I compared 3 different brands of granola bars: Kroger, Nature Valley, and Great Value.
Here is the price breakdown:
Kroger: $2.90
Nature Valley: $2.99
Great Value: $2.00
The
tastiest granola bar was definitely Nature Valley. You could tell it
had more oats just from looking at it. The Kroger and Great Value brand
were comparable, but had a little bit of a weird after taste that wasn't
in the Nature Valley bars. Overall, I didn't think it warranted only
buying NV. But, if you have a coupon for Nature Valley, it makes it
about the cost of the Great Value brand. In that case, I would
definitely buy them.
One
thing I like about Nature Valley granola bars is the variety. None of
the other brands have nearly as many different varieties. I particularly
love the trail mix bars and the chocolate granola thins. So, the 'best
deal' is the Great Value, and the 'best tasting' is definitely Nature
Valley.
But, if you don't want to buy granola bars, try making them! This is the best recipe I've found, and has extremely flexible list of ingredients.
