Cereal Bonanza

In the last couple of weeks, I have bought 21 boxes of Kellog's Cereal for $.60 each. Albertson's had them on sale for $1.59 per box. I had $1 off coupons for each box of cereal that I bought, making them .60 each.

For those of you who ask the question, is couponing really worth it? Let me answer that for you in math form.

21 x .60 = $12.60 I had a coupon for every box of cereal.
Now, lets suppose I didn't have any coupons, but I still bought them at the store sale price which was $1.59 per box. 21 x $1.59 = $33.39. And lets take it a step further, and suppose that I bought the cereal at the normal price of $3.99 (even though some of them were $4.85 a box, I'll use $3.99 as an average price). 21 x $3.99 = $83.79.

So you can see the difference
$12.60/$33.39/$83.79

$12.00 would get me 3 boxes of cereal at the regular price.

Are coupons worth it? In my opinion-YOU BET THEY ARE!
