Great deal on Kellogg's Cereal!

So I don't usually share the secrets of my couponing sucesses on my blog, but this offer is so great I just couldn't resist (plus, I know my Dad really, really likes Raisin Bran Crunch).

I'm getting 10 boxes of Kellogg's cereal for only 56 cents per box.  You can, too.  Want to know how?

Through 12/31/2011, you can earn a $10 per-paid Mastercard that can be used for gas purchases by completing the form found here and sending in UPCs from 10 participating Kellogg's cereals**.  And guess what!  You can earn up to 5 pre-paid Mastercards!

Since you don't need to send in a receipt for the rebate, check your pantry to see if you already have any of the participating cereals**.  I bought 2 boxes of Crispix cereal the other day for $1.66 each, with a $1/2 manufacturer's coupon (plus I got a coupon for free milk, but let's just say I got those for $1.16 each).

Next, I ordered 8 boxes of Raisin Bran Crunch from Amazon.com, currently priced at $8.58 for four 18.2 ounce boxes.  I chose the "subscribe and save" option*, to save an additional 15%, bringing the price down to $7.29 for four boxes, plus I used the coupon code KELRTEC2 during check-out (valid today, 3/31, only) to save an additional 10%, bringing the price down to $6.44 for 4 boxes, or $1.61 each.

Once my cereal arrives, I'll send in the UPCs and the rebate form, making my total cost (including the stamp) for 10 boxes of cereal $5.64, or 56 cents each!

Don't like Raisin Bran Crunch?  Amazon is currently offering four 20 oz boxes of Raisin Bran cereal for $9.30 ($7 after the 25% discount).  And, of course, you can just go to the grocery store to purchase 10 participating cereals, too, and don't forget to check your pantry :)

* The Subscribe and Save Cliff Notes version: when you order through subscribe and save, you will receive 15% off your order and your order ships free.  You choose an interval for shipments (I always choose the longest option, 6 months), you can cancel your subscription at any time.  I always wait to cancel until I get notification that my order has shipped, but you can cancel future shipments immediately after placing your order if you wish. For more information on subscribe and save you can go here.
