    Name brand cereal has gotten so expensive. I swapped to store brands and haven’t noticed a huge difference. Probably better to stop eating cereal in general.

      It’s all the same dumb shit. There’s like 3 factories that make all the shit.

        I can tell the difference in name brand cereal and HEB or malt-o-meals, but its all just carbs and sugar. So i dont need the highest quality frosted flakes or w/e.

      Not wrong, way too much sugar in it for it to be good for anyone’s consumption

      Price difference has always been huge as far as I remember. I don’t think I even have bought anything from Kellogg’s myself, cost always seemed too high.

      If I ever eat this stuff I prefer muesli over regular cereal. For me it tastes better and in general it should be also healthier since it contains real oats, nuts, dried fruit, sugar amount is not as high. That said I often take the one with chocolate pieces :)

      I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.

      It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.

      I switched to Hot Cereal ( red mill ten grain) as my regular cereal was getting so expensive that I could justify my breakfast costs. Oat Milk+Cereal =$$ While what I switched to isn’t the cheapest option, it keeps me going till lunch and I just add water, honey, and calcium powder to it. 👍
