I would say 4 or 5 years, maybe longer. I know that regular oats will stay good if sealed and kept at 70 degrees will be fine for about 8 to 10 years. Since quick oats are basically precooked it may shorten the storage life, but I could be wrong on that. I sure someone else will have a better answer.
Quaker Quick oats...
Local liquidation center has a pile of these in in large resturaunt size tubs.. What kind of storage life can I get out of these in mylar?
Thanks in advance...

If you read the order form at the LDS Provident Living site, it says that quick oats storage life is 30 years (with proper packaging and storage in a dry place at or below 75 degrees F (24 degrees C)). Note: It's the same storage life as the regular oats.

Any idea on the individual flavored packets? I like to mix the Quaker Cinnamon Roll with the Peaches and Cream (I pick a couple up whenever they're Buy One Get One) to make 'peach cobbler' oatmeal- a treat I am sure to miss after TEOTWAWKI!
It's one of the few processed food treats I allow myself, and only because 'oatmeal is good for you'! I know it has added ingredients, and I'm sure moisture would be the main issue; maybe it's best I just store like and kind ingredients and improvise? I do have most of them on hand...

I have no idea on that. If it were me, I'd put them in pouches or a very large glass jar (to keep bugs out) and try to rotate them based on the manufactured date.Any idea on the individual flavored packets?

If you run out in a post-htf situation, I would have the stuff on hand to make a mock peaches and cream.
I had a box of apple and cinnammon in my auto survival kit for 10 years. Every year I'd sample a pack and ended up eating them all. No Problems.
Just purchased two new boxes for the winter car kit.:thumb:

I would make individual packs vacuum seal them then put them in 5 gal buckets.
