Instant Oatmeal Lower, Maple & Brown Sugar, 1.19 Oz, Pack of 44

It was a gray morning, the kind where the frost traces patterns on the windowpane, when I cracked open the box. The oatmeal is good stuff—hearty, warm, the kind of food that sticks to your ribs. It’s low in sugar, too, which is just right for my lovely wife. She has to watch those things, you know. It cooks up fast—ready before you can finish your first cup of coffee. But let me tell you about the box. It feels substantial in your hands. Heavy. Solid. There is a lot of oatmeal in there, and when I say a lot, I mean enough to wait out a blizzard. I stood there in the kitchen light, holding that box, and asked myself, Do we really need this much oatmeal? Looking out at the cold, I guess the answer is yes. You can never be too prepared.

My daily breakfast item, with milk and an egg. Perfect.

Just 44 packages of instant oatmeal randomly thrown in a box. Interestingly, there was some variance in the packages, some tasting less "maple & brown sugary." Also, the oatmeal that I received was "close dated" with a best to use date of only 2 1/2 months from purchase. Store bought Quaker Instant Oatmeal usually has a best to use date of 5-6 months.

Great product and great taste

Great purchase for the food pantry! Love the lower sugar content. Oatmeal in bulk box that can be opened to distribute to multiple families.
