No sir, I've just clipped 20 coupons from the 20 boxes of Corn Flakes I've purchased over the past week. Everyone in my office eats Corn Flakes (or at least their families do), and they've offered to buy the cereal from me! I prefer to barter: I just got a laptop, and it didn't come with a travel bag. A fellow worker is married to someone who works at a famous Maine merchant. He can buy a travel bag someone returned, perfectly adequate to carry a laptop (in fact, downright nice!), at the Outlet Store pretty cheap. He'll trade Corn Flakes for one of the bags he bought for himself! Another worker has a great recipe for cookies that uses Corn Flakes. I'll give her a couple of bags, and she'll bake me a plate of cookies!

I'm not in the league of Pudding Guy, but he's an inspiration! And, the local Walmart is selling 12 oz boxes of Corn Flakes for $1.28. The 18 oz size is $1.95. I'll buy until the prices increase to where they're no longer worth buying.

Everybody's happy: Walmart is going through Corn Flakes like there's no tomorrow, the food pantry gets some cereal to distribute, my workers will trade with me, the guy down the street has his cereal, and I get miles.
