Trader Joe's vs. A-Brand!
It’s a complicated question that many have had to ponder lately. On the one hand all that aggressive marketing to consumers when they’re young has made people strangely loyal to their favorite cereal brand. On the other hand recent explosions in supermarket prices have left that brand loyalty in the dust.

This duo might be the most evenly matched pair on this list — there's almost a tit-for-tat comparison when it comes to taste and nutritional value.
