Sorry, but Trump did NOT kill the affordability issue. Case in point - The seemingly American staple of Quaker Oats

[PeaceWave]

Who knew that Quaker Oats gets their oats from Canada? No wonder the boxes have gone up 50% since the last time I bought them. Quaker Oats, all subject to Trump's tariffs on Canada:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaker_Oats_Plant

The Quaker Oats Plant is the largest cereal mill in the world, located in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States, alongside the Cedar River, originally founded in 1873, rebuilt after a fire in 1905. It employs about 740 people and produces various cereal products from Canadian sourced oats, including traditional rolled oats and oatmeal.

1. Northern gold oats

Buying 42oz. boxes for 2.50$ at Woodmans. Quaker got too much a long time ago, almost 6$ i think

2. So that's why my oatmeal has doubled. Quaker Oats are about

$2 or $ dollars more than the 2 generic brands. Even the generic brands are are up. I used to p
ay about $3 for the large canister. Now I think it's over $6.

Oatmeal is a serious part of a lot of people's diets. It was cheap and easy to prepare and it's healthy.

6. OMG that explains why I haven't been able to find my favorite oatmeal at my

local grocery store for weeks now. They doubled the price of Quaker, then they just stopped stocking it. The store brand (which I also noticed was made in Canada) sold for half the price but hasn't been in stock for months. Terrible.
