Oh the good old cereal bar...its humbleness in my household, rarely does the packet of rice crispies or cornflakes get touched, nor the croissants or toast. Just reach for the cereal bars, my kids do, and then run off to school with them clutched in their mitts. What a roaring trade, such a small insignificant thing in our lives, and there are so many. Nutrigrains, nutrigrain yoghurty twists, tracker bars, frosties bars, coco pops bars, muffin bars, elevenses bars, frusli bars, fruit and nut cereal bars, flapjack-in-disguise-with yoghurt bars, etc, etc, oh the list goes on. And you find them in almost everyshop. Upon my preparation for this magnificent review :-) i trawled around the shops and found that the quintessential snack was in the following stores: Woolworths, WH Smiths, Marks and Spencers food hall, Superdrug, The Whistle Stop, BB's cafe, Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco and its mini versions, Morrisons. Wilkinsons, Budgens, Waitrose, Somerfield and probably more but i had collapsed with exhaustion before i could find out where else they placed themselves. The prices, well the prices are just a different matter completely. Nutrigrain bars, are, on average, about 39-49p depending on the shop, where as trackers can be up to 60p, Nutrigrain elevenses up to 69p, Flapjacks up to £1.09 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and Fruslis up to 59p. They also come in multipacks, the nutrigrains (all varieties) and the fruslis, and a few others, and the prices generally range from around £1-2 per box/packet.
And as if that wasn't enough for the Cereal Bar People, they decide, Nutrgrain i will specify, to bring out mini bitesized versions, in little packets, aimed at kids' lunchboxes, i suppose. For around £1 for a multi pack of packets they are just little bites of yummyness- i am a great fan of Nutrigrains, as are my kids.
As for varieties well..... Nutrigrains come in orange, apple, strawberry, mixed berries and yoghurt, strawberry and yoghurt, chocolate, blueberry and cherry
. Alpen bars come in fruit and nut or yoghurt. Trackers come in nuts and rasisins or chocolate and raisins. Frosties, cocopops and rice krispies bars are just like bars of yoghurty milk stuff, sugar and the original cereal itself. Flapjack in disguise ones come in chocolate, yoghurt, fruity nutty and maybe even berry!
I think now, i have exhausted the subject of cereal bars and will be off to muse upon more things, like biscuits and T.V! Goodbye fellow cereal bar lovers......
