For months I've been seeing the quirky Fiber One commercials. No matter how many times I heard, "Cardboard no, delicious yes" I just didn't believe him. I mean, come on, it's fiber!

That was until I saw the bubbly Hungry Girl herself, Lisa Lillian, on the Rachael Ray show.After her segment I thought, "All right already! I'll get a box!"

Whew....glad that part of the peer pressure is off.

I have to admit, the quirky guy on the commercial was right! Very tasty indeed. Even my kids like it.

The price, not so tasty! I couldn't believe how much it costs at our local Jewel. Nearly five dollars. At that price, I make the box streeeeeeeeeeeetch. To me, this is a luxury item. There are four other people in my family I have to think about when I'm making my grocery list.

But I digress...

I was running low on my one box when I decided to check my online grocery store to check how much they are charging for it. I couldn't believe it. I actually had to stop and look up Fiber One to see how much it was selling in other places. I decided to go straight to the source, the Fiber One store.

Here's my great find of the day:

  • Fiber One cereal at the online store is $4.39; the MHA price....drum roll please.... $2.28!

  • Fiber One granola bars at the online store is $3.29; the MHA price... 98 cents! Yeah; you read that right!

  • Fiber One toaster pastries at the online store is $2.39; the MHA price.... $1.61

  • Fiber One pancake mix at the online store is $3.49; the MHA price.... $2.59!

Both offer free shipping with no minimums (yeah!). Of course, Fiber One only gives you Fiber One products. My Harvest America gives you access to more than 10,000 name brand items when part of their subscription service. And with everything else I'm saving on while shopping at MHA,the modest monthly subscription service fee is a non-issue.

Fiber One, good for the waist and now even better for my pocket book. Here's a hungry girl who's really satisfied.
