What to Avoid: Cereal
If you’re looking at straight-up everyday prices on cereal, Aldi’s private-label Millville cereal is hard to beat. Millville’s Fruit Rounds, a knockoff of Kellogg’s Fruit Loops, sell for $1.29 for a 12.2-ounce box. Walmart sells a comparable box of real Fruit Loops for $2.58. But $2.58 is the everyday price. Most grocers run frequent sales on cereal. Plus, cereal manufacturers are generous with their percent-off and dollar-amount-off coupons. Check coupon websites or sign up with manufacturers on social media.
