A reader has asked what is the cheapest breakfast cereal, so we got our calculators out and come up with some answers. We took six of the most common breakfast cereals and worked out the cost per 100 grams. We used Woolworths as our “sample store” and took their house brand product (called Home Brand) because this was the cheapest way to buy.
Brand: Home Brand Weight (g) Cost $ per 100g
Rolled oats 750 $2.25 $0.30
Cornflakes 500 $2.35 $0.47
Muesli traditional 900 $4.49 $0.50
Wheat biscuits 750 $3.98 $0.53
Rice bubbles 600 $3.79 $0.63
Bran & sultana 500 $4.24 $0.85
Rolled oats was by far the cheapest!
