Hello. My name is Jessica and I am a cereal snob.

That's right. I am a cereal snob, meaning, it's only brand name for me. I think it stems from trying a few 'off-brands' when I younger that just didn't compare in terms of taste. However, given the need to be within a budget I am attempting to explore some off brands and I have been surprised. I have tried a version of rice chex and frosted flakes and both, though not the same as the original, are a good enough compromise. And given that each box is about 2$ cheaper than the brand name I guess my taste buds can work through their issues. I am sure I will have weak moments while at the grocery store when I just can't resist real lucky charms but I think I am making steps in the right director to get over my addiction to brand name.
