I love most cereals but one of my favorites is Fruity Cheerios.
Cereal has become our household “sweet”. Its better than a ton of candy right?? : )
my fave is golden grahams! And I already to subscribe to your feed :)
I love trix but there for kids
My favorite is the classic Cheerios!
Love the General Mills cereral Cheerios. The “plain Jane” ones without any extra flavoring added. It is delicious as a morning cereal, or as a snack. When the kids & grandkids were little I would throw a baggie full of Cheerios in the diaper bag for them to snack on. Now they all eat Cheerios at home instead of all those sugar laden cereals.
I follow your blog all the time. Thanks for all the money you have helped me save!! Funny thing, I saw how Trix was on sale for $1.88 at Schnucks. Told my husband and he was sooo excited. lol Never realized that he loves Trix! He said, finally some cereal for me! ha ha
Thanks again!!

I used to eat Cap’n Crunch like it was going out of style but these days I like the healthier cereals with more fiber.

Peanut Butter Captin Crunch is my favorite.
I am so excited to hear that they are lowering sugar in their cereals. I have struggled with this because I want my children to eat healthier cereal, but the sugared stuff I can often get for $1.00/box. It is so hard to pass up a great deal and buy healthier stuff for $3.00-$4.00 a box. Thanks for passing this on.
