I just posted a recipe for using all those Corn Flakes in OMNI. And, I cleaned off the shelf at my local Walmart this morning - all 12 boxes. They also sell the larger boxes (18 oz size) with certificates, but at $2 a box I'll pass.

Sure, in cold, hard monetary terms the worth of doing this may be questionable. But, as I was quoted in the online WSJ this week, I'm having so much fun doing this! I'm been dubbed the certified neighbor flake (get it?!), I'm able to trade or sell most of what I buy, and with the rest I've started to cook using recipes I found on the www.kelloggs.com website. People at work that I don't even know stop me on campus and call me the Corn Flakes guy! My family and co-workers appreciate the goodies I'm cooking, I do a bit of dad-to-daughter bonding over the stove, and life is good!

Again, I'm not dropping hundreds of dollars at a time. (I go to Foxwoods for that .) It's an extra $15-30 dollars a week, much of which I get back one way or another. And, I've met people via this board who actually understand that what I'm doing can be useful and fun.

Keep shopping!
