My grocery stores used COVID-19 as an excuse to permanently remove their bulk bins. The closest store to me that still has them is a 90 minute ride on public transit, with two very timing-precise bus transfers. And I still need to walk about a mile on top of it.
I think you misunderstood me, I’m talking about the like tubular tubs of generic oatmeal that’s in the oatmeal aisle at the store. It’s pretty much the same as in every store I’ve ever been in America. It’s not a special bulk bin item that I’m aware of.
Oh, they don’t sell those here anymore, either. Or at least, they’ve transitioned exclusively to only stocking premium brands that are gluten free organic carbon neutral oats that the farmer read poetry to, for twice the price.

This is an example of what I’m talking about https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-100-Whole-Grain-Old-Fashioned-Oats-42-oz/10314925
I know what you’re talking about. They aren’t in the stores near me anymore.
Damn wtf that’s been a staple since forever.
