Kaizen Chaos

While shopping at our local Jewel Osco the other day I noticed they had an unadvertised sale - Buy One Get One Free on Quaker Simple Harvest, a new kind of hot multigrain cereal. I decided to give it a whirl since I’m supposed to be watching my cholesterol. And just how many 20-somethings do you know that has to do that I ask you??? Let me tell ya, it can be a pain finding good (read: tasty) food that helps reduce your cholesterol levels and I’ve just found my new favorite!! Quaker Simple Harvest comes in three flavors: Apple Cinnamon (not tested yet), Vanilla Almonds & Honey (YUM!) and Maple Brown Sugar with Pecans (YUM!)

Wait…it gets better!

Since I liked the hot cereal so much I decided to see if there were any online coupons. I did a google search and found a listing on eBay. $0.90 plus $0.41 shipping for nine $1.00 off coupons. SO…one of those for each box of BOGO = even more savings!!! All in all I got 6 boxes for a whopping $8.07!!! And if you break it down even further, $0.17 per serving!! (Or $0.20 when you factor in the cost of the coupons.) Yes, apparently I am one of those crazy nuts who gets all psyched over saving a few bucks at the grocery store. Oh well. Simple pleasures, right?
