I caught this during one of the really low-priced deals. I am honestly not a big cereal person, but this stuff is so good that it’s my go-to when I’m feeling a sweets craving coming on. Instead of having a bowl of ice cream for desert, I’ll have some honey bunches of oats. It can’t be THAT much better for me but I figure the oats instead of sugar have to do some good!
The price was great, and the cereal was great. It wasn’t out of date like S&S items can sometimes be, and the expire date was reasonable enough to let me eat it all up in time. I’d definitely recommend and will buy again when the price is right; not much else to say about it :).

This is not a review on the product itself, just the batch we received from Amazon. We have been buying Honey Bunches of Oats for years and love it. This is the first time I placed an order with Amazon hoping to save a little. For whatever reason, all five boxes we ordered had unprocessed pieces of corn kernels; hard, be-careful-not-to-break-your-tooth-on-it corn kernels. It was so bad we contacted Post and requested replacement. My guess is there are more boxes out there with the same issues, and as a bit of a cynic I have hard time believing Amazon wasn’t aware of this. Shame on you Amazon for letting this slide!

Exactly as advertised. Good price. Great cereal.

I really enjoy the mixture of tastes and textures in this cereal. It’s far less boring than corn flakes, and more enjoyable (and far fewer calories) than conventional granola cereals. Not the healthiest choice that one could make for a breakfast cereal, but it nowhere near as bad as others. Most important, it tastes great!
Watch the prices since if you catch it on a price dip, the Amazon price is better than what you’d get at a warehouse store (and much better than a regular grocery store unless it’s on sale and you have coupons). The prices bounce around a lot, so if there’s a good price dip, stock up.

Amazing cereal, 5 stars.

This is the cereal that I typically eat and I love it, but when you order these multi-packs from Amazon, they send boxes that have expired promotions (sometimes not even in English, so I don’t know what market they were intended for) and while they’re within the timeframe of the “Best By” date, they’re painfull stale tasting. Don’t save the extra buck or two and have to endure that over the course of 5 boxes of cereal.

Pros:
Received prompt delivery
Well packaged for this bulk item
Pricing was dirt cheap
Cons:
Opened the first box and it is nowhere near the same great tasting cereal I’ve eaten for years.
My opinion on the cereal in general*
If you like crunchy, sweet but not too sweet cereal this is for you. I used to eat it because I thought it was healthy yet tasty. Probably not so much, but I still love it. What is it with Americans and our attachment to favorite cereals?
PS- I will update review after tasting another box. If it’s the same will contact Amazon.
**UPDATE
These boxes expire on 10/13/2011 (Don’t know the average for cereal, but roughly 11 months after purchase)
The taste has improved, don’t know if it’s because I got used to it or what. I will up the rating by one because it does not taste great.

Honey Bunches of Oats is one of my favorite Breakfast Cereals. The flakes and the clusters complement each other very well. Kind of High in sugar, but it does put some more oats in my diet.

After reading the reviews, I still decided to order this for some reason. I thought “Honey bunches is honey bunches”, but I was wrong. Very stale and gritty, not enough flakes compared to what I buy in the grocery store. I’m not sure what’s going on, expiration was 1 year out.
