    I would just get the steel cut oats in the tub. They’re better for you than the instant shit and on a per serving basis are usually cheaper.

      My grocery stores used COVID-19 as an excuse to permanently remove their bulk bins. The closest store to me that still has them is a 90 minute ride on public transit, with two very timing-precise bus transfers. And I still need to walk about a mile on top of it.

        I think you misunderstood me, I’m talking about the like tubular tubs of generic oatmeal that’s in the oatmeal aisle at the store. It’s pretty much the same as in every store I’ve ever been in America. It’s not a special bulk bin item that I’m aware of.

          Oh, they don't sell those here anymore, either. Or at least, they've transitioned exclusively to only stocking premium brands that are gluten free organic carbon neutral oats that the farmer read poetry to, for twice the price.
