"Health food stores" are often notoriously overpriced. We're talking
"natural foods markets" which perhaps you don't have in your area. Wild Oats
and Whole Foods Market are but two chains of such stores. There are many
other regional markets like this as well. I recently saw steel cut or "pin
head" oats for sale at Whole Foods Market for $1.49/lb.
