You get what you pay for

 I bought a box of Walmart brand Raisin Bran cereal. It cost a lot less than the name brand stuff. I poured out a bowl yesterday and there was not a single raisin in the bowl - zip, zero, nada. I couldn’t see any in the box. 

My first thought was I should have ponied up the extra cents for the box labeled “twice the raisins”, but my brain quickly calculated that 2X0 is still zero raisins. 

I suppose I cannot complain, the box said “raisin” bran, not “raisins “ brand. There is probably one tiny dried up raisin in the box somewhere. 

When I was a kid cereal boxes had a toy or prize in the box. As an adult I would settle for a handful of raisins.

I'd be on my way back for a refund or exchange. Absolutely.

I wouldn't be buying anything from WalMart right now. Is there an Aldi near you? Their store brand, I assure you, would have a plethora of raisins. Try it. if you can.

Remember, WalMart raised prices "Because of the Tariffs" even on American Made items...and they didn't lower them even when the Tariffs were paused.

Like it is said above, choose Aldi or another store besides WalMart for any purchase you can.

For anyone in the buy American crowd - you know Aldi is a German company right?

Anonymous: Who cares? They have decent products and decent prices and decent quality. Better than WalMart in all respects. None of the comments said anything about "Buy American".
