Save money on groceries: Buy only one type of oats

Free Monthly Newsletter with great whole grain recipes at: http://www.millersgrainhouse.com/store

Not being a big fan of anything that is a uni-tasker (one use item) I even apply that to our foods! Buying one type of oat and using it for many different recipes and replacing other items makes the humble organic rolled oat a GREAT grain for multiple uses.

save money by finding new ways to use the less processed rolled oat.

    Excellent point!
    Oats ARE one of the oiliest grains (and don’t mill in a NutriMill). Oat GROATS are the WHOLE grain from which one process step gives us rolled oats. The oil has already begun to absorb some into the starchy part of the grain. Still minimal processing and no additives. The ‘whirr’ in the processer simply makes the cooking liquid absorb faster. All grain (once cracked from the hull) should be stored in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.

    Oh YAY!
    I think you’ll be happy trying them. You can add some season/extract as they cook to make you’re own version of a favorite. 1/2 a really ripe banana (mushed or cut), some walnut or pecans, and maple syrup or brown sugar, dash of cinnamon/nutmeg. Give it a try!

    You know, you just …
    You know, you just saved me money tomorrow. I had both “old fashioned oats”, which I use in my baking, meatloaf, etc. and I had “quick oats”, which we use for making oatmeal, on my grocery list. Well, unless they have my favorite flavored instant oatmeal as a “buy one get one free”, I’m not going to be buying any quick or instant oats. And it’s rare that they place Banana Nut Bread oatmeal on sale.
