OK, going through the coupons in the paper today, there are 2 real quick that I noticed. I will be running in quick OR more likely price matching at Walmart the 2/$4 Kellogg’s Raisin Bran cereal. Raisin Bran is a family favorite cereal in my house. Although my price point for cereal for the kids is $1 – $1.25 I will pay $1.50 for Raisin Bran as it is harder to get a deal on it.
You will need to grab a paper this weekend to get theses deals starting Sunday! I don’t like paying for toothpaste, but I have not tried this kind and might spend $.49 on it!
**DEAL IDEA**
Buy 2 Raisin Bran 2 for $4
$1/2 Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Crunch, or Raisin Bran Extra Cereal, exp. 10/23/11 (RP 09/11/11)

Use $1.50 Colgate Optic White coupon in 9/11 SS
Total: $2.49
Get Back: $2
Here is my Raisin Bran story:
Raisin Bran is the one cereal that both my husband and I love. I love “healthy” cereal and he loves sugary. But we both could eat an entire box of raisin bran if left unattended 🙂
I don’t normally crave anything while I am pregnant is it usually for the first couple weeks after I have a baby that for some reason I crave things… This time I was really desperate for some raisin bran! I grabbed some this weekend while shopping and poured a bowl as soon as I got home!
“What have they done to the raisin bran?” I cried,They changed it! This is horrible, I hate it when they go and changed something that is perfect 🙂
My husband looks at the box, “You got the wrong kind sweetheart.”
“What? What do you mean, it’s raisin bran!”
Rolling his eyes he informs me, “There are 2 kinds, Kellogg’s and Post, you got Post and we like Kellogg’s. Kellogg’s has the sweeter raisins and more bran flakes.”
I had no idea! We then had a seriously intellectual conversation for the next 30 min. on the properties of both kinds of raisin bran and how for the past 14 years have I ALWAYS managed to grab the right box and never knew there was a difference!
This is where it gets funny: I am at work yesterday and I am on the phone, my husband calls my cell phone, I have to ignore it and figure I will call him right back. He calls the front office and asks them to transfer him to me, I still am TRYING to get off the phone and get to him assuming it is an emergency. I miss him again and finally call him back.
“What happened, whats wrong??!!” I ask.
“I went and got you the right box of raisin bran last night, you didn’t see it this morning so I thought I would have a bowl for you” he says. “Your not going to believe it, but there are NO raisins in the bag!”
“Did you get the right kind?” I mock.
“Very funny, so I call customer service and she asked me if the bag had been tampered with? I asked her, if she is asking, if someone stole all the raisins from the bag. The nice lady explained that SOMETIMES it HAPPENS!”
So that answers that: There really ARE people in the world weirder than my husband and I!
