It pays to read the ingredients on product labels. My daughter was looking for a breakfast cereal with no sugar in it, and we found out quickly that you’re not going to find any such thing in the cereal aisle. Over in the health food section, all the cold cereals listed an ingredient called “organic dehydrated cane syrup.” Which is a clever euphemism for “sugar.”
Rob Cockerham has been reading ingredients as well, and wants to warn you about the high price of water. When you grab the lesser-price bottle of something, is it really a bargain, or are you paying for half a bottle of water? He goes through several products, like “pre-diluted” antifreeze. Not all of them are honest enough to be labeled “pre-diluted.”

Sadly, there are no stores that stock that in this small town. I told my kids about such a cereal, and they didn't believe me. Do they still wrap them each in paper?

Yes, shredded wheat, the large biscuit type, not the mini frosted ones.

Yeah, she ended up making oatmeal and grits, which is a great idea if you ask me.

Shredded Wheat has no added sugar. Also cereals that need to be cooked like oatmeal are sugar free.
