Fru-Gal Update April 8

I had a couple of mistakes in Thursday column. One was the Kellogg cereal rebate- you need to buy ten boxes instead of five. What I was thinking is you can do this rebate five times. It still is a great way to combine coupons along with rebate for close to free cereal. Also, I was informed by Three Chimney Farm that the tours are $10 per person with the admission money going to charity. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I guess I need to get some more sleep.
