Some people requested it for comparison! But let's see if I can do some quick back of the box math.

1200 calories for 2 dollars, so 600 calories per dollar or .15 for 100 calories, putting it around oat in price terms. Which is expected since it's just bread and sugar, but still far more expensive than like pasta. Name brand is a lot more expensive.
