Today while grocery shopping (I live in Los Angeles) at Ralph's Grocery, I noticed that the Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats cereal that have the 100 AA miles coupon on them was on sale for $2 a box. Not bad but it gets better. The cereal boxes have a coupon on the side of them for $1 off your next purchase of Frosted Mini Wheats. Since Ralphs
doubles the value of any manufacture's coupons, if I do my math correct, the next box of Frosted Mini Wheats I buy is
FREE. And then when I puchase that "free" box, I will get another coupon for $1 off my next box (which will then be doubled so that box is free), and the cyle repeats itself until.....?
Granted, you have to purchase a couple of boxes at $2 each to start the coupon chase going, but if you have a couple of Kelloggs manufacture's $1 off 2 boxes that they put by the 1,000's in your Sunday newspaper,(effectively bring the cost of your first boxes down to $1 each), then the cost isn't too shabby.
I have to admit that I bought a two boxes this morning. The Mrs. wouldn't let me buy any more than two boxes.
