Best budget breakfast brands revealed

CanStar's Data Insights team has rated breakfast staples across multiple categories to help shoppers find the best value during rising cost-of-living pressures. Coles Bakery won for white bread and wholemeal, Aldi topped the multigrain category, and Weet-Bix was named the best cereal for 2025, scoring highly on taste, value for money and texture. Generic brand alternatives like Hillcrest wheat biscuits and Woolworths Crispy Rice Pops offer savings of up to 50% compared to name brands, while buying in bulk or waiting for specials can also reduce costs significantly.
