[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how much SHOULD cereal cost? I just paid $4.99 for a box of Cheerios. That seemed okay.[/quote]

$3.00 or $3.50 tops.[/quote]

Based on what metric? Why should it be cheaper?

I’m sure you can get it for less at Costco or someplace like that.[/quote]

PP, if you are happy paying $5 a box for cereal, nobody is stopping you.  Enjoy.  For many people, that is too expensive.  As I noted earlier, most brand cereal goes on sale frequently enough that you can plan and not spend more than $3 per box.  And, as others have noted, you can generic cereal for even less. [/quote]

A large size box of cheerios at my grocery store is $4.99. It has, purportedly, 8 servings. The generic version is $1.59. A gallon of milk costs $4.19 but for 16 servings so lets say $2.10 for the amount of milk you need. A bowl of name brand cereal therefore costs .89 cents a serving. For generic it is .46 cents. Virtually no other food is as cheap as cereal. [/quote]
