First off, is it possible? Yes, if all the stars align just right and today they did!

They offered 20 cents off each gallon on gas when you bought four boxes of cereal.
Using 124 off a box of cereal coupons she purchased 124 boxes. Giant Eagle doubled that to give her off each box. The boxes were .50 each.
