Fiber One Complete Pancake Mix - a review

Just wanted to share. This Jewel sale was the first time I purchased the Fiber One Complete Pancake Mix. While I think the box is a little on the small side (28.3 oz) and a little pricey for my taste at a retail price of $3.65 a box, the sale at Jewel that ends today (it is part of the 3/$10 group), combined with the $.60 coupon in the 1/4 SS, makes the price much more reasonable and the taste is REALLY good - a lot like the pancakes my mom made when I was a child. Since it is a complete mix, it is a good candidate for 3 month food storage (expiration dates on my boxes are AUG '09). Assuming you are starting with 3 - $5 catalinas and no other coupons and this is the only item you are buying, 9 boxes will get you to your $30 threshold (you could also do 8 and a $1.50 filler like the Fuze drink or Puffs) by using the $15 in catalinas you already have, these 9 boxes will cost you $1.66 each. If you happen to have the $.60 coupons, they will drop to $1.06 each. The sale lasts till midnight.

We wanted to buy some of these when we went to Jewel, but they were out. They will do rain checks for the sale price if they don't have them. I'm going to go back tonight after school to see if they have any. Glad to hear they are good!
