I discovered BetterOats oatmeal at a local store. I have never eaten instant oatmeal as it never appealled to me. I am having problems with my teeth and it is difficult for me to chew. So I figured I would get some. Wow it was so good and so easy to fix. So I immediately popped onto Amazon (as I order many things from them) and was delighted they carried the product. However, what a shock I had when I saw what they were charging. It looks as though they come from other places but the cost per box is ridiculous. I am paying 50 cents per box, or 2/$1.00. at Save-A-Lot. Now this place doesn't carry a huge variety so I checked out Food Lion and Giant which carried each box (5 packets in each) for $1.49.
I felt I should let customers know about this pricing on Amazon. Perhaps Amazon will read this review and might consider selling them themselves and put in a price between 50 cents to $1.49 with Free Shipping and maybe the "subscribe and save" option. I checked around Amazon and found prices to really vary ------ for 3 boxes it varies from $4.13 to $7.49 a box, for 6 boxes $4.13. And I am paying 50 cents to $1.49 a box.As a creature of habit, I have eaten two packs of Quaker instant at work for the past seven years. After trying three different flavors of Oat Revolution, I will never go back. Three reasons why:
1) Flavor. Simply put, it tastes better than Quaker. When I was buying Quaker I had to cut the Brown Sugar with a packet of plain. I did not have to do it with this brand. it was not overly sweet, just delicious. I just took a look at their website and they have an absurd number of flavors, including a dark chocolate that I have not seen at the store.
2) Smart packaging. This likely only applies to me, but because I ate breakfast at my work, I never made the same bowl of oatmeal twice. Sometimes, too much water, other times, too little. The Oat Revolution packet is the measuring cup. You fill the packet to the dotted line, and voila, perfect oatmeal every time.
3) Nod to the planet. They are conscious about environmentally-sensitive packaging.I don't like oatmeal, but this stuff is wonderful. Not too sweet, nice grainy texture, and not a bunch of ingredients I can't pronounce.I sent a package of good to a group in Afghanistan they were thrilled to receive the healthy food.Portion size is a bit small, such that one package leaves you wanting more, but two packages seems a bit much. Overall, though, very tasty and recommended.
