Forgot to mention: I spent 4-5 years in which I ate oatmeal every day (and some nights) while in the process of eliminating debt. It's highly versatile; you can change the flavor dramatically with the addition of different fruit, spices, and nuts/seeds. It stores in bulk for long periods of time. It is very easy to prepare. It is highly cost effective, is fairly nutritious alone, and easily keeps you full for hours on end. I really consider it a superfood in terms of cost vs. nutrition. Add some flax seeds, apples, cinnamon, and a bit of honey and not much can beat it.
