Hy-Vee Shrinking Cereal Boxes?
Here's a 100% breakfast blog post: is it just me, or are Hy-Vee's cereal boxes getting smaller? I'm looking at my Honey Oats & Flakes and Cocoa Peanut Butter cereal (you know, the one with the cute little alien corn puff in a flying saucer!). They look small. They say "13 oz." I could swear these boxes were 16 oz. just a couple months ago. Could my favorite out-of-town grocery store be pulling that old trick of keeping prices the same but giving us less? Perish the thought!

I hope the 3oz they took out was the air that was in the bag! :-)

All groceries are getting smaller or more expensive or both!
Some people won't give up their daily commute in their SUV; I won't give up my cereal for breakfast. Alas, we all have our hypocrisies and failings. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn my meager defense, I will note that I eat two bowls for breakfast, and a lot of the time, at least one of those bowls is the Valu-Time raisin bran or toasted oats in the big 32-oz. bag from Madison Sunshine. Keep that bulk cereal coming, Mr. Roemer!
