Today I went to Kroger and stocked up on Lender’s Frozen Bagels. The bagels are in the frozen food section (NOT the ones in the refrigerated section - there is a difference).

They are 10/$10 (usually $1.49 each). I bought two and used my 50c off 2 coupon, which they doubled. Each 6ct. package totaled 50c. I did several transactions and stocked my freezer full of bagels my kids love.

Don’t throw away those grocery store inserts! Tom Thumb has a store coupon in Sunday’s paper. Buy 3 boxes of certain Kelloggs cereals for $3 total. If it’s not posted on the shelves, or isn’t obvious when you get there, ask your store mgr. which cereals are in the deal. You may stack manufacturer coupons with the store coupon. To top it off, you’ll get a Catalina and you may go back for more cereal! A Catalina is printed with your receipt and it’s like cash. Just redeem it during your next transaction.

Buy 3-4 boxes, get a $3 Catalina
Buy 5-6 boxes, get a $6 Catalina
Buy 7 boxes, get a $10 Catalina

The Catalina and the store coupon make the cereal free. If you stack manufacturer coupons, you get an overage! Get paid to eat breakfast!

You must have a $10 purchase in order to do this deal. Take heart. Lucerne eggs are on sale (use your coupon from Sunday’s paper and they’re 99c/doz. Strawberries are buy one, get one(BOGO or B1G1). Jimmy Dean sausage is at a good price (blinky coupon machine right by it), Crunch ‘N Munch (with your Sunday coupon) is only 95c/box. Just bring your coupons and roll those Catalinas!!!

With all the cereal deals going on the last couple of weeks, I thought I’d post my one and only cereal recipe. It’s for yummy bran muffins. My family eats them any time of day, warm or cold. The batter keeps for up to six weeks (or up to the expiration date on the bottle of your buttermilk).

Mix in a very large bowl:
1 C Canola oil
4 Eggs, beaten
1 qt. Buttermilk
3 C Sugar

Then add to it:
5 C Flour
5 t Baking soda
2 t Salt
3 t Cinnamon

Finally add:
1 15oz. Box of bran or raisin bran (flakes) cereal

I’ve never tried any other types of cereal, but let me know if you do and it turns out well.

Fill baking cups 1/2 full with batter and bake at 400 for 15min.
