General Mills discontinues 3 cereal flavors. See which ones.
General Mills is pulling three specialty cereals from shelves, a representative for the company confirmed to USA TODAY. The company is discontinuing: Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch (introduced in early 2013) Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios (introduced in 2017) Honey Nut Cheerios Minis products (announced as a new addition in early 2024) Cereal enthusiast and social media user Kayla Simonsen, also known as the Cereal Queen on Instagram, first broke that the cereal was getting the axe in an Instagram post on June 4. "Of the 3, It baffles me the most that Cheerios would discontinue the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios," Simonsen said in the social media post, adding that people should "grab these while (they) can, because what's on shelves is what's left." General Mills did not elaborate on why it discontinued the products, but said in a statement on June 17 that it is introducing new cereals for customers to try, like Cheerios Oat Crunch Chocolate. Frosted Lemon Cheerios will also return for a limited time this summer. 'Much like Frosted Lemon Cheerios, which returned by popular demand, we continue to listen to our fans as we evolve our offerings,' the company said. Simonsen said Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios were 'fantastic' in her June 4 Instagram post. She also offered her take on what could've helped the Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch cereal last longer. 'The medley (oat) crunch version of honey nut cheerios were so underrated,' she wrote. 'I feel if they had been more widely available from the start that the sales would have been great. It combined HN cheerios, multigrain based flakes that had graham flour in them, & the best honey clusters of granola w/almonds. It was perfection honestly.' According to General Mills, the company recently released a line of Cheerios Protein cereal, which comes in flavors such as cinnamon, strawberry, and cookies and creme. The line debuted this year.

B&M bargain hunter reveals SIX cereal boxes you can pick up for just 50p… but stocks are running low so get there fast
A SAVVY shopper has uncovered a breakfast bonanza at B&M — six boxes of cereal for just 50p each. The deal was shared on Facebook, with one thrilled user posting: '50P a pack B@M Northampom.' 2 The discovery was made at a B&M store in Northampton, and the bargain quickly caught the attention of other shoppers online. Fans flocked to the comments to share their excitement. Another warned: 'These were recalled in my store.' A third added: 'Need to visit the place.' Others pointed out that prices may vary by location. One user said: 'In mine they're 89p but still cheap.' But it's not just cereal getting snapped up. B&M has been rolling out a wave of red-hot deals lately. A stunning red oriental lily, priced at just £4.50, has been a garden favourite thanks to its strong fragrance and ability to return bigger each year. Travel lovers have been grabbing a £7 cabin bag that's been praised for fitting perfectly under plane seats and meeting airline size rules. Homeware fans haven't been left out either. A candle-in-a-cup dupe for a £24 Zara Home version is flying off shelves at just £4. Shoppers say the scent is nearly identical. Meanwhile, a giant inflatable rocking toy that was originally £50 has been reduced to just £1 in some stores — with one buyer calling it the 'bargain of the year.' Another viral find is a retro-style lava lamp with built-in Bluetooth speaker — once £20, now scanning for only 50p in some stores. Shoppers are urging others to use the B&M scanner app to uncover hidden discounts, as shelf prices often don't match what's at the till. One mum shared her tip: head to stores midweek, especially Wednesday mornings, when many new markdowns appear. 2
