Eat Your Wheaties Before Next Month

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Well, cold cereal and boxed cake mixes are pretty much out of our budget anyway, but it doesn't bode well for the prices of everything else. Seems like it's all gone up this year.

Time to get familiar with oatmeal again! At least it's something we can order in bulk 50-lb. bags, which brings the per-serving price pretty cheap. Plain oatmeal is boring though.

Favorite oatmeal recipe: Add some canned pumpkin, chopped walnuts, a little cinnamon, maybe a little nutmeg and cloves, and real maple syrup! Or berries or chopped apples instead of the pumpkin. A little flavored coffee creamer can be good too, even if you put milk on the oatmeal.

 

Name brand cold cereals are over $3 a box here. At Aldi's their brands are $1.79 per box. I have not bought brand name without a major sale and coupon in ages.

Oatmeal is great with a little apple butter mixed in. My picky eaters love it that way.

 

I love oatmeal especially with a squirt of vanilla in it.

 

A big ol bowl of hot oatmeal before a hunt in cold weather will do more to keep ya in the field, past lunch than a mickie D's samich, lol. It also will not drag ya down with a big sugar crash after that big ol or little ol debbies cake off the heart attack rack, that's what i call it. :2thumb:

 

I have not purchased name brand cereals for some time now. oatmeal with fruit is a lot cheaper and more healthy.

 

The summer of 1970 I ate probably 10 boxes of Wheaties to get a NY Mets Baseball poster and haven't eaten any since then. I do have oatmeal and cream of wheat in my preps though, might get some more.

 

Oooh, I love Cream of Wheat! We add hot cocoa mix to it and make our own "Cocoa Wheats"!

There's a whole wheat version of it called "Bear Mush", and to this day my kids call all cream of wheat "Bear Mush"! Somehow the name made them enthusiastic about eating it! Now they're raising their own kids, calling it that!

 

I love Cream of Wheat as well.

When I make it, I will squirt some "Roger's Golden Syrup" into my porridge-bowl and then put my porridge over that. I'll cut a bit of butter off the block and place that in the center of my porridge. Once that is melted down, I'll stir it up and eat! :2thumb:

 

What are "Mets"? :confused:
:dunno:

 

Gypsy, "Mets" are a bunch of guys who wear tight pants, scratch themselves in public and one day want to learn how to play baseball. :lolsmash:

Just pickin' on ya, UncleJoe.

Oh! I get it! "Mets" are Wal-mart shoppers! :lolsmash: :lolsmash:

 

Don't feel bad! I was just kidding!

Who could forget them winning the world series in 1986?

Seems to me they won it back in the 60's too, when I was a kid.
