Eating what you already have

If you child wants some new cereal do you tell them to eat what cereal is already there before you head to the store to buy new cereal for them? If they get tired of eating the same thing, then they should not eat the same thing all the time and I'm sure there is always a lot of other food to choose from. It will save you are the grocery store to if they eat what is already in the pantry or fridge.

When I do my grocery shopping, I try to choose two or three different cereals at a time. This allows my kids to eat a different one everyday and when those are finished, we go for different ones from the previous time. However, I don't believe in heading out to the store to buy a different kind of cereal just because my child is not interested in what we already have at home. There are always other things to eat besides cereals and if we say yes to everything they ask for, we would never hear the end of it. Cheers!

That is the way we do it too, buy more than one kind at once and then they have a choice of two unless they eat all of one kind. As adults we usually try to finish up the one with the lowest amount in it , so we can clear it out of the cabinet

Well, we do not have kids, but I know for myself my husband and I will usually try and eat up all of the cereals and such before we go and buy anything different unlesss we find a Good Sale on something as well. I know that if you tend to forget about the Cereals and such and keep on buying New then you have to end up throwing some of the others out due to going past the expiration date as well. But we tend to rotate usually what we buy so that we do not end up getting tired of eating something all of the time as well.
