    Porridge Oats in LIDL,
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Tesco sell boxes of oats as well as the pre-packaged microwave version.
    Most health food shops will also sell oats. - Holland and Barretts sell 1kg bags for a £1

    In answer to your original question - No.

    All supermarkets near me sell porridge oats, never bought Quaker Oats but if they are a breakfast cereal I am sure they would be available too.

    No shortage here - I usually buy the value brands as they are just as good (to me anyway) but noticed Scotts & Quaker when I was picking mine up in Morrisons

    Not tried them myself as I am no fan of porridge, more a VALUE FRUIT AND FIBRE kind of girl...64p for 500g
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
