Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There are coupons for store brand items too- Which I use as well
Though store brand items tend to already have a reduce prices anyways.
Why pay 6.79 for a box of 8 pack quaker oats instant oatmeal when the store brand has instant oatmeal with the same number of packs for ~4.50
Additionally, many times the store brand is manufactured by the name brand anyway.
I would just get the steel cut oats in the tub. They’re better for you than the instant shit and on a per serving basis are usually cheaper.
My grocery stores used COVID-19 as an excuse to permanently remove their bulk bins. The closest store to me that still has them is a 90 minute ride on public transit, with two very timing-precise bus transfers. And I still need to walk about a mile on top of it.
I think you misunderstood me, I’m talking about the like tubular tubs of generic oatmeal that’s in the oatmeal aisle at the store. It’s pretty much the same as in every store I’ve ever been in America. It’s not a special bulk bin item that I’m aware of.
Oh, they don't sell those here anymore, either. Or at least, they've transitioned exclusively to only stocking premium brands that are gluten free organic carbon neutral oats that the farmer read poetry to, for twice the price.
This is an example of what I’m talking about https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-100-Whole-Grain-Old-Fashioned-Oats-42-oz/10314925
I know what you're talking about. They aren't in the stores near me anymore.
Damn wtf that’s been a staple since forever.
