Cereal Extravaganza: I’m A Big Kid, Now!

On a trip to Walmart Supercenter, I went in for one thing and somehow left with a ton of kid's cereals.

I don’t wanna grow up!

Have you ever taken a responsible adult trip to the grocery store?  Then somehow it turns into an all-out child adventure down the cereal aisle, ooooing and awwing whilst grabbing every colorful sugary box of cereal available?  Good, me neither!

By now, you all know that I’m a kid trapped in adult form.  That being so, it’s no surprise that I do not know how to grocery shop.  Almost, at all.  Every attempt in my adulthood has always resulted in $60-100 worth of cereal and Lactaid milk.  I suppose that’s okay seeing that I’m single and have no children living with me, but I digress.

On this trip to Walmart, I intended to purchase sandwich fixings and other items needed to satisfy my hunger during weekly 8-hour day of volunteering.  I failed, miserably.  After trotting around Walmart Supercenter in Long Beach, CA for about a hour or so, I had a basket full of Pork jerky, Pepperidge Farm cookies, Pringles, sandwich meats, pepperjack string cheese, juice, and water.  How I missed the cereal aisle while packing the basket with these items is beyond me; but despite that I stumbled upon a interesting red box of Cap’n Crunch Christmas cereal and became astonished.  I thought aloud, “No!  I’m not getting this, they got me last time with Cinnamon Crunch.  As I noticed the long aisle of colorful and engaging boxes of cereal, I began throwing the most attractive ones into my shopping cart.  I have never had these variations of my childhood favorite cereals and I was eager to try them; so I did.

I still have cereal every morning for breakfast. However, I always try to get organic brands. Sometimes I treat myself with Life though. http://www.everychildisablessing.blogspot.com

I say go for it! ENJOY every bite of those sugary cereals. And you are so not alone. At my house, my kids love all the healthy stuff...the shredded wheat, the plain Cheerios....and I am the one going, "Don't you want to try the Brownie Bites or Reese's Puffs?" =)
