HEB Report: Stock Up on Cereal and Yogurt


My sister in law Penny called me today with a sweet deal at HEB!  (You can find more of her awesome deals over at Freeky Deals!)

Earlier this week I reported you could buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and get Yoplait Go-Gurt Yogurt Snack FREE with in store coupon.

She reports the Cinnamon Toast Crunch is on sale for $1.25.  That means you can get a box of cereal and go-gurts for $1.25!  The in store coupons are hanging with the cereal.

* Along with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix is also included with the Cocoa Puffs ($1.25) sale I reported.  This is a great week to stock up on cereal.
