Save Money on Cereal & Breakfast Items Tip # 1 - Cereal can be a great bargain food when purchased on sale and/or with a coupon, but if it's not on sale don't buy it!! Tip # 2 - It's often cheaper to buy the smaller boxes of cereal, whether on sale and/or with a coupon or not. The cereal companies know we like to buy in bulk so the bigger boxes can sometimes be priced at a higher amount per ounce! Tip # 3 - Bacon, sausage and other breakfast meats can be purchased in bulk when on sale and stored in the freezer! Tip # 4 - Try cutting bacon strips in half (before cooking) so everyone will eat less - while feeling like they're eating more. Tip # 5 - Grits are a wonderful economical breakfast food and can be found in the cereal section next to the oatmeal. At least throughout the South. ;o) Tip # 6 - DON'T waste your money on those little 'quick and easy' packages of oatmeal and cream of wheat, just make the real stuff yourself. Not only will you save money, but the real stuff tastes soooooo much better! Tip # 7 - Eggs are also a very inexpensive breakfast food...
Tip # 8 - Many grocery stores offer special sales on cereal (either 2 for $4.00, 2 for $5.00, or my all time favorite, "Buy 1/Get 1 Free"). These sales will often change each week so if you or your children like boxed cereals be on the lookout for when your favorite brands go on sale and buy a little extra. Note: "Buy 1/Get 1 Free" sales usually have a limit of 2 free items, but you can always visit the store more than once if necessary. Tip # 9 - And don't forget you can use two coupons with each of these special sales, unless the coupon requires you to purchase two boxes. In this case, you can use two coupons and buy four boxes... for the "Buy 1/Get 1 Free sale you'll get two boxes for free and the other two at a great price! Tip # 10 - Bagged cereals are also a great buy, especially when compared to purchasing boxed cereals at regular price. If you're unsure just compare the ounces on each package to see what I mean. And if you get them at a discount store like we do, you'll save even more!
