[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now, for the cheapest hot breakfast for the week -- I make overnight oats and it is really, really cheap.

1 pound of old fashioned oats - $1.00
1 cup raw walnuts - $1.00
1 cup hemp seeds/chia seeds/flax seeds -- whatever is on sale. -- about $1.00
1-2 cups dried raisins/craisins/etc -- about $1.00
about 5 cups of milk. $1.50

Put in a large Tupperware container and cover with water to soak, then mix it well,  Leave it overnight in the fridge.
It will last 5 days in the fridge.

In the morning, scoop out how much you want and add 1 cup whatever milk you like. ($0.25?)  Heat it in the microwave for a minute.

Top with sliced banana, berries (on sale) -- another $2-3
and some brown sugar or maple syrup if you have it.

That's about $7 for 5 days of breakfast.  Way more filling and nutritious than a bowl of cereal and milk.[/quote]

You really think 2 cups of craisins costs $1?  A pound of oats $1?  Your prices are way too low.[/quote]

Old-fashioned rolled oats are between six cents an ounce and eight cents an ounce at Aldi’s, Whole Foods bulk, and Lidl.
So that’s three places where you can get oatmeal for about a dollar a pound. If you’re paying more for that, then yeah it’s gonna be more expensive.[/quote]
