How can I save money on expensive cereal for my kids?

The Cereal Box Secret

Don't spend so much money on cereal for your children just because they want the name-brand, more expensive stuff. Instead, keep the boxes from the expensive cereals, and start filling them with store-brand cereal. As long as the box looks right, your kids probably won't be able to tell the difference.

I love the idea! It's a great way to save money and let your kids have what they want. If I start this early enough, she won't even realise I am sneaky until her teenage years :)
