Cheerios by the truckload
Do you have a toddler? If so, you're probably like me: you go through Cheerios by the truckload. I'm thinking it would be efficient to just keep an open trough of Cheerios in the kitchen, from which we -- my daughter, the dogs, and myself -- could just snack from all day. My daughter loves them. The dogs love them and it would save them a lot of pathetic watching, waiting, sneaking, and opportunistic pouncing if we just gave everyone -- canines and people alike -- open season on the snacks. And as for myself, sadly I have taken to snacking on and even lunching on Cheerios. With milk it's lunch. Without milk it's a crunchy snack. Hey, it's just easier to eat what your child eats. Is this the beginning of the slippery slope I've heard of, whereby the whole family is eating waffles 24/7 by the time the kid is five??!!

Cheerios
and
Cheezit!
We
go
through
a
ton
too!
Maybe
we
should
by
stocks
with
that
company.
Diane 2nd Apr
Wow,

I
am
learning
and
getting
addicted
to
couponing...
so
yesterday
I
bought
2
of
those
giant
boxes
of
cheerios
on
sale
minus
a
bunch
of
coupons
I
had,
I
think
it
was
like
$2
out
of
pocket
for
both.
I
already
had
3
boxes
at
home!
So
we'll
be
swimming
for
a
while.

My
kids
are
10
and
7...we
have
graduated
from
Cheerios
by
the
truckload,
to
Cheez
Its
by
the
truckload!
There
are
days
when
Cheez
its
are
my
lunch
and
dinner!!

Yes,
I'm
afraid
you
have
encountered
that
slope.
In
our
house,
it's
mini
pancakes
most
days,
and
only
occasionally
waffles.

Diane...My
2-year
old
has
taken
to
eating
waffles
that
are
STILL
FROZEN!
Ick.
He
can't
stand
to
wait
until
I
heat
them.
One
day,
he
was
carrying
on
and
wanting
his
waffle
when
I
was
trying
to
heat
it,
so
I
asked
if
he
wanted
it
cold.
He
did!
It's
a
good
liesson
in
"hot"
and
"cold."
:-)
Susan 29th Mar
Dianna,
yes
it
is
true,
after
a
while
you
start
fixing
food
for
yourself
that
looks
like
your
child's
meal.
I
lost
track
of
how
many
chicken
nugget,
catsup
and
canned
green
been
lunches
I've
had
with
my
son.
We
eat
a
truckload
of
the
plain
cheerios
around
here
too.
My
son
is
now
five.
He
gets
bored
of
them
every
once
in
a
while,
but
we
probably
go
through
a
giant
box
every
two
weeks.
Fran 29th Mar
Reminds
me
of
a
story
my
girlfriend
shared
about
her
first
day
back
to
work
(a
v.p.
level
job
at
a
fancy
investment
bank)
after
maternity
leave.
She
got
all
dolled
up,
felt
very
pulled
together,
briefcase
in
hand
etc.
when
riding
up
in
the
elevator,
she
caught
her
reflection
and
spotted
a
wet
cheerio
glued
to
her
neck!
rubia 29th Mar
My
children,
3
1/2
and
almost
2,
routinely
ask
for
Waffle
Sandwiches
--
PB&J
on
homemade
waffles.
Cheerios
are
much
more
portable.
LOL
Daisy 28th Mar
Reminds
me
of
the
Honey
Nut
Cheerios
commercials
where
the
entire
store
is
HNCs!
Do
you
buy
them
in
bulk?
Keep
your
eyes
open
for
deals
at
warehouse
stores
and
Amazon.com.
Yes,
Amazon
does
groceries.
Shelly 28th Mar
lol
..
thats
cute
hey
my
kids
big
cheerios
fans
especially
that
captain
krunch.
My
kids
just
eat
cereal
period.
I
read
that
cherrios
is
good
for
you
colesterol
and
good
in
fiber
and
all
kinds
of
stuff.
It;s
fun
yet
healthy
eating
:)
