What about old-fashioned oatmeal? Not the instant stuff, because that's pretty expensive per serving, but the Quaker Oats in a cannister deal? Takes a bit longer to make, but healthier and cheaper and you can actually toss in real fruit.

If you do still want breakfast cereals (and I assume at this point you've already looked at the store-brand types), for me, it's Trader Joe's all the way.

I'm not all that fond of oatmeal, but I have been thinking about getting some oats and other whole grains and making my own cereal. I supposed it's be like making my own granola. I'd just buy that but I have such severe allergies to nuts that I can't risk most what they sell. I've already died once from unexpectedly eating a nut and I don't want to press my luck.
