I hated eating really poor when we were at my mom's house. It was basically spaghetti, sauce, and a caesar salad (as in lettuce with dressing) every night, because that was all we could afford. Surprisingly, I did begin to lose weight on this. BUT. I felt increasingly sluggish, and had more and more trouble with how my body FELT. So...really, in the end, the weightloss wasn't important.
Have you thought about looking into Muesli? It's a different type of cereal, and you can even make it yourself if you have the right ingredients. Brian does Raw Oatmeal (with water, but not milk) for breakfasts when we can't get a smoothie together. Though, this is more for when you're deciding to make cereal part of the Daily Diet, rather than just cheapest eats.
I've SEEN muesli, but never really knew what it was except a Jewish food? It's mentioned on TV and such sometimes, and it's been in some books I've read. Does it taste good? Tbh, I really like cereals like Special K and Honey Bunches of Oats :P Cereal is cheap, but Steve just really, really prefers it over a lot of other meals, especially when he's feeling lazy.
I've only made oatmeal a handful of times with milk - what about soy milk? I just noticed it seems to make you feel full longer versus with water.
It's not a Jewish food. Jews may have adopted it at some point into their cuisine, but it definitely didn't start there (I know this for fact mostly because I didn't know what muesli WAS, and I know pretty much every quintessential Jewish food--that is, I've never been surprised to learn any new food, since I just accepted foods for fact as a child, and I haven't encountered any new ones since--being half Jewish myself). I DO know that it IS European in origin--not French, English, or German though. I'm not sure where it's from, actually

It sounds yummy! I'm going to start going to more health food stores once we move vs just Cub (a week away!), so I can get ahold of better food stuffs. I saw a packaged cereal version of muesli at the store the other day, in the main cereal aisle, and wondered if it truly was what it said it was.
The only reason we haven't begun buying almond milk yet is because it comes in smaller packaging and is gone in like a day :/ But my parents have also been encouraging to purchasing of such, so I'm sure I'll move toward it in the future!
