Tesco Instant Hot Oat Cereal

I like Ready Brek but when there are cheaper alternatives on the market that are just as good, I refuse to pay more. I will buy any of the cheaper versions including this one from Tesco which is just £1.32 for a 750g box. The main difference between this and the standard porridge is the fact that the oats are much, much finer. The oats are very easy to make up but they do make a real mess.

A nice quick way to start the day with porridge, without the fuss of getting any pans out or standing ...  Read the complete review
