I’m not sure why they sell instant porridge? – the stuff out of the box  is pretty instant if you ask me !

Looking at groceries and prices, it’s a pretty simple concept that over packaged items not only waste resources but cost more. I have used pre-packaged porridge on some ski camping trips just for convenience, however, next time a zip lock bag will do the trick,

Here’ s what I do
