Seriously, $2-4 or even $5 for a box that doesn't even have a pound of flavored corn, wheat or oats. What I'm guessing are the most plentiful grains in the US.
I'll stick to eggs. ![]() |

$4 for something you get about what..... 10 servings out of puts it at about .40 per serving. How is that a bad value? There's more to the cost than just the product. Packaging, transport......... |

Actually, I think that boutique bottled water is the biggest scam.
Morons spending ridiculous amounts of money on stuff that covers 75% of the world. |

You are free to make your own.
Grow the grain/corn/rice. Mill it. Flavor it. Process it into flakes. Package it. Or you could just buy oatmeal. Which is better for you anyway. |

I just eat my store brand corn flakes. A lot of times I find them on sale for a dollar.

I only buy cereal when it's on sale. I don't pay more than $2.00-2.50 a box for it.

I like my steel rolled oats cooked in apple juice for a breakfast cereal.

Cereal sucks anyway.
A proper breakfast is last night's leftovers. Spaggetti and meatballs, steak and veggies, chinese carryour...all taste better at 5:30. ![]() Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

When you reach your 50's, you begin to view boxed cereal (raisin bran, grape nuts, kashi, ezekiel, etc.. ) as a "medicinal investment" as part of your regimen to keep things... ummm.... regulated.

I know a guy that is in local management at the coke plant. Bottled water is by far their highest profit per investment product. They were already purifying water for their products and bottling it their and that made for a cheap transition, too. It doesn't "expire" either. |

My wife goes through cereal like mad to manage her low blood sugars. I make sure she buys the stuff that I don't like or else I'd eat it all myself. I eat an apple and two little halos for breakfast every day.

Hmmm, I never noticed that before. I'm gonna start pointing that out to a few people I know. But, yes, IMO boxed cereal is a rip-off. Cheers! -JC |

I like Grape Nuts
But I usually fry an egg and have a cracker or two or four with it. |

You might want to consider including anything "gluten free" into the scam-mix, too.........

I'm actually eating a bowl of fried wal-mart brand cheerios right now.

If you pay full price for cereal then yes, its not a terribly good deal. I suppose I'll have to give you the same advice I give my children. Look for cereal thats on sale. Compare the price per ounce (Listed in very small print in the lower right on most price tags).
You can find good cereal on sale at prices that often match the generic cheap shit cereal. Which makes it a very good value. |

Most of that shit comes from municipal water supplies anyway. This is a real thing, but every time I say this people think I'm stupid or crazy. And yes most of it is literally city tap water. Seriously, either water is water or it isn't, theirs isn't some super secret water from the Long Lost Frozen Caverns of the Alps that's somehow a different form of H2O. |

Four eggs, black coffee, and a beer.
Gets your day started right. |

Malt-O-Meal for the win........only problem is you gotta buy a hay bale sized bag of the stuff, but it's about 1/3 the price of the regular choices.
