Quaker Oats has been in business since the 1850s (per their website) so we know they sell a quality product. We've eaten Quaker oatmeal for decades - both the little instant flavored packets when we're in a hurry and the old fashioned slower cooking type when mornings aren't so rushed. We buy it because it's healthy, inexpensive and filling. These old fashioned oats cook up creamy and chewy, with lots of fiber. Add some jam, maple syrup or brown sugar, and some raisins or chopped walnuts to the top before serving, and you have a delicious and stick-with-you breakfast you won't feel guilty about. It's a great alternative to sugary cereals and it puts something warm in your stomach on cold mornings.
I'm confused about some of the other reviews on this product regarding the price. When I bought this oatmeal (sold by Amazon, not a private vendor), it was $11.92 for four 42 oz. canisters. That works out to $1.13 per pound with free SuperSaver shipping. If you choose Subscribe and Save, the price drops to .96 cents per pound with free shipping. At Walmart this week, Quaker oatmeal in a 42 oz canister sold for $2.98, which is $1.14 per pound. Not only is it cheaper per ounce when sold by Amazon, but you don't have to go get it using your gas and car.
I've ordered this 4-pack several times and love the value and wholesomeness of it.
