Tesco Frost flakes better than Frosties!

I'm sure there's somewhere I should have put this, although I couldn't find it...

Tesco Frosted flakes are bigger and don't go soggy as quick as Frosties, plus they're only £1.12 for 500g! I made the discovery last night :)

so....What other cereals are better in the cheaper version? So far we've only tried Tesco weetabix and the frosted flakes but are others just as good?

I fancy a change but can't afford to buy boxes of the Tesco ranges if they turn out to be too sugary/salty or just cardboardy, yet I can't afford the real ranges!

    I'm not sure if they're better but they are no worse - Tesco's Rice Snaps are 99p at the moment (normally £1.11 for 440g) where as "proper" Rice Crispies are about £2 for 500g

    thank you! also I just saw a thread on tesco value good/bad items- this can be merged there if a board guide wants to? although this is more about the standard range- not the blue stripey version.

    lilith1980- I'll give the rice snaps a go tomorrow- we consume a 500g box in around 4 days, 8 breakfasts and a couple of snacks- it disappears so quickly, at £2+ per box it gets expensive!

    My kids tell me that Sainsburys ricepops and cocopops are much better than the real thing. :D

    They all taste like the work of the devil to me :confused:

    i dont think frosties go soggy, and my bowl is deep with loads of milk. Im not the quickest of eaters either. I cant say ive tasted better than frosties but i will only buy them when they are on offer so they end up cheap enough for me anyway.
