Where I live, buying rolled oats off the shelf from a regular grocery store will run you $0.00244 per gram. A serving of oats as indicated by the packaging is 3/4 cups or 65.7g of oats by weight. That works out to a whopping $0.1647 per serving. Prices are fairly average if not a little higher where I live so yes most people can get oats for $0.20 a serving. The secret is probably not buying at whole foods. Honey can be a bit more expensive, for me it's about $0.012 per gram when not on sale. I use around a tablespoon in the morning so that's about 21.25g by weight which gives $0.255 in cost. Once again, that's hardly unmanageable on a daily basis. I don't know how much cinnamon you generally put in your oatmeal but a couple of shakes usually does it for me, not sure what it would be if measured but certainly less than 1/4 tsp. and it takes me a long time to go through a bottle (125g) or bag if I buy the cheaper stuff and refill a bottle ;) so the couple dollars I spend on it only gets shelled out every 2 - 3 months.
