Overall
All Bran: Won 3 categories, but in my opinion taste counts extra, so this is my pick for the overall winner. Sure, they're a bit higher in fat, but they're also significantly higher in fiber, which is pretty good in my book. And they actually taste good! (Most likely because of the fat.)
Wheat Thins: Won 2 categories; while they're not that impressive nutritionally, they are still pretty delicious crackers.
Special K: Won 3 categories, and probably wins the overall nutrition contest (besides being low in fiber), but they taste awful. Seriously terrible. There is a bit of an onion-y flavor that I absolutely detest. It probably didn't help that I tried this box after the delicious higher fat All Bran crackers, but still, they are nasty. Please, I beg of you, do not waste your money or torture your taste buds with these crackers.
Anyone have any suggestions for me on a healthy cracker that still tastes good?

Ritz...but they are not healthy but delicious. Got to choose your battles I guess. But then again...they do have the whole wheat Ritz!
Ya know how about we just cut the crap...buy a lifetime supply of Oreos and BAM, problem solved!
I wish I had suggestions, but I am glad to know about the All Bran crackers. I've been looking for some healthy snacks myself! Of course Trader Joe's and Fresh and Easy have good multi grain crackers, but you don't have either of those stores, so sorry 'bout it.
Trader joes fer sher. Their multigrain crackers and imitation wheat thins are so good. I'll hafta see about their nutrition info... Looking forward to giving all-bran a try

I love the All Bran crackers. They are delicious and over all pretty healthy
I like Kashi personally. Don't know how it relates price wise. They have different flavors and I haven't tried all of them. The plain (7 grain i think it is) ones are my favorite. You can do your own thing with them; eat with PB, lunch meat, cheese, etc.
