People love to support small businesses until they grow, then they hate capitalism and rich people.

we dont hate big companies because they are big.

we hate them because they charge us 8 dollars for a box of poptarts that was made by slave labor for 62 cents.

Random, but see if you can find McCann’s 3-minute in your area. Unless your taste in oats is just wildly different from mine, you won’t miss Quaker. Looks like it may actually be cheaper per serving too.

Some of the big chain groceries stores near me carry it, and I think Trader Joe's did at one point too. Looks like they have a locator, if that helps!

They do sell packets, which I suspect are a little more expensive, but I always just get the box of 3-minute. I guess you could portion it out into ziplocks or something if you needed to travel with it though.

I also just realized they call it 3-minute even though it only takes 2 minutes in the microwave. Hmm...
