So there it is.... the new Organic Oatmeal at Flying Star.
Until about 2 months ago, oatmeal at the Flying Star was a modest affair, in a medium to large bowl, depending on the person working. It was garnished with cinnamon and raisins and served with milk and brown sugar, and priced at $2.99.
Now, the Organic Oatmeal is garnished with cinnamon, served with a container of dried cranberries, walnuts, brown sugar (though the ratio of walnuts could be higher) and milk..... and it costs $4.59.
For me, this is not tragic. For a college student, it could mean more trips to the Frontier. (Although, now that I think of it, that breakfast burrito that was $2.69 in my college days is now pushing $4.50 after tax...)
Here is my one sentence review of the oatmeal - it tastes the same, but I like the addition of walnuts. The portion size seems a little smaller but not egregiously so.
I will devote an entire post to what I call the "Flying Star Feud", but for now I'll just say the new oatmeal is perfectly fine and the cost is defensible. Let the mudslinging begin, while I just sit at the counter and sip my coffee, refill after refill....
