Jordan's Cereal

This is my breakfast many mornings - the mornings that I'm too lazy (or too late) to peel fruit or buy bread (we buy fresh baked baguettes from the boutiques). I found this brand on a clearance rack where the price had been marked down from 5,125 francs CFA ($10) a box to 2,250 francs CFA ($4.50) because it had passed the expiration date. This, however, is not as good a deal as the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes that I found for 900 francs ($1.80) marked down from 4,200 francs ($8.40), just because the boxes had gotten wet! Needless to say, when you can buy fresh, picked-ripe bananas, oranges, and mangos for less than $1 per pound, you gotta be pretty lazy to eat cereal that these prices!

I also like this brand, Jordan's, because it is my cousin's name. Didn't know you had your own brand of cereal, did you Jordan?
