I love my oatmeal! Oatmeal is easy to cook,and makes for one of the healthiest, most economical breakfasts possible. If you think of oatmeal as bland, then you need to think outside the box. I add raisins, fruit, nuts, jam, cold cereal, honey, syrup, and almost anything you can imagine to oatmeal to make it a delicious part of my day every day. One of my favorite toppings is crushed tortilla chips. A good breakfast is the start of every good day, and oatmeal is the foundation.

This is a great product at an excellent price, and it is one of the main reasons I renewed my Sam's Club membership this year. Unfortunately, Sam's is no longer selling the Quaker Old Fashioned Oats in their local clubs; instead they are now selling the Quaker Quick One Minute Oats and raised the price by five dollars to $12.98.

My husband loves oatmeal cookies with raisins so instead of buying the kind from the store without raisins I guess I will make oatmeal cookies with raisins for him. Plus, I like to make my own oatmeal breakfast with lots of healthy things put in it (ground flax, hemp, chia seeds, golden berries, nuts, and lemon juice.

Tastes the same as when we were young, except now we no longer sweeten it...just add fruit & cinnamon. If they have made changes to their formula, so be it. As long as that change is not a detriment to our health or the environment. For those complaining about their 1st world problem; You should note that the label will show either "whole grain ROLLED oats" or just "whole grain oats". That makes a difference in the cooking results.t matter.

Product was great. Packaging for shipping created a hole in the bottom of round container . Had oatmeal scattered in the bottom of shipping box. My recommendation would be to place oatmeal in a plastic bag and secure the top. Bottom of oatmeal container is flimsy...

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.

I love the oatmeal. The reason for the 4 rating as opposed to a 5 is due to the way it was packed for shipping. It came in the same box as a large box of Finish powerballs for the dishwasher. The oatmeal container was punctured right below the lid level. The box of Finish matched in height where the damage was. There was loose oatmeal in the packing box but not too much. I ordered quite a few items which came in multiple deliveries and everything else was packaged with care. The oatmeal was the only thing that didn't quite survive the trip. The outside of the box that everything was packed in wasn't damaged at all.

We always made the instant oats variety until the day we mistakenly bought Old Fashioned and were frustrated by the change in soak and cook time. We learned quickly to soak the oats at least 30 minutes before cooking them for 5+ minutes on the stove top. Wife still prefers instant for time, I prefer old fashioned for the texture. Our compromise? I make the oatmeal. For the people who complain about oats that won't cook? Could the quality of your water be an issue? For a while we owned 2 homes; one in the PNW, the other in the midwest. Our enjoyable coffee recipe in the PNW was awful in the midwest even though it was the very same mail order coffee source, coffee maker, etc. Only the water was different. PNW used twice filtered well water, the midwest used tap water which smelled of sulfur. Using bottled water until we could install a filtration system made the difference. I remember not liking our oatmeal as well in the midwest which used tap water. Altitude and humidity made a big difference in our baking as well with successful recipes for us in the PNW failing in the midwest. Not that making oatmeal is a science, but, where the oats are consistent, the water, climate and cooking methods differ. Blaming the oats doesn't seem credible to me.

i mainly use this product for my gerbil breeding program. it makes up nearly 50 percent of their diet. the flakes are large and they can hold them easily when eating. when i remove the lid and plastic seal they can use the containers for housing and to chew on. i also use this product to bake oatmeal raisin cookies for the humans in my house 😋

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.
