I Suck At Cocoa Puffs

I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! Just kidding. Truth be told, I suck at Cocoa Puffs. In fact, I very rarely eat sugar cereals anymore. Part of that reason of course happens to be because I am married to a dietitian.

Yesterday, however, Karen and I did the unthinkable. We got ourselves... not one, but two boxes of Cocoa Puffs cereal. Of course, there was a reason behind it. This week at Shaw's, there was a Box Tops for Education promotion. Granted, our daughter (Briana) is only seventeen months and is not even close to being ready for school. Briana hasn't even learned how to share yet. Plus, she's very pushy. (So we donate the Box Tops.)

Regardless, the promotion stated that if you purchased 10 advertised items that were also part of the Box Tops for Education, there would be an additional discount taken off the price of each item. The catch was that you had to buy 10 items. Luckily for us, we happened to have coupons for Cocoa Puffs which were part of the promotion.

Anyway, thanks to Shaw's and their coupon doubling policy for coupons under $1, each box of Cocoa Puffs cereal ended up being free. Hooray! At the time, Karen rolled her eyes at me when she saw me cutting those sugar cereal coupons. Who's rolling their eyes now? Just kidding.

Needless to say, Karen is still not a big fan of sugar cereals. She is, however, more apt to purchase them especially when they are free. Yay for me!
