Rolled or steel cut oats in bulk in montreal

[Ghostquatre]

Hey guys, I'm going to start a diet very heavy in oats and I was thinking of ordering these 25/50lbs bags online, but before I do that I wanna make sure if I can find a better/decent deal in Montreal, so I won't have to wait for shipping.

Points given if
it's close to the plateau
it costs around 1$ per pound
won't need to buy hueg quantities for good price (I have no car, but I wouldn't mind hauling huge bags by public transit)

Way late to this thread, but we've found 2 pound bags of rolled oats for $2.19 at Amira:

(Lots of other good stuff there too.

)

Still looking to beat this price by buying larger quantities, but hope for that is dwindling.

Segal's on St Laurent, near Duluth, has I think the best price on Bob's steel cut oats, at around $3 a bag, compared to $5 at most other places

Yeah I go to Segal very regularly and I checked their oats. The bags they have are quite small and I am not looking for organic oats because of my budget. I ended up buying a 1.35kg robinhood quick oats bag for bout three fitty

I'm really looking for bulk here and the bulk barns in Longueuil and DDO are way too far

...but a diet very heavy in oats?

Thanks for the link

Yes a diet heavy in oats.
I'm a lifter and I do a lot of other intense exercises and I got quite a tight budget and I was getting tired of wolfing down meals consisting mainly of 2 cups (uncooked) chickpeas and various beans to get my fix in protein and complex carbs.
