    Cereal bowls come with dinner sets, surely you have one? They're all pretty much the same size.



    I'd call the dishes with dinner services, dessert bowls and they
    do vary a lot. The ones with a Sainsbury set, which I recently bought as a gift, are twice the size of the dishes with my own Staffordshire Tableware set, so asking their size is like asking how long a piece of string is.

    Those are the deeper ones, like I bought from Sainsburys, but mine from four (different brand ) services have half the capacity. The ones in the company's photo only show the top part of the bowl,so it's difficult to judge.

    Have you looked in the baking aisle of your local supermarkets? I tried to buy these online and the price was just ridiculous. Eventually found them in sainsbury baking a section. Less than two quid if I remember.

    I'll have look in Sainsburys, as we don't have a Waitrose and Morrisons no longer sell freeze dried.


    The online ones do look a bargain though, as at 7g for £2, 100g would cost over £28.

    The supermarket ones are much more expensive at £2 for just 7g. Online they are £6.79 for 100g (plus £2.99 postage, but pro rata this decreases with multiple buys, as does the item price).

    At least I don't have disgusting sugar coated cereals.

    Special K is just as bad!

    why don't you just buy it and see? if you had been emailing my business asking dimensions etc, cereal bowls this and that I would have long ignored you, you are what is classed as a difficult customer in the business world my friend.

    Why does it matter how big it is? it will be reducing In size anyway because you are eating it!

    I have to agree with this.

    To help me decide, I need to be able picture what 100g looks like. I have contacted the company to ask about the volume, but have just been told that a 15cm cube would be sufficient to store a pack
    The size is small compared to a box of cereal (which presumably you won't be buying) so what does it matter? This amount of consideration over a relatively small spend is disproportionate.
