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)
Total: $1.50 each
**DEAL IDEA**
Buy Colgate Optic White $3.99
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!

do you have a list of your “buy prices”. I found the Lloyds bbq at Safeway on sale and it was $1.99 after sale and coupons but I wasn’t sure if this was a good price or a stock up price.
Thanks
Heather
Yes that is a great price. I do have one, I will email it to you.
Thank you!
Could I get that list too? I have been trying to coupon, but I just don’t know which sale price is an good sale price or stock up price.

Good to know about Loyds cause I just bought for .1.99 too. Can you please email me that lust, too? That would be awesome! One more question, when did you guys record your tlc episode?
Ugh sorry. Dumb auto correct *list.and very funny story!
I bought the Post brand rasin bran before and thought the same thing as you. Since then I always get the Kellog’s brand. There is a difference.
So does that mean that whoever packaged it stole the raisins or did someone steal them AFTER they were pkgd and then tried to reseal the bag?
