Dollar General 6-25-2011

I wasn't looking for any deals when I went into Dollar General earlier today.  I just needed to pick up a few essential items for the house.  As I was headed out the door I noticed they had put out their 50% off rack, so I walked over to take a look.  Well they had a bunch of Kellogg's Fruit Loops marked down due to the fact that the expiration date is in mid July ... well we go through a TON of cereal in my house (i have a 16 yr old and a 10 yr old that love it!) so the expiration date didn't bother me.  I got to thinking ... Hmmmm ... I was going to use my Kellogg's coupons ($2.00 total) at Walgreen's later today ... why not use them now?!?! So I asked the lady how much the boxes were originally ... $3 - marked down to $1.50 per!!!  Well Walgreen's had their boxes (smaller boxes too!) marked at $1.99 per so I was saving an additional $0.49 per box!!!  SO ... I decided the Dollar General ones were a way better buy.

5 Kellogg's Fruit Loops (12.2 oz per)  $15.00  original price
                                                           $ 7.50   sale price
