Oats & Prices @ Kuwait Market & some DIY hair treatment solutions using Oatmeal

An Englishman and a Scotsman were discussing oats. The Englishman, with his nose in the air said     

"In England we feed oats to our horses, and in Scotland you feed oats to your men...",

to which the Scotsman replied      

 

"...that's why in England you have such fine horses and in Scotland we have such fine men!" :P :P

In continuation to one of my previous post :  

 

Oats - A case study 

 

which is all about the common doubts that we have about Oats...... What is all with these different types..steel cut, rolled, old fashioned, latest fashioned.. ;), quick cooking..slow cooking.... which type can be used for what type of cooking...does the health benefits vary with each types...so so on.....

 

this, however is specifically for those here in Kuwait, about the different varities available in the market, WITH the PRICE TAGS...and of course, some interesting DIY hair care solutions using OATS.

 

Never thought of that ?? Read on...

 

 

Went shopping last weekend..kids were back home...hubs was browsing elsewhere..so the happy-me got some perfectly "me" time to peacefully look around the aisle and be clicking specifically having this post in mind.

 

The most colourful was this Instant flavoured Oats section. Literally..any flavour...with fruits, nuts, spices...PRESENT SIR !  The Indian savoury ones are yet to hit the market thou. (pictures clicked @ LuLu Hyper market, Kuwait)

 

 

At around KD 1.700 - KD 1.900 they are about 10 (or 8 ??) individual serving sachets per pack. Handy for a quicky     on-the-go run. Just add hot water and M/W or leave on counter top for a few minutes.

 

 

Dont get the logic here. Old fashioned and Quick cooking ones both at the same price !! KD 2.250. I would in this case definitely go for the old fashioned one as the second seems to be highlt priced for this particular packing.

 

 

 

Same here... Quick Cooking Rolled Oats and Old Fashioned Rolled ones..again at the same pricing. KD 1.640. hmmm... Again, would go for the Old fashioned in this case too...

 

 

Bob's Organic Red Mill-Steel cuts  @KD 2.140 for 680 gms.

 

 

 

 

 500 gms Oatmeal - less than 1/2 KD .

 



 

 

while this brand is definitely much highly priced than the previous. KD 1.850 for a less than 1/2 kg pack.

 

And , now for some Did You Know facts...

 

Unrelated to oatmeal the food, there is a town in Texas called Oatmeal. It's 56 Miles northwest of Austin putting it nearly smack dab in the very middle of the state.

 

 

 

 I'm not sure if they eat oatmeal in Oatmeal, but it's a curious fact none the less (or maybe not). !!!!

 

Did You Know ...

Oatmeal can be a best sudstitute to a deep conditioner for hair.

Did You Know ...

 

Oatmeal does a great job as a dry shampoo as well. Seriosuly !!
 

 

You can use oats and baking powder to create your own dry shampoo right at home. Rd.com suggests, “Put 1 cup oatmeal in the blender and grind it into a fine powder. Add 1 cup baking soda, and mix well. Rub a bit of the mixture into your hair. Give it a minute or two to soak up the oils, then brush or shake it out of your hair (preferably over a towel or bag to avoid getting it all over)

More about it here.  

Hope this post was helpful to you, as much it is to me.
