Not really. A canister of instant oats costs the same $4 as a canister of old fashioned.

If you mean the packets, yeah, but not by much. Going by Walmart prices here, but it's under $4 for a box of 20.

Real life hack- pour boiling water on instant oats in a bowl. Add salt, maple syrup or sugar as desired. Let sit five minutes and mix. Just as good as instant oatmeal in the packet.

I don't know one person that uses steel oats to save money or doesn't buy yogurtS due to expense . Not one. I think when most people get to that point they are getting government funding which includes yogurts etc
Personally I wouldn't advise making a big deal about the foods my kids eat As long as it's within reason I def wouldn't make them feel we can't afford for them to eat something . I can only imagine how scary that would be for a child to feel there isn't Enough food. You can refuse purchases and say "we don't need it" or snack bags are special for school. Trauma from the way you discuss money is real
