Quaker oats, old fashioned, 2 5 lb. bags, 100+ servings 10-lb

Quaker oats, old fashioned, 2 5 lb. bags, 100+ servings 10-lbRolled oats are great nutrition-wise. I eat oatmeal every morning for fiber and the cholesterol lowering properties. But check the price on this. At the current price of 27.99 for 10 pounds, this is $2.80 a pound. I can do better with organic rolled oats at my local health food store, and the local grocery store's smaller boxed of rolled oats.

No complaints at all about these rolled oats. They were hermetically sealed in plastic bags inside the cardboard boxes. The taste was similar to Quaker rolled oats bought in cylindrical packages from a grocery store. The taste was slightly more flavorful and the texture was slightly more pleasant and chewy than similar "value" rolled oats (grocery store brand), probably because of better storage and packaging procedures. Overall, the best rolled oats I've had. Rolled oats (of any brand) are a very healthy food.

Information says old fashioned, however when I received the oats they were Quick 1 minute. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to get the item I ordered.

I used to have to go to Costco to find this item. Now I can buy it online for just about the same price. Plus I don't need someone with a membership to let me into the store.

I eat this for breakfast every day and prefer it over the instant oatmeal since it's less processed and seems to satiate me for longer.

Want Quaker oats, old fashioned, 2 5 lb. bags, 100+ servings 10-lb Discount?

I usually buy 42 oz canisters in my local grocery store, it's $4.95, so I figured, 10 lbs would be OK for $18+. I was unpleasantly surprised when the arrived pack clearly stated, 2 packs of 4.5 lbs inside, total 9 lbs, not 10 as advertised! Not buying anymore.

You gotta change your listing guys you cannot be misleading the consumers into buying smaller pack than they think it is!!!

Ygrt Bar, Orchard Peach , 1.41 oz (pack of 12 )

Ygrt Bar, Orchard Peach , 1.41 ozI just bought some of these at the store and I was so impressed that I had to come to Amazon and spread the word. And no I do not work for the company nor am I affiliated in any way.

I have been searching all over for a healthy protein bar that is low in sugar and fat and one that doesn't contain sugar alcohols that upset my stomach. These fit the bill perfectly and taste delicious. They are all natural and do not have that sickeningly sweet taste that so many of the bars have these days. Also, they include probiotics.

6 grams fat, 8 grams sugar, 7 grams protein 160 calories for a 40 oz bar, and no sugar alcohols! Tastes too good to be this good for you! I chose the peach flavor because the nutrition info was the best for the flavors that the store carried. Can't wait to try some of the others.

Big Sky Cranberry Almond Granola, 12-Ounce (Pack of 3)

Big Sky Cranberry Almond Granola, 12-OunceMy family and I have been enthusiastic consumers of this granola for years. We even switched grocery stores when our old one stopped carrying it. I'd say we went through about 2 bags a week, pretty regularly. Recently I have not been able to find my familiar package at the store--like the one pictured on Amazon. Instead the grocery store carried only the new "clusters." Disappointed by the change in structure and recipe, I went to Amazon to see if I could get the old one back. I was pleased to see it pictured--the old one, not the clusters. So I ordered SIX packages of the stuff. Instead of getting my old favorite granola, I got the darn clusters. We are hanging on to the granola we got from Amazon (it's not so bad that I need to send it back) but unless the old one returns, count us as "used to be customers." The clusters, which is what you'll get now, have far fewer nuts in favor of what seems to be less expensive fillers. Not fans of the new and "improved" clusters.

I'm a granola fanatic, make my own, and have tried every granola available... this is the best ever!

I've been consuming this every morning for over a year now.Wonderful with some fresh fruit or dried fruit. The smaller single serving packs are perfect for work or travel. Those of you Bariatric pts should really try this. Start your day with high protien ( add skim milk) without the bloat and sickening sweet shakes.Those shakes make you want sweets/carbs, as do all sweet tasting foods.I stay clear of them.

Not only is this good, but it also has some protein and fiber , something missing in a lot of WFGF foods. We have enjoyed all of Kay's WFGF foods, they have flavour without the aftertase we find in a lot of the other WFGF items.

Grove Square Cappuccino, Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

Grove Square Cappuccino, French Vanilla, 24-Count Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup BrewersI LOVE THIS STUFF!! I am not really into coffee but I love a hot drink in the morning so cappuccino is perfect for me. I'm also not into the really heavy flavors. The French Vanilla is full bodied but light enough that I don't feel saturated when I drink it. The Grove brand is one of my personal favorites. It's affordable and I like that it's a single packagemakes it easy to know that you're making enough in the morning!

I highly suggest a storage rack if you drink singles like me though. The racks (K-Cup Carousel Storage Organizer + Free All-Natural Stevia Sweetener Pouch) are a really affordable way to keep organized without having the clunky awkward box lying around on the counter or in the cabinet. If you're a Keurig user, you will not regret getting one. It's a classy way to store you stuff and it makes it really easily accessible. You can add a whole bunch of flavors on the rack to get a variety too :)

Ingredient: Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (may contain coconut, soybean, sunflower, palm and/or canola), Sugar, Corn Syrup Solids, Instant Coffee, Sodium Caseinate, Salt, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Cocoa (processed with alkali), Dipotassium Phosphate, Cornstarch, Monoand Diglycerides, Silicon Dioxide, Soy Lecithin, Artificial Color, "Sucralose".

I love this French Vanilla cappuccino! It is exactly what I was looking for to make in my Keurig. You see, I am NOT a coffee drinker so I am always on the look out for tea or other speacialty drinks to make in my Keurig. This would be similar to the Cafe Escapes Cafe Mocha and Chai Latte. It is a mix that fully emties when you run it through the Keuirg. A word of warning to the die hard coffee drinkers...this is not your Starbucks cappuccino. It's more like your gas station cappuccino, which was exactly what I was looking for. Great taste even on the largest cup setting on the Keurig platinum. My new favorite morning pleasure.

This was very different from what I originally expected it to be. That being said, I found this to be probably the best k-cup I have ever had. It is very creamy and has a great hazelnut flavor. I enjoy a cappucino once in a while and I love hazelnut coffee. I expected this to be more of cappucino with a light hazelnut flavor. That was not the case. This is like a creamy coffee/hazelnut flavored hot cocoa without the cocoa. I was expecting something completely different but ended up being pleasantly surprised. This is a great after dinner or mid day pick-me-up and this will now hold a permanent row or two in my revolving k-cup counter top display. If you want a real cappucino, this isn't for you. If you want a great tasting hot liquid sweet snack, get this. I liked this so much, I will be ordering the French vanilla version to give that a try as soon as I complete this review. Also, you cant beat the price....less than $10 delivered to my door. Wooooo Hooooo!

Want Grove Square Cappuccino, Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers Discount?

This coffee is delicious. I would assume it's an instant blend, because the K-Cup is completely empty after usage. The caffeine content is low, so it's a great afternoon coffee that won't keep you up at night. If the price stays at 10 dollars with free shipping, it's a good deal. Once they raise the price though, I'm out of here.

Post Shredded Wheat ' Bran, Spoon Size, 18-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5)

Post Shredded Wheat ' Bran, Spoon Size, 18-Ounce BoxesPost Shredded Wheat made with Bran is unique among cereals in that it tastes great and has no sugar added. The bran puts it in a category all its own. There are many store brands of bite sized shredded wheat, but I'm pretty sure only Post makes the bran version. It is healthy, good tasting, and one of our favorite morning cereals.

I can no longer buy Post Shredded Wheat 'Bran locally. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it through Amazon. I like that there is no added sugar and is filling enough to last until lunch time.

The flavor is yummy! I like crunchy (not soggy) cereal,so I pop 2 or 3 pieces of these bite-sized gems in my mouth, then take a drink of milk. Shredded Wheat and Bran is flavorful and good for you.

I've read through most of the labels in the cereal aisle at the grocery store, and this cereal is the best source of fiber. I eat a bowl every morning with raisins and sweetener. With respect to the yogurt which promises a regular system in 2 weeks. This cereal gently regulates your system within 24 hours. It has kept me as regular as a clock. The subscribe and save price is cheaper that that at my local grocer's. I recommend this purchase.

Bob's Red Mill Southern Style White Corn Grits -- 24 oz

Bob's Red Mill Southern Style White Corn Grits -- 24 ozThe label claims "Southern style white corn grits also known as polenta." Polenta and grits are two different things. What makes grits grits is that they are made from dried hominy, not white corn. Southern-style grits are made of ground hominy, not ground white corn. The bleaching action of the alkali soak to make the grits is what turns the corn white. Beyond authenticity and texture/taste, hominy grits have a superior nutritional profile. A little truth in advertising is lacking from this product.

I cooked these according to the package directions, AND added in some sauteed onion, bell pepper and shredded cheese, and they were excellent...even reheated!

Flavorful and excellent tasting creamy grits. My daughter likes Bob's Red Mill Yellow Corn Grits. I like the white corn grits. I usually buy Quaker Old Fashion Grits, but i will buy these grits for now on. Also, 1/4 cup of Quaker Old Fashion Grits is 150 calories vs the Bob's White Corn Grits at 120 per 1/4 cup. The calories add up over time.

Barbara's Bakery Organic Shredded Oats Vanilla Almond Cereal, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Barbara's Bakery Organic Shredded Oats Vanilla Almond Cereal, 16-Ounce BoxesThis cereal is very tasty, and stays crunchy in milk. It makes a healthy snack as well. The whole family loves it.

This is really tasty stuff, and I sure wish it were organic as stated in the product description above, but let's not confuse "natural" with organic. Organic means grown without chemical pesticides and grown without using genetically modified seeds. There is no guarantee that this is the case with "natural" products such as this and likely they could be GMO and sprayed with pesticides. If it were truly an organic product I would have given it 5 stars, and it certainly is priced like an organic product. Still, quality of ingredients aside, it is very yummy. But so is junk food.

J&D's Natural Bacon Salt(Pack of 3)

J&D's Natural Bacon Salt(Pack of 3)This is a fantastic idea but I wish I had tasted it first. There is a bacon-like taste but the smoke flavoring is overpowering. In moderation, the taste is pretty good. If you like liquid smoke, you'll like this.

When these products were offered as the deal of the day, I read up on them and started salivating at the prospect of all that bacon taste in a jar. I also researched the J&D website to check out the nutritional info and found that all the other bacon salts except the natural one contained MSG. So I went with the natural.

The product has a very smoky aroma, but underneath it all you can still tell it is salt lots of salt. I think the paprika must add a lot to the sensation of bacon, as well as the smoky smell and flavor.

I have tried this on a few things and it does give food a bacon flavor although of course it is no substitute for the real thing. It's healthier, though; while it still has lots of sodium at least it has none of the other bad stuff. It is good to use as a condiment to sub for bacon when you have the craving but don't want to spend the time making it or eating it and getting fat. I give it three stars. It is good to have around and serves a purpose, but it is nothing fantastic.

I guess I expected too much of this product. I wanted a salt that actually had the taste of bacon. Try as I could, it was very difficult to discern. I did not like the "garlicy" after-taste either. Don't remember ever eating bacon that had the taste of garlic. If this were re-manufactured as a smokey rub, it might make the grade.

Want J&D's Natural Bacon Salt(Pack of 3) Discount?

What a disappointment! First, this product should not have the name Bacon Salt. If you are familiar with the infused salts made for gourmet cooking with flavors such as thyme or rosemary, you will notice that this is a flavoring powder and not a salt at all. The predominant flavor is sort of a yeasty garlic and paprika with a small amount of smoke. There is practically no bacon flavor whatsoever. I tried the so-called natural product since I am allergic to monosodium glutamate. This product makes the claim "No MSG Added", but fails to inform the consumer that they have added autolyzed yeast extract instead. As anyone who is sensitive to MSG should know, autolyzed yeast extract itself contains free glutamates. It is a not so clever ruse to add MSG while claiming none has been added. Even the FDA is aware of this deception and has gone after a few of the larger offenders with truth in labeling claims.

My recommendation is that unless you cannot eat bacon, you might try preparing your own bacon salt at home. There are some great recipes for making things like bacon jam and spreads using real bacon and I am sure making a true bacon flavored salt would be a simple trick. The product concept is great, but the execution is horrible.
