Because these deals are somewhat complex, I've created a separate post for them. After all, the reason I created this blog is to help people learn. Sometimes I feel like I'm just typing out the deals but not necessarily in a way that someone who's never couponed before would understand. So I hope this helps!
Cereal is one of the EASIEST things to get for free at Giant Eagle. General Mills releases coupons all the time. You can find these on www.coupons.com or www.bettycrocker.com/coupons pretty regularly. Giant Eagle frequently puts cereal on sale - I swear General Mills on sale at least twice a month, and Kellogg's usually once or twice.
Kellogg's puts out less coupons than General Mills (in my opinion), but that doesn't mean Kellogg's coupons are hard to get. I'll follow up this post with one describing Kellogg's Family Rewards program. It's free to sign up, and you can earn points pretty easily. There are codes on each Kelloggs, Keebler, Morningstar, Townhouse, etc. product that you buy. You can enter these codes onto the website to earn rewards points. When you earn rewards points, you can cash them in for coupons! For each coupon, you can print it twice. So twice the coupons! Kellogg's Family Rewards also has coupons that anyone can print, without using KFR points!
Something that is very important. Not all General Mills and Kellogg's cereals will be included in this sale. Pay close attention to the tag and the size of the box. Make sure you're picking up the ones labeled for the sale, and not the huge boxes that are $4 apiece that aren't included!
Now, on to the deals...
KELLOGG'S: Buy any 4 participating cereals (4 for $10), get $4 off Milk
This is an "instant savings" deal. When the register sees that you've purchased the 4 qualifying cereals, it should automatically deduct $4 from your bill. That being said, you should still purchase milk and do the deal properly, as opposed to some who may just use this as an opportunity to get $4 off their bill, but not purchase the required milk. Don't be one of those people! Couponing properly is essential to stores giving us great deals in the future!
Cereals that are included:
Apple Jacks
Corn Pops
Mini Wheats
Frosted Flakes
Crunchy Nut
Krave
Froot Loops
Raisin Brand (Certain varieties)

$1/3 Special K Printable Coupon
I'm assuming most of you don't have the KFR coupons, so let's assume you have 2 $1/2 coupons. That's the next best thing, and they're easily obtainable!
Purchase: 4 cereals of your choice.
Use: (2) $1/2 coupons (can be any of the above, just make sure your cereals match the coupon)
= $8 for 4 cereals, plus $4 off milk! Assuming you were buying milk anyways, that's like $1 per box!
For those of you that do have the KFR points to spare, I suggest doing it this way.
Use 2 $.75/1 coupons (Only purchase 1 with your points. This should be 500 points. You can get 2 prints from each). They'll double to $1.50 off.
Use 2 $1.50/1 coupons. Again, only purchase 1 with your points. This coupon is 1,000 points. You can print 2.
= $10 - $6 in coupons = $4 total, PLUS $4 off milk! That's like paying for the milk, and getting the cereal for FREE!!
GENERAL MILLS: 1 Box FREE When You Buy 4 = 5 for $8This is another "instant saving" deal. Usually at Giant Eagle, you would be able to use 5 coupons on this deal, because the value of the cereal ($2) will come off instantly.

According to LadySavings (and I agree), the best deal is to do the following:
Buy 3 Trix an 2 Multi-Grain Cheerios ($8 total)
Use (2) $.85/1 Trix coupons (link above)
Use (1) $.75/1 Trix coupons (link above)
Use (2) $.75/1 Multi Grain Cheerios coupons (link above)
These coupons will all double.
= $8 - $1.70 - $1.70 - $1.50 - $1.50 - $1.50 = Just .10 for 5 boxes!
