I’ve been buying the Millville brand of Honey Nut Cheerios from Aldi for over a year now. They are cheaper and the kids like them. About two weeks ago, I was at Hy-Vee and remembered that we were running out of Honey Nut Cheerios, so I picked up their store brand that the kids used to eat all the time. When I gave Laura a bowl of them the next day, she took one bite and said, “I don’t like these Mommy. They aren’t the right kind.” She promptly refused to eat them. A couple of days later, I tried giving them to her again. I received the same basic response. Last week, Laura took a different tactic and mentioned to Daddy that she didn’t like them and could he please have Mommy buy the “right” kind from Aldi. I gave up. I drove to Aldi and bought a box of the stupid things. I came home and threw away the Hy-Vee brand. Laura is now happy and will eat her Honey Nut Cheerios. Lesson for me…never substitute cereal AGAIN!
