Cereal Taste Test 2013

I seriously don't know where the year went since our last post. Much has certainly transpired. I guess we were so busy living the craziness that we didn't have time to blog about it. Perhaps some day we will blog about moving, selling our house, resigning jobs, starting in new schools and jobs and various other "are you crazy?" events that we have experienced lately. Honestly, it is all too overwhelming to think about, let alone blog about. So, for now just know we are well. Greg is once again away for school, his last session...praise the Lord!
The boys and I sat down for a cereal taste test and got a laugh when we realized that was the theme of our last post. Must be the time of year companies release new cereals, who knew?! And it means January must be a really slow month with not much to do, lol.
Companies usually make great coupons available when new products are released and this time was no exception. All the General Mills cereals we tested were free after sale and coupon. The Kellogg's were between .60-1.00 a box.
Because inquiring taste buds want to know, here are the results from our new cereal taste test...again we rated them on a scale of 1-10, 10 being best.


Scooby Doo scored 4, 5, 9
Cinnamon Jacks scored 6, 7, 7
Mini Wheats Crunch scored 4, 5, 6
Fiber One Chocolate scored 6, 9, 9
Honey Nut Cheerios Medley scored 7, 7, 9
Peanut Butter Toast Crunch scored 7, 7, 9

Fiber One wins this round. To be fair, I am not really a big cereal fan. The mood has to strike just right for me to eat cereal but the boys practically live on the stuff so they balance me out. My personal fav was the new Honey Nut Cheerios but you can tell by the scores that none of them was a complete bust. That is a good thing since we have a big stash of free/cheap cereal that will be getting us through the winter.
Now that your life is complete with the aforementioned information, we promise to post again before the next release of new cereals hits the store shelves.
