Heck. That's relatively expensive. I get large flake oatmeal at Bulk
Barn for $1.25/lb. I use about 3 Tbsp of oatmeal to make a batch and
usually end up with more than I can eat, but I don't want to walk away
for 10-15 minutes while it is cooking. For the $4 they charge for a
bowl of oatmeal I could by a bag of the more expensive brand and make
enough for 40-50 people.

The Flying Saucer restaurant in Niagara Falls had 99 cent for years. Two
eggs, home fries and toast... 99 cents.
