General Mills Cereal

Sheila P-Burg — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 18:59:31 GMT

A friend was telling me that General Mills was coming out with a new cereal and told me to check out the price. I am not a cereal eater but I got curious since she wouldn't tell me the price.

The cereal is called "Morning Summit". So far in my area it is only available at Walmart.

The price: $26.27 for a 38 ounce box

I checked Amazon and Amazon will receive it March 5 and will be selling it for $34.15 a 38 ounce box.

Another reason for me to not eat cereal.

Perhaps the ingredients justifies the price.

What's in it?

The very first "status" cereal. I don't see anything special about it that couldn't be purchased for less at WF even.

So...it's Museli? Can easily get that in bulk. Must be an awfully amazing prize in the bottom of the Summit box.

No way those ingredients equal that price(s), in my mind.

Wait - what?????

Is it made of precious gems?

If I eat it, will it BRING BACK MY YOUTH??? I mean, c'mon!

I don't want 38oz of one type of cereal anyway....

I love cereal (dry as a snack, go to is Cheerios or Wheatabix) but over $5.00/box is not on my grocery list let alone one co$ting THAT MUCH!!!

Yikes!

And I thought Fiber One cereal - also from General Mills - was expensive! I don't know what makes this new cereal so precious but, as a rule, breakfast cereals are very cheap to make and should be cheap to buy as well.

Perhaps a 4 or 5 carat Diamonique halo ring....

Probably this cereal won't even be around in a year or so. If so, maybe

only on line to buy because who in the heck is going to pay such a

steep price for this cereal?

I will stick with my Cheerios and use my coupons on them too.

I know, right?

Not unless it makes all of my wrinkles disappear with the first bowl!

So it's a box of almonds (hence the $$), with cereal and other stuff added.

Serving size of 2/3 cup is too big of a portion of that combination. Nutrition and ingredients panel reads more like a pricy treat that is served in a 1oz portion cup, and eaten in 60 seconds.

Yeah....I know people who will buy this.

Designer cereal? Made me wonder if it was really sold from like Sundance Catalogue or Neiman Marcus. I will stick with Wheaties or All Bran.

Aside from the ridiculous price--320 calories and 15!!!!! grams of fat???!!! Are they kidding??? I wouldn't eat it if it were free.

I'll stick to multi-grain Cheerios which I got on"special" today for $1.99. Wheaties and Total here are usually $4.99--still too expensive--and seldom on sale. And I do love cereal.

Every so often I indulge in some cereal. It is always Post's " Great Grains with pecans." You can get it with raisins or dried cranberries, but I prefer just the added nuts. The specs are pretty good for cereal, and the 3/4 cup with some unsweetened almond milk is quite satisfying, and no where near as expensive as the cereal mentioned in the OP.

Plus at that price, it should at least be non-GMO.
