I love the Old fashioned oatmeal. all those flavored and instant oatmeals and the kind in the individual "instant" packets just don't make it for me. Who can possibly be so busy they cant take time to make a proper bowl of oatmeal? I like different textures in the bowl, so i boil the water then toss in a handful of oats every minute or so- - that way some are soft, and some are nearly raw. Toss in a little honey and you've got grandma's oatmeal. When I would eat oatmeal in New England, the old folks would say it will "stick to your ribs". for years I had visions of oatmeal clumps hanging off my ribs like Spanish Moss. Funny how kids get strange ideas.

My original order of two containers got lost so Walmart re-sent the order. I eventually received 4 containers. The bottoms of 3 of the 4 containers were partially torn open. The container with the worst damage spilled about 1/2 a cup of oats into the shipping carton. The other two containers only lost a small amount of oats-less than a teaspoon full from each. I think that it's safe to eat from the damaged cartons so I am fine in keeping all four Quaker Oats containers. I think Quaker Oats needs to seal the bottoms of their containers better. The current bottom seems so flimsy. When shipping these cartons, Walmart needs to protect the bottoms of the containers better.

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 :(

Great oats! I use mine for baking and it’s wonderful. I usually cook my oats from Trader Joe’s to get steel cut. I do not like this brand for breakfast. However, they make amazing cookies and a wonderful topper for cobblers! The container is wonderful for children’s projects when you are finished.

We love our oatmeal every morning. It's great to have this much on hand on a regular basis. It costs just as much or less than the generic ones at the grocery store. You definitely can tell the difference in quality with Quaker Oats. It's more like restaurant quality in size and texture.

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!!!

I recommend Quaker oatmeal, it’s great! BUT, Wal-Mart packaged my laundry detergent, two bottles of juice and other items with my Quaker oatmeal... unfortunately I had oatmeal EVERYWHERE except in the oatmeal box. This was no way to ship a food product.

With just 5 minutes of cooking time, this is 100 times better than "instant" oatmeal. Plus you can use it for recipes (like meatloaf), which you usually can't do with "instant". I am in my late 50's, and have been eating this since I was a kid. It's definitely worth the small extra amount of time and effort!!!

I love QO for my mid morning breakfast, whether I'm at home or at work. Now I've jumped into raisin oatmeal cookies and I'll tell you that for a first time cookie baker, these Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are incredible. I'm bringing them into the office for a cookie swap tomorrow and I was nervous. I followed the recipe word for word, and extended the cooking time, because I can never eyeball a tablespoon (so cookies are twice the size) and Wow.

Quaker Oats simply are the best in my book and I cook with a lot of Old Fashioned oats, so i tried this product. I was very pleased with the price. The only thing i would recommend is that Quaker needs to come with a zip lock style bag or a carton for each of the 5 lb bags. I had to transfer them to a large plastic container to keep them fresh. But for the price and quality I will be glad to do so
