And not just for breakfast, anymore.

Hardtack/biscuit, rum, barrels of salt meat - all were pre-prepared and packed aboard British ships in the 17th century. I imagine our whalers and Navy had similar.

Mmmmm, Granola !!

Although primarily used for feed for cattle, horses, goats and sheep, it is likely that some folks here in the U.S. found out early on that Oats were not just good for their' domesticated animals.

I proves the age old theory that granola looks like rabbit food!!! I had no idea that those cereals were that old, I was thinking 1920's or 1930's at the oldest.

I have been eating grape nuts and shredded wheat since I was a kid. There is discount store that sells expired or close to expired food, I buy grape nuts for $1.75 a box there.

Local Walmart had a bunch of wheat chex left over from Christmas and put them on sale for .75 a box. I bought 25 boxes...

Put the sealed bags in a sealed can. Otherwise you could get grubs and moths ! Well I know they can get into open boxes but not sure about sealed....

I have seen documentaries that stated that the original breakfast cereal was "popcorn". And that is what the "Kellogg" company replaced with it's first offering.

I can best you on the purchase. Recently I was accosted by a discount bin shopping cart display as I walked into a store ... Ocean Spray Milk Chocolate covered Dried Cranberries 8 Oz for 99 cents. Dated 2 months out. Price of milk chocolate per pound? Dried cranberries per pound? All this yummy for less than 2 bucks a pound? I bought 20 for me and got on the phone and picked up an obscene quantity for others, not even sure it was legal to transport that much
