Smiths

There are not many deals this week that looked awesome to me, besides the great prices for turkey AND this sweet cereal deal. Smith's has a promotion on General Mills cereal, buy 4 save $4. With the promotion the price for each box is $1.49, BUT last week in our Sunday newspaper we got a supplemental coupon book from General Mills. There is a $1/2 boxes GM cereal coupon! You can also print more of the same coupon at coupons.com . Normally these cereals are between $3-$4 each, so $1 a box is a great deal! Good luck! This sale ends Tuesday.
