If you don't mind a fine texture (I do mind), then yes, you can find
several brands including Quaker in the grocery store. Just make sure that
they're not "instant". I don't even like the "quick cooking" version, but
I guess some folks find those okay. I get mine from a mill because it's
about the only way I can get them coarsely ground.
