Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cereal for $0.50 at Dollar Tree!


Stopped at the Dollar tree this morning for some Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal for $0.50 a box. Check out details below on how.

Buy two (2) Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal boxes @ $1.00 each,
Use $1/2 Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal, 10.4 oz or larger - printable coupon from Facebook
Final Cost= $0.50 each when you buy two (2)


Can't beat this deal! Definitely a stock up price. You can print up to two (2) coupons per a computer you have, but check out Dollar Tree's coupon policy because I think you can only use two (2) printable coupons per a transaction (just do multiple transactions to use all your coupons).

$.99 Cent Only Stores Best Deals 12/12/12




This week at the $.99 Cent Only Store, I got some great goodies. I always get excited when I go because I always find something new. My store always gets a new shipment on Tuesdays, so I go on Wednesday after everything is put out. But they have been getting some shipments on Thursdays so I visit on Friday or sometime during the weekend in the morning. 

Remember to ask a manager at your local $.99 Cent Only Stores, to see when their shipment comes in to get the best deals. Also, these are couponless deals (no coupons needed for price), everything is $0.99 or less.

I always look for brand names, because these are items that are not always there and go really fast. There are items they purchase from other grocery stores that didn't sell or the palette might have been dinged on accident, so they sell the palettes to the $.99 only stores for cheaper and/or right before the food expires. The grace period I've seen the expiration dates on most foods I get, are between 1 to 6 months before they expire. Other times it's not food but foil, baby bottles, baby toys, etc. I usually find a lot of Evenflo and Beechnut products. It saved me so much money on many items.



::"Here's My Trip to the $0.99 Cent Only Store"::


(1) Bugles - $0.99
(1) Kraft Chicken Caesar Dinner Kit - $0.99
(1) Mio Energy - $0.99
(1) Gatorade - $0.79
(1) Hallmark Stickers, moveable decorations - $0.99
____________________________________
Final Cost= $4.75 



These are all great deals that I hope some of you go get. I will post every Wednesday on my trip to the $.99 Cent Only Store.
