Where to buy the cheapest Baby cereals?

Kitty Boo boo,,I have tried the Bebevita cereals also,but they have milk included and it takes A LOT of cereal for it to be thick.
I think I only made about 5 meals out of 1 pack. (but my toddler does eat quite a lot)

I did find a good solution now.

I use an empty can of cereal (Nestle Cerelac comes in cans) and I fill it half up with (Tesco's own brand of) Readybrek and the other half his other preferred cereal. And then I shake it up,so it's all nice and mixed up.

This way he does eat it He is still rejecting 'pure' Readybrek,but but he doesn't mind it like this obviously.

This should cut my cereal bill in half

I don't know if this would work but have you tried making your own? I have never bought baby cereals but just use porridge oats and make it up with milk and add dried apricots or prunes or whatever else I have lying about.

I do this too, so much cheaper and you know whats in it. These 'baby' cereals = RIP OFF imho.

The reason people use baby cereal is that it's enriched with iron, which at the time of weaning the stores in babies bodies begin to deplete. Porridge oats are not enriched. And before 6 months gluten should be avoided. I'm not sure, but at one time you used to be able to buy from hipp website at a good deal.

The OP mentions 10 month plus cereal so porridge is fine at this stage too. If you add dried fruits (chopped dates, apricots etc) or fresh fruits (eg pear, apple, plum, mango) and other things to the porridge (milk, sometimes cream) it is a great brekkie.
