Buy store brands.
Use to always get the name brand raisin bran until the small box went to $5.99.
Decided to try the store brand which was Great Value Extra raisins.
It was a big box, had a Ton of raisins and is better than the Kellogg’s brand!
Price? $1.99!
Same with Kroger, their cereals run around $1.19 to $1.99 and are excellent!
Same with all of the store branded products, much less expensive and usually better than the the name brands!
At nighttime I switched from ice cream to having a little bowl of cereal with 2% milk. Super cold is even better.
As for cheese why not make more velveeta cheese that can be stored on the shelves. Prices for velveeta cheese are ridiculous too which is why I refrain.
