Honey Nut Cheerios
Life (regular flavor)
sometimes Honey Bunches of Oats w/ almonds, if I’m on a fiber binge.
As an aside, it annoys me that no grocery store seems to carry the family size boxes of Life cereal, only the tiny bachelor size which only amounts to 4-5 bowlfuls. :mad:
Generic cheerios and corn flakes, always. I also like Life, Cinnamon Chex, Honey and Nut Chex, and Apple-Cinnamon Cheerios. There’s currently a box each of generic rice krispies and bran flakes on the shelf, too.
I eat maybe two bowls of cereal a week, so that’s enough to last me a long time. My daughter eats cereal much more frequently than I do.
I like it with Half-and-Half, and I top the plain stuff with fruits from the produce department (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or chunks of fresh peach).
I also sprinkle on a couple of spoonfuls of golden sugar (never white).
My husband likes to have a big bowl of cereal as a snack, and I always have a row of boxes in the pantry. He likes various versions of Life, Chex and Raisin Bran. I love granola and cereals with lots of dried fruit and nuts. I also occasionally buy childhood favorites Lucky Charms and Froot Loops, and my husband will eat al of those too. In the fall I like the pumpkin ones, like Pumpkin O’s from Trader Joe’s. If I weren’t trying to lose weight I would eat cereal a lot more often than I do.
Years ago there was a cereal called Banana Nut Crunch, I loved that one but haven’t seen it in ages.
Cheerios is the must-have in this household, the original plain ones, which I eat with milk. The birds also get them from time to time. I’m actually more likely to eat them in the evening, as a pre-bedtime snack. My go-to breakfast for the past 45 years or so have been a cheese sandwich and a cup of tea, not cereal.
The other one I’m likely to have is rice krispies, about half of which wind up in homemade snack-bars.
My kids like Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds, so we always seem to have it. I’m not a big cereal person, but Frosted Mini wheats could often be found in my pantry.
I rarely eat cereal, and when I do, I stick with unsweetened varieties (generic or name brand) like rice krispies, corn chex, or corn flakes. My spousal unit, on the other hand, like the sweet stuff and he’ll add sweetener to them - like golden grahams, several cinnamon/sugar varieties, frosted stuff. ick He usually eats cereal in the evening, tho he’ll have it occasionally for breakfast.
But we don’t have any “must have” selections. He’ll ask me to vary the ones he likes, and I’ll pick up my preferred types when I get a weird urge for cereal. Or if I want to make rice krispy treats.
1 of either Cheerios, Corn Chex, shredded wheat, or puffed wheat.
Right now it’s shredded wheat. Been in there since January or February and 1/3 gone. The packs of biscuits are handy for long term storage. Once one is opened it goes into a zip-bag.
