they have finally made my life easier. They have a 'weight control' pre packaged oatmeal that is flavored with splenda! Same cost as their normal and 1/2 sugar versions. I got the cinnamon, bananna bread and maple/brown sugar versions and will update as to how they taste.:love:

Tonight, I just found NINE pound boxes of Quaker on sale, so I bought 2....YEAH!

With as much oatmeal as I eat (about 2 lbs/week), I should have stock in that damn company...

ok... so I tried the Maple and Brown Sugar this morning. It does not have the clumpy sugar like the normal oatmeal does but it really taste good! I bought 8 boxes total of the 3 kinds so I am glad I like it! *I hate grocery shopping so I like to buy in bulk*

Hmmmm..oatmeal is so good, although I must confess, I have to have it the way my abuelita used to make it on occasion, especially on a cold, rainy morning. :)

I will have to sample it...thanks for the info.

i usually make a cup to cup 1/2 and add chopped strawberries or bananas or blueberries, even for such a big guys as me, it fills me up and keep the fires stoked all day, its a wonderful start to my usually boring days :cool:
