I study food costs calories/dollar vitaminA/dollar protein/dollar, etc....

If your food is being advertised it isnt cheap. You can find lower cost alternatives that are almost always healthier. Fruit and veggies come to mind. 200-300 calories per dollar is cheaper than most snacks, fruits and veggies take moments to be washed and consumed.

The way I consider cereal and other carb loaded snacks as: "Empty carbs". And those 700 calories/dollar boxes is nothing like getting 3,000 calories per dollar on rice, oats, breads, or noodles.
