This Week's $20 Challenge is all about cereal

Cereal, cereal and more cereal. There are some good deals on cereal this week at many grocery stores and when you can match that up with coupons it makes it even better. Now I did go 73¢ over my $20.00 this week, but I will recoup that in a rebate.

These 10 boxes of Kellogg's Cereals have 1 code each in them for a promotion for Cars 2. Every 4 codes earns you a $5 pre-paid visa card. So each box is worth $1.25 to me on top of the sale and coupons. Plus I already had 2 codes from boxes that we already had in our pantry. In 6-8 weeks I will recoup my 73¢ overage plus the other $14.27.
