As a child I didn't much care for oatmeal, but as an adult I love this for breakfast. As an adult I can cook them the way I like with raisins and cinnamon, or chopped dried apricots with a bit of honey, a chopped apple with cinnamon and brown sugar. Oatmeal is a healthy cereal and so adaptable to individual taste. They can be salt free, low fat, no sugar, and different flavors for everyday of the week. I grown to like a well cooked oatmeal with a creamy texture. Quaker does a good oatmeal that cooks quickly to a creamy texture, and doesn't have to be soaked overnight which is something my Mom did with the oats she used.

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.

Was very disappointed when I got my order. The oatmeal was at the bottom of the box laying down and the detergent I ordered was on top and smushed the oatmeal and flakes were all at the bottom of the box. I only had half a container of oatmeal left. Not a happy camper

Can Quaker be this humongous? Buy anyway. With condensed milk & water, this will be fabulous. Nothing like not having to starve. Great packaged gift for that needy worker or friend whom you want to reward without making him feel poor or that his family needs food.

Oatmeal is a gut-healthy, hearty breakfast that we have frequently. We add fruits or peanut butter. We especially like the rolled over the quick cook. It microwaves perfectly and you don't need to stand at the stove stirring. I use it in making bread and cobblers too.

Make sure you have a container that can hold the bulks of this big, double bag offering. Keeps the second bag and most of the first fresh while you enjoy about 2 lbs kept in a smaller container over several weeks. Easy to prepare. Great with chopped fruit added, or butter, or sugar, or just plain.

The stars above are for the product, the oats are great, we have been using this product for a very long time. However the deliery service was very bad, the boxes arrived opened with loose oats all over the larger container that was used for shipping the 12 boxes of oats that I ordered. I order products for my parents that live in a different state. My intention is to provide them with products that they use that can be conveniently delivered to their home. I send them products from different stores and have been very disapointed with the delivery service that Wallmart uses, it is very frequently that the product arrives damaged. The local store has been very good at taking the product back and replacing it, or in this case because they didn't have the same product gave them a gift card. But, my entire intention of providing them with products delivered to their door was broken :(

I use these for overnight oats and its the best breakfast I've found. 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup 2% milk, overnight in fridge. In the AM I add a handful of granola protein (Sams club product) and some blueberries and or blackberries. I never thought I would like cold oatmeal but its SO good!

Please put Quaker, Old Fashioned Oatmeal, Whole Grain, 42 oz in a sealed plastic bag like you do laundry soap when shipping. The bottom of the oatmeal container was crushed in shipping allowing ANTS to get inside with the Quaker, Old Fashioned Oatmeal, Whole Grain, 42 oz. . I love Quaker, Old Fashioned Oatmeal, Whole Grain, without ANTS!!!

Product and delivery was excellent. However, packaging was not good. I ordered 3 canisters which were stacked side by side in the shipping box. The canisters are round therefore the weakest point is on it's side. The bottom canister broke open and spread oatmeal all over the box. Two canisters were OK, but had to throw out the third one .
