I just found this on Facebook, and thought maybe you could relate.

I’m hoping the gas prices stay down until Monday, so I can fill the tank for less than $35...
I think every single breakfast cereal in my house has to be thrown out, from oatmeal and grits to dry cereal. None of it is fresh, which just goes to show...the stuff doesn’t come in containers small enough for me to use up in a timely manner.
What a waste. And I’m even out of Instant Breakfast and on my last quart of milk. No wonder I’ve lost weight...there is no selection and no incentive to eat.
(I think I need one of those vacuum sealer machines so I can put the stuff in portions and seal them to store or freeze. I’ve always thought they might be a nice thing to have, but now I think how truly practical they are.)
Face... Have you tried putting it into a zip-loch bag after it's opened? (Typically a gallon zip-loch - minus the Nessie - and drop the cereal bag bagandall into it. 'Family sized' cereal boxes require a two gallon zip-loch, but I doubt you are buying it in that quantity... ;-)) The zip-loch seals tighter than re-wrapping the interior 'cellophane' bag, and putting the cereal in its bag into the baggie adds another layer of seal...
Of course, it still won't last forever but it will stay edible after opening for a longer period...
