My cereal escapade

So, I went to Smith's as I said I would, and here is what I found. They do indeed take all the coupons, so the deal I posted yesterday would work nicely. HOWEVER... I also found that people seemed to really like the $1.50 (before coupons) cereal. The shelves were very bare. I was not able to get the cocoa pebbles last night, and I was lucky to get 8 Honey Bunches of Oats before they were gone too. It was still a great deal, so I didn't want to pass it up.
Then... This morning, I figured that since the ad came out on Wednesday, they may have restocked. I headed over there around 10:00 in the morning, and the cereal shelves were very full. They did restock. I was quite happy. So I bought my 4 boxes of Cocoa Pebbles, paid $4, and got $3 back in a Catalina. So all in all, I spent $20, got 9 bags of whopper eggs, 12 boxes of cereal, 2 dozen eggs, and 2 packages of Red Vines (also on sale) and a $3 off my next purchase. I don't know the percentage savings. Sorry.
