Is the Sunday Newspaper a Wise Buy?

Many have asked me, "How valuable is it for you to get the Sunday newspaper with the coupon inserts?" Well, I think the best way to answer is for you to look here, here, and here. Without coupons, these deals wouldn't have been nearly as good. To get the Tribune delivered to your house for $1/week, check out my post here!

Of course, we don't live off cereal. (In fact, sometimes I trade it for whole, unpasteurized, organic milk from my parents' farm.) But when I can find healthy cereal at a great price (like 6 boxes for $1.16), I stock pile as much as I know we'll use.  However, I do believe in good nutrition. We eat fruits and vegetables every day. We drink organic milk. We try to eat a fresh green salad every day. I love making my own bread. Yes, we do eat desserts, although it's a rare occurrence for me to buy packaged desserts and cookies (but we do love good ice cream!).  My point is: there's a balance. Scoop up those great deals, but don't forget to eat your green and orange veggies every day! 

My favorite place to buy greens: Sam's Club. Pick up a 16 oz. box of Organic Spring Green Mix for around $3.99!!

Post Cereal Haul

These 12 boxes of cereal cost me $2.32!! Here's what I did for each transaction:

• Use (3) $1/2 coupons = $6
• Pay with the $5 Catalina from doing this deal on a couple days earlier = $1
• Pay $1 + $.16 tax
• Receive another $5 Post Catalina

There's a Catalina deal going on for buying Kellogg's cereals 12 oz and over. Here's how YOU can get coupons for a free gallon of milk worth up to $4.69 (works on 1/2 gallons too):

• Buy 3 boxes & receive 1 Catalinas for a free gallon of milk

A note on the milk Catalinas: Check your expiration date as the date varies when you get more than one. This is an especially good deal for those of us who buy Organic Milk!! And it was even better a couple weeks ago when the cereal was $1.50/box. :)
