Dorset Cereals Granola

Hi all,
I have got a taste for Dorset Cereals Simply Oat Granola recently. The taste is spot on, but i am absolutely loathe to pay £3 for 550g when Mornflake et al do 1kg for £2.

I don't want to go splashing the cash willy nilly only to find I don't like the others as much. Can anyone recommend any cheaper 'taste-a-like' alternatives for simply oat Dorset Cereals granola? one where I can stomach the price as much as the cereal?

Thanks in advance.

    How do you feel about £2 for 550g (the current price at Sainsbury's)?
  • the Aldi specially for you is very nice. In boxes very similar to Dorset. Think it is £1.79. 2 sorts nutty and berry
  • Thanks Alanq, I have picked up a few of those boxes in the last few days as my "supply" while i find a replacement, but the offer won't last.

    Lanzarote, I'll definitely give that a go - sounds quite good!

    under 30p a day for breakfast cereal isn't too bad, if you really like it why not just get what you really like.

    Now £3 at Sainsbury's but £2 at ASDA and Ocado.

    You can do the Dorset Cereal quizzes to collect points. Set up an account on their website, do the spin to win prizes and/or points, then every few days you'll have enough points to print off £1 vouchers.

    My biggest problem is if you use a tablet these are not compatible with their website to claim the money off vouchers.

    I love their cereals and it's worth spending a little more for something you enjoy.

    Hmmm.

    In our local Fultons shop (think it's a bit like Heron, freezer stuff, some short-life jars, cans etc) they're selling Dorset Cereals Honey porridge sachets - I think it might be 10 for £1.

    I usually have Oat So Simple so I might give this a go.

    If you like the "honey" one with the nuts in then I can strongly recommend the Tesco finest version which is £1.95 a box I think. Aldi do a version as well which is about 10p cheaper than that, I think.

    As someone else said above you can get the £1 off vouchers through the website but beware that technically these are only valid on the "deluxe" versions of the cereals, not the standard (and slightly cheaper) ones.

  • We have a Fultons near us that has a few different boxes of Dorset Cereals in. We got a box of the Berry granola for £1.50
    Tempted to go back and stock up to be honest :)
