Target has a great deal on Cheerios this week. It varies by area, but all the ads are advertising General Mills Cereal for 4 for $11, then an item is offered for free for buying for boxes. Where I live, the offered item is a gallon of milk. I've also heard of gift cards and orange juice as the free item. To make the deal even sweeter, match it with some coupons. Money Saving Mom has some links on her blog, check it out here. http://www.moneysavingmom.com/money_saving_mom/2008/09/target-cheerios.html
But what can you do with all those Cheerios? In my house we usually eat them in the traditional bowl, milk and spoon manner. But here's a few other ideas. . .
1. I've heard they make good targets for potty training. I never tried it myself, because I had visions of boxes being poured into the toilet . . .
2. Make marshmallow treats - using Cheerios instead of rice cereal.
3. Prince Charming grew up eating fried Cheerios as a snack. He'll put them in a pan with some butter, fry them up, and season them much like you would popcorn. Some of our favorites are garlic salt and seasoned salt. Warning: these are addicting!

Thanks for the deal tip. With three boys, cheerios fly though our house like fighter jets on a mission! Oops! Not in the food fight sort of way--but in the rapidly eaten sort of way!
