I’d be willing to wager it’s mostly due to the “free” breakfasts handed out at schools.

GEE....overpriced cereal product couldn’t be the problem...could it?

Uh? Are they unionized?

Unless you have food stamps you get a bargain on the cereal. I buy the Weis brand it is much cheaper and taste the same.

[Dixie Yooper]

I try to keep at or below 12 cents/ounce for name brand.

Their hyper processed products are too expensive and full of sugar and additives. Yes, they are filling consumer demand but they have some kids hooked their all franken-foods . Adults too

Consumer choice is good and it seems like consumers are finding Kellogg substitutes

Cold cereal and orange juice. Two things I just never got. They both taste nasty.

Of course the fedgov tells us the cost of living is going up at a 1% rate LOL.

Plus oatmeal is a whole lot healthier IMO.

Absolutely. Boxed cereal like Kelloggs is highly processed with chemicals, extruded at high temperatures that wipe out any nutritional value in the original grains. My wife nixed breakfast cereals years ago, in favor of oatmeal and fresh fruit (berries of all kinds and bananas).

The public has switched to General Mills, since they jumped on ghe pro-gay bandwagon

Coco Poofs?

over processed carbohydrates that rot your teeth.

Frequent brushing and flossing helps prevent that......as do regular dental checkups.

This is good. Expand into other things, kelloggs. Breakfast cereals are killing us. Grains, most especially processed grains, give us diabetes and obesity.

We have an Aldi nearby but I haven’t been there - good prices?

[ToastedHead]

It was over when they started displaying “cost per flake” on the shelf.

[workerbee]

My kids aren’t big fans of cold cereal. They prefer pancakes or eggs for breakfast, sometimes oatmeal. Sometimes they’ll just have a sandwich, or a graham cracker or apple with peanut butter. For the cost, there are a lot better options.

[dennisw]

Aldi’s is worth going to.

[ToastedHead]

“Cold cereal and orange juice. Two things I just never got. They both taste nasty.”

You should try them separate.

[trisham]

I can’t imagine eating that garbage.

[Conservative4Ever]

A box of oatmeal is still a pretty good deal.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Do I need to take my own bags?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Haha
