Breakfast Cereals - how to cut the cost and keep the taste?

t4mof

Our local Farmfoods sell branded cereal at about half the price of supermarkets. We were buying Kelloggs Krave at £1.29 recently and that's £2.49 in Tesco. The only problem we have is that they don't seem to always stock the same cereals but our Farmfoods is very small.

same rules in our house. I buy special k - tescos version, bran flakes - tesco version and weetabix... you guessed it - tesco version! All taste EXACTLY the same... even better in the case of the bran flakes. I usually pay around £1 per 500g box of each of those cereals. I'm not sure on the more 'yummy' cereals though.

Edit; Tesco standard and not value versions.

This is what my OH says about Shredded wheat too, he actually moans if i cant get to tesco and have to buy the real thing!

I see so many people post about Farm Foods - sadly, I don't have one anywhere near me. Nearest one is 26 miles away

Oh is it just me or does anyone else find tesco really expensive for cereal?

Do you drive Mazzy? My lot eat cereal by the box full and I got sick of paying for branded names when they just hog it down, doesn't even touch the sides lol so now I tend to go to Asda once in a while and stock up on cereal, it's £2 for 2 boxes own brand on alot of kids type cereals, coco pops, krisspies etc etc x
