I'm a fan of Lara bars. Even backpacking I can't force down a ClifBar, and Luna bars are alright, but I prefer Larabars. Either way, whenever the grocery store does a 10 for $10, or even better box of 12 or 16 for $10 I go clear out the racks and ask for a rainy day check because they are out so I can come back in a month and clean them out again. I don't use them for daily use, but for bike rides, hiking, or as backup for backpacking (when my homemade GORP runs out).
It really depends on the activity how long it will last before I'm hungry. If I go for a bike ride/workout after work. I'll snag one, eat it on the way, and it will hold me over until I can make dinner two hours later. Since I don't eat breakfast I'm sure one in the morning would give me an extra hour before my stomach starts grumbling in the early afternoon.
If you're using the bars as a cheap option for breakfast can I suggest granola, milk (or yogurt) and a banana or some other fruit for breakfast. Cheap, delicious, and fueling. I'll take that as a breakfast meal on any backpacking trip over a bar.
