I eat oatmeal nearly every morning and this is my favorite kind. The old fashioned oats have a nice texture, they are not mushy like the quick oats. The boxes I received are both fresh with very good dates, giving me plenty of time to use them, but I'm not sure why Sam's requires you to buy 2 boxes since they shipped mine separately. This is a great value, much cheaper than buying the 1 or 2 pound containers in the grocery store. I have two 2 pound Quaker Oat containers which I refill, one 5 lb bag actually fits in the 2 containers if you shake them down a little.

I like hows it good for me and so convenient To make. Just put it in a bowl with water for 1:25 minutes. Add what you would like. My favorite is apples and cran raisins. Sometime I also add cinnamon and apples when I want a little healthy snack. Minutes

The bottom was smashed in and I had oats everywhere on other items, which wasn't that bad but the box that items were mailed in had holes in the corners and oatmeal came out on the carpets. Lots of cleanup needed. Ruined box of oatmeal, would not use because it was broke open.

I won't have to go to the store for oatmeal all winter. 5 lbs is a LOT of oats, but hopefully they will stay fresh as we go through them. I did put them in another container, once opened. I cook them in my rice cooker (spray the bottom first) 1 rice cooker cup of oats to 2 rice cooker cups of water, a tablespoon of butter, a little salt, and spray the bottom of the rice cooker with non-stick spray (you don't have to, but it makes the cleanup easier). So easy!

Quaker oats, which I have used for many years, is a fine product. But TWICE the shipment I received had to be discarded because the cardboard oats container had been crushed so it it had opened at the bottom seam and oats were all over the box it was packed in. It needs to be packed differently. Would not order from this seller again.

First delivery was broken open -- but 2nd (a big thank you to Customer Service for taking care of this at no cost!!) -- 2nd delivery was perfect!) The 1st problem was with the delivery service, not with Walmart or Quaker. Thanks for fixing my problem!

It’s so convenient to have this large container of oats in my pantry. It is not only cheaper than smaller containers, but I can have premium oats at the price of cheaper oats. I also don’t have to concern myself about going out in bad weather...I can have it delivered to my door.

Being able to buy this large quantity at such a great price works well for me. I cook this oatmeal for my 12 yr old English bulldog who has stomach issues. I mix in pumpkin and shredded chicken to give him additional protein, but he loves it and it makes my life easier.

I like this economy size. My chickens also like a warm bowl of cooked oats on a cold winter's morning. This product stays fresh for a good long time so I always buy several. I find the whole oats more filling than the quick oats and less soupy. I cook a bowl of oats covered with water, add brown sugar and a pat of butter and microwave for 2 minutes. It's the best fast and easy breakfast!

Quaker Old Fashioned Oats are the best, always have been, BUT WALMART SHIPPING STINKS! Container arrived partially open that the bottom of the canister and oatmeal leaking out into the shipping box. No way of knowing what entered the food in the canister just as the oatmeal spilled out. Send me a refund or replace the item with a new one please!
