for cash-strapped families

Is Kellogg's cereal even cheap at all?? I'm not in the US so I could only imagine but I'd guess it's not, is it?

It's cheaper than good cereal, but more expensive than the identical store brand

And compared to dinner?

I'm asking because if I was "strapped for cash" I'd always go for cooking something rice or potato based myself, rather than buying already processed and packaged food, a most likely overpriced brand no less!

I think it’s partly that any home cooking is more difficult and time consuming than it. I have cheap and easy meals I do but they’re less feasible than cereal. Except dipping bread in pesto that’s dirt cheap and easy as fuck
