post cereals, get $3 back OYNO
Buy 5 select Post cereals, get $4 back ONYO
I unfortunately don't know which "select" Post cereals are included in the catalina. I guess it'll be trial and error (unless someone else can find that info, please let me know).
OK so here are some scenarios (thanks to fabulessly frugal!!):
IF you have NO COUPONS (just make sure you purchase by Sunday):
Buy 5 boxes @ $1.59 each = $7.95
less $4 catalina = $3.95
equals $.79 each (not an awesome price, but still a good price on cereal)
IF you have coupons AND doubles
Buy 4 boxes @ $1.59 each = $6.36
less $2.00 using (2) $1/2 coupons = $4.36
less $3.00 catalina (because wyb 4 boxes, the catalina is for $3.00)
less $1.00 (because you only want to double ONE coupon to minimize your oop)
equals $.36 (plus tax which I'm guessing will be $.14) for FOUR boxes!
$.09 per box (plus tax)
You might also consider purchasing SIX boxes ans asking the cashier to adjust the value of the double down. It would look like this:
Buy 6 boxes @ $1.59 each = $9.54
less $3.00 using (3) $1/2 coupons = $6.54
less $4.00 catalina (that you'll get the first time you buy 5 or more boxes of Post) = $2.54
less $2.00 (2) doubles
less $.54 3rd double adjusted down
equals TAX only!
If you have COUPONS and NO DOUBLES
Buy 4 x $1.59 = $6.36
less $2 using (2) $1/2 MQ = 5.59
less $3 Catalina = $1.59
= $.34 each!
