can someone explain the difference between the two ?
That big bag costs less than the little box.
That used to be universally true. Is it still? I think the last time I looked at the bag about 7 years ago it was just about on par with the price per oz of the name brand. The store brand in the box (as opposed to the name brand in the box) is still cheaper though.
It's definitely still true in Central Europe
10 years ago I ate a lot of bulk bagged cereal. at the time even some of the 'natural/organic' brands were cheaper by weight. I stopped when it became about the same and I was also sick of cereal. probably close to 7 years ago like you said.
