Make my own brown sugar oatmeal. The big tubes of plain instant oats are cheap. I add a spoonful of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon. Saves about 50% off the packets. Not much, but it adds up if 2 people have oatmeal every morning.
Brown sugar is usually manufactured by taking white sugar and adding molasses to it. you can save money by doing that yourself, plus it doesn't cake up anymore.
