    Haha! You girls are funny! But I get that "grease crave" every so often, and I'm ready to knock anybody over that's in my way from getting some... LOL!

    And around here, I buy cereal all the time. If I find it for $1 a box, you better believe I'm buying every one I have a coupon for. I'm just getting down to about the last 12 boxes out of about 50, so I'm on the look-out for a deal like the one you gals got. Pop-tarts? Same thing ....and no, I'm not ashamed. They eat plenty of fruit, nuts, and veggies to "even it out" as far as nutrition goes. As a matter of fact I wish they'd slow down a little...GEESH!! LOL!

    Our Publix has Cheerios in the great big box bogo free fairly often for $3.99. There are usually $1 co's off one often also. Brings the great big boxes down to $1.50 each which I think is a really good deal.

    I found Kellogs cereals 2 boxes for $4 and I had 5 one dollar off coupons. The cashier ran all 5 through so the cereal ended up costing 75 cents a box. I had more coupons at home, so I went back and got 4 more boxes. I hope they won't go stale. I now have 8 boxes of cereal to store......

    Pudding,pudding and more pudding. DS had oral surgery for wisdom teeth. Kroger had pudding for 10/10.00 so I bought 10!!! I didn't know what kind he would like so I bought a lot of diff. ones. Problem is now were all eating pudding. NOT diet friendly.
