We used to buy specific cereals, then our local chain jacked up the prices 100% and started running "BOGO" Buy One Get One Free sales once every 3 months for a week - so: either pay 100% markup, or stock up during the BOGO when it hits... we quit shopping there. We do drop in a couple of times a year since then and last time I browsed the cereal aisle, not only are the prices higher than they were after the doubling, but the size of the boxes is down by 50% and more as well... good riddance.
