How many packets of cereal have you got in your cupboard and what are they?

Currently we have

ALPEN (for me)
Oats so simple (for me)
Golden Nuggets (ds1)
Coco Pop Rocks (ds2)

I managed to get rid of a couple of old things last week so it is not too bad but there have been times when I have 7 or 8 packs on the go.

What do your children like as I think we stick to the same old thing.

DS like Cookie Crisp too which is very sugary imo but he is a fusspot!

We go through loads of cereal each month.

As a stock we get
