Can't find plain bite-sized store-brand shredded wheat cereal

[debodun]

I am trying to cut down on sugar where I can. The local supermarket has their own brand of bite-sized, but they are frosted. They do have brand-name buscuits, but cost twice as much as the store-brand. I even looked in Wal-Mart and it's the same situation. Come to think of it, I don't even see the old-fahioned large busicuits anymore, either. I even sent a message to the store and the reply was that they do not offer store-brand, plain, bite-sized shredded wheat at this time. You'd think with people looking for healthier options these days, they would have plain biscuits.

My local markets keep cutting back on the variety of un-sweetened dry cereal too. You'd think they would be stocking more with the obesity and diabetes issues we have.

Chex honey and nut are bite sized and not frosted. It’s not shredded wheat but you night want to try it.

I never understood how people could eat that stuff. Tried it once decades ago and I felt like I was eating dry straw.

Have you tried Target by the Post brand, D?

After milk poured over them they soften up...I always mix em with another cereal and fruit for a better variety....

I love Shredded Wheat with hot milk and brown sugar. We have the bite-size too. I also like Weetabix; it is whole grain but I eat it the same way. What about oatmeal?

For some reason I love those things LOL it’s strange you can’t find them you’re talking about the shredded wheat minis right?

The local Aldi and Wegman's have house brands of plain bite-size mini wheat cereal.

If you are having trouble adjusting to life without sugar try mixing a box of sweetened cereal with a box of unsweetened cereal gradually reducing the size of the sweetened portion. I did that years ago with Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios with good results.

Another way to reduce the carbs/sugar is to switch from cow's milk to unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk.

Good luck!

I can't find puffed rice in the store brand either. They use to sell big bags of it.

You're not supposed to eat them dry. They are not too bad if you let the biscuits soak in milk for about 10 minutes.

Yes, the bite-sized biscuits and not frosted.

I had occasion to be near Wal-Mart yesterday, so I stopped and checked there. I bought two boxes of bite-sized biscuits, but they were Post brand. One box was traditional shredded wheat and the other was a combo of wheat and bran. At least both were not frosted.

Yeah, I was force fed that stuff as a kid.

Grew up
Went with wheat chex
Never looked back

I love the sugary part but the whole wheat part takes forever to pass through the digestive system and produces associated discomfort etc.
