If you live near Trader Joes in the USA you can buy a box of Weetabix for $2.39! Other super markets sell them for as much as $3.99/$4.99. I'm from the UK and never have a problem finding this childhood favourite cereal.

When I saw Weetabix in my local grocery a few months ago, I just had to try it! How many breakfast foods do you know of, that get mentioned frequently in British novels and on BBC television programs?
Not surprisingly, the whole grain "biscuits" are delicious. They're nutritious, too: two biscuits with skim milk (no sugar required) provide 170 calories (10 from fat), 130mg sodium, 150mg potassium, 0.5g fat, 29g carbohydrates (including 4g dietary fiber and 2g sugar), 4g protein, no cholesterol, and a few vitamins and minerals. The biscuits themselves (24 to a package, or 12 servings) are light, crisp, and flaky.
According to the package, "Weetabix is great on its own or with milk". However the biscuits are very dry, so I can't imagine eating them plain. When you add low-fat milk (1% or 2%), the biscuits soak the milk up very quickly. If you don't eat your Weetabix right away, the biscuits will break apart and your morning cereal will be a little soggy.
But I like Weetabix, even when it's soggy, because of the delicate flavor and pleasant texture. Weetabix has now replaced my previous favorite adult fiber cereal, Post Shredded Wheat Original Cereal, Spoon Size, and has become an almost daily habit. In fact, I like Weetabix so well, I ordered a 2-1/2 month supply (also 72 servings, but packaged in smaller, single-insert boxes, making it more expensive per ounce; see Barbara's Bakery Weetabix, 7-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) from Amazon!

I normally import my Weetabix all the way from England (being from England myself, Weetabix was always a firm favorite of mine for breakfast), so was delighted when I saw Amazon were selling it at a much better price.
I had hoped that Weetabix is Weetabix, and taste wouldn't differ too much even if the product was made by a different company. This product is made by some company in America, and it did taste different to the brand I typically buy from England.
Unfortunately, I didn't like it. It had a strange flavor that just didn't appeal to me. I'm sure it's a preference thing though, and there will be plenty of people who like this just as much (or maybe even better than) the British alternative. I, however, will be going back to importing my Weetabix from England.

Want Weetabix Whole Grain Biscuit Cereal, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Discount?
This cereal is great! Whole grain and heart healthy. Plus its just fun to say youll be eating a wheat biscuit for breakfast. This stuff isnt just good with milk on it either, it is also good crumbled over yogurt, {and its less fattening then granola too.} The only down side is that it does get soggy quickly in milk, so if you like a crunch eat it one biscuit at a time. enjoy!
So, you're gluten free and you can't eat oats, and maybe there's a corn allergy and or incipient diabetes and all the gluten-free rice cereals have huge amounts of sugar, and what the heck can you eat for breakfast?
