My sister in law from Boise called us and told us Albertsons is having a huge sale on Cereal. If you buy 100 boxes of cereal it ends up that you are only paying 24 cents per box. Great deal right!? So my other sister in law and I go to albertsons over in Hayden to get..... yep t
hat's right 100 boxes of cereal... now we were not buying it all for ourselves we planned on splitting it between 4 families that live up here...
So down the cereal isle we go. We started filling the cart... then another one... We stuffed 2 carts full top and bottom, with 100 boxes of cereal! We pretty much cleaned them out! It was all we could do to keep from laughing so hard so we didn't pee our pants! So off to the check out stand we go.... Now if you are thinking we were mistaken about the sale... don't worry it wasn't that bad.. We didn't have to put them all back!
Now the way this sale is supposed to work is you buy 7 boxes at a time.. after you buy 7 boxes you pay and then a 10 dollar off coupon prints... then you run the next 7 boxes and then scan the 10 dollar off coupon and another one will print off... so you pay something like 2.34 for 7 boxes of cereal and at the end yo
u still end up with a 10 dollar coupon good for anything in the store... well it didn't quite do that right at first it was printing 3 dollars off and 6 dollar off coupons. So the lady had to add the rest till a 10 dollar coupon printed off... and we just used that the whole time....
Everyone was staring at us... Probably thinking what anyone would think up in N. Idaho about some people buying this much cereal. (what the heck do you need that much cereal for... Crazy ladies) but it worked out we got all of our 100 boxes of cereal and on the way out of the store bags were falling out then we stuffed them all in my car to bring them home and sort them out... so 25 boxes per family and it only cost each family 6 dollars for 25 boxes.... My sister in law Brooke and I are COUPON NINJAS! LOL!
Needless to say I will probably never do that again, partly due to the embarrassment factor, but now that we have 25 boxes of cereal I realize Dan is the only one who eats the cereal! We wont be buying any more for probably a year!
this is not all the cereal.. just 75 boxes.. a lot of cereal though!

You goofball nutcases!! I will have to give Brooke a hard time about that too!! I would be laughing so hard I would have peed my pants just seeing you 2!! Crazy Ladies is right! HEHE
Still love ya though weirdo!! :) :)
I love it! People were probably trying to figure out who in the world you were going to feed all that cereal to.
I love good couponing deals! I still brag about some awesome deals I got a few years ago. I think I'm past due for another one.
NICE!!! Good deals are one thing I really miss about the US. How nice that you had somebody to go with you... can you imagine doing it all alone, just you, 2 carts & 100 boxes of cereal? Haha. Way to be frugal.
