For weightwatchers, Country Barn Special Flakes are slightly higher in calories than Kelloggs, but only by 2cals, at 175cal per 30g bowl and have 0.3g more fat as well, so not too bad as a cheap, yet healthy breakfast.

If you love Kelloggs Special K, but find them too expensive to buy regularly then these Special Flakes could be what you are looking for. I love Special K! Normally, they are my cereal of choice, but right now money is tight and I just cannot afford to buy them at the price Kelloggs are asking.
