You're in good company Pam, my better half eats Shredded Wheat for breakfast. He's probably half shredded wheat, half digestive biscuits ... or more likely wholewheat!

We used to buy biscuits in Victoria, B.C., but they cost three times as much as they did back home!

Hi Zada,

We use peppermint too! I'm not a great fan of biscuits but I do like peppermints!

The cost of getting the biccies here is extreme, however, worth it for a treat now and again. I really vacillate when it comes to shredded wheat; I will eat it for a while but when I start feeling a bit like a horse on too much hay, I have to switch. Of course with the cost of wheat going where it is, I might abandon shredded wheat altogether. Too bad that bacon and sausage aren't an option. I am sure I could get used to them except for the side effects. news from the frozen north - Page 2 22
