Hi All

Just doing my shopping list, other than All Bran and Weetabix Crunchy Bran (not sure I've seen this in Tesco) what other cereals can I have 42g of?

28g of cereal looks very meagre!

Ooooh, Weetabix Crunchy Bran is 42g for a HEXB? I'd not noticed that in my book ... thanks for that. Sorry I can't help with any more ideas.

The only place I can get the crunchy bran is Waitrose- Does anyone else stock it?

Asda stock it as I buy it for hubby to balance out the unhealthy consumption of coco pops he goes through

Bother bother bother.


Our local 99p shop had Weetabix bran flakes and I stocked up and had a big bowl for breakfast.

Then coming back here to tell you all to look in your cheapie shops I see its not the right thing. Tell me, she asks hoping for good news but not being hopeful, Bran Flakes and Crunchy Bran aren't the same thing are they?

sainsburys and asda sell crunchy bran...
I know you said 42g cereals but 28g of puffed wheat is absolutely masses....

Now thats an idea, puffed wheat. Not had that since I was a child, I usually have 2 weetabix or 28g shreddies or bite size shredded wheat. It is indeed a very small portion, I love cereal and could eat 4 times that amount. May think about puffed wheat, if you recon it looks a lot!

well my bowls are very deep (Buy John Lewis Polly's Pantry French Bowl, Spot & Stripe, Natural, Dia.15cm online at JohnLewis.com) these if you're interested in rough size and with milk it's almost to the top of the bowl (crunchy bran are somewhere round the middle)

yes very! its odd when i was younger I didn't like sugar puffs but think its because they're too sweet, tried PW a couple of weeks ago and really like them, can only find them in sainsburys (93p) and asda though

28 g of porridge made with water makes a nice big bowlful of cereal - you can add a muller light to it to make it really creamy or slice a banana with a drizzle of maple syrup (yum)

Sorry they are not the same thing and you can only have 28g of bran flakes for a HEB along with a ryvita

If anyone has a home bargains shop near them, they had puffed wheat in at the weekend and it was really cheap, about 70p a box I think, definately worth stocking up if you use it as a healthy B!
