I'm betting with the coupons and having the store savings card one could save a lot.

Yeah, or when there's a $0.75 off Honey Nut Cheerios coupon but the identical-tasting/sized store brand right beside of it is already $1.25 less..just sit the coupon on the shelf for some other sucker.

Better yet, bagged cereal. 64 oz for the price of 16!
