My Cheap Cereals at Weis!

I ran up to Weis this past weekend for this for Ex-College Boy............


All the bags of Malt O Meal cereals were on clearance at Weis(PMITA)Markets for 50% off.
I also had a $1 Ibotta rebate offer(use up to 5 times)on any Malt O Meal cereal 18 oz. or over.

For I found 5 bags on clearance(4 were $1.74, 1 was $2.85-a really BIG bag!).
Total OOP should have been $9.80, then $5 cash back for a grand total of $4.80 for all 5 bags.

But the 2 S'mores type rang up full price at $3.49 even though they were clearly tagged on the shelf so my total was $13.30.
I told the perky gal at the self-checkout, she offered to take one of the bags off my bill(which would make both bags 50% off in essence)but then I said that wouldn't work for me as I couldn't get all 5 of my $1 Ibotta rebates, just 4.
So I paid the $9.80 at the self-checkout and went over to the customer service desk to get a refund on those 2 bags instead.  A bit more of a hassle but hey!, it meant I'd get all 5 Ibotta rebates so worth it.

The CS person handed me back $5.24 in cash.  I forgot that I'd get a full refund on the first bag I bought and then $1.74 back on the second bag that rang up incorrectly.
So now my OOP was $13.30-$5.24=$8.06 and I've already gotten the $5 Ibotta rebate so all 5 cost me $3.06

Nice. 8-)))

I am waiting for the MOM rebate to come back on my Ibotta list and I'll go get more if/when it doesn and there is still any clearance bags of cereal.  Even if I can't get the varieties Ex-College Boy wants I can get others and donate them to the local food bank.
Kid-type cereals is one of the most requested items, at least at our food bank it is.
