I need my Grape-Nut Flakes back on the shelves. Breakfast just isn't the same without them. Please bring them back to Taunton, Massachusetts.

I finally found Grape Nut Flakes in my local Food City in Chattanooga. It was even on sale. I had two bowls last night. So glad it is back. The flavor is still the same.

Not sure I believe Post's response of a shortage in production schedule to accommodate the most popular items. In the several stores I have been in, GNF was the only Post cereal that was bare and all the rest were fully stocked. GNF sells very well in the stores that I shop in that carry it.

Post better not discontinue Grape Nut Flakes. It is a delicious cereal. It's funny that they cannot produce this cereal but it's one of the flakes in Honey bunches of Oats. Would they not have to produce it to put it in that cereal? My fear is the shelf space at stores for GNF will now go to other cereals.

Here's Post's reply to my to my question about what has happened to the availability of Grape Nuts Flakes: "The item you are looking for may be out of stock for 2-5 months due to adjustments in our production schedules to ensure the items in highest demand are available. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. We will continue to work to get all of our items back on shelves as soon as possible." So the good news is GNF has not been discontinued. It seems like the huge demand for cereal caused by the pandemic has led Post to concentrate production on the brands they sell the most. GNF just seems to be another victim of COVID-19. Let's hope it recovers!

On a recent hunt for Grape Nuts Flakes, I was able to find 2 boxes for $5.75 each. The store manager noticed that the expiration date on them was April 2020, so he offered me $10 off the cost of the 2 boxes. He didn't know when (or IF) he would ever get another delivery of this cereal, so I may have finished the last 2 boxes of this cereal on earth. Lucky me....the quality of the cereal was perfect even though it had passed its expiration date.

Sadly, Grape-Nuts Flakes are VERY hard to find. I called the 1-800 number and the folks at Post say it's not being discontinued (as of June 2019). However, the lions share of my local grocery stores no longer carry GNF. If I see it anywhere for under $4/box, I'm gonna snatch em all. LOVE this cereal.

What is the matter with a company that ignores the wishes of their customers? The Post people ARE the ones at fault. I checked with a manager of our local Wegman's store here in VA and he says that he hasn't been able to get them any more. Ditto for Walmart.

Grape Nuts Flakes is one of my top 3 favorite cereals of all time! It's simple and more nutrition-oriented than most but the flavor defies the ingredients. Even though it has a relatively low sugar content, I have never needed to add any sweetener. Apparently the way it's made produces a unique sweetening effect that is also present (but not as pronounced) in regular Grape Nuts. I have eaten this cereal for 30+ years and never tire of it - though I do switch around what I eat for variety.

I was sad to see Walmart stop carrying Grape Nuts Flakes last year (2017) here in Oregon. The only place I've been able to buy it lately is WinCo. Walmart, please bring this cereal back! And please Post, never discontinue this product! It is one of the few great tasting, healthier cereals of all time! David L.

It appears the folks reviewing GRAPE-NUTS FLAKES are all fans who are hurting from the decline in availability. Not all of their hurt is caused by Post. GNFs are still available in some stores, scattered around the country and on various sites on the Net but every where I see them they are price inflated. While most cereals are priced in the $3.00 to $4.00 range in stores GNFs are always $5.00 or more. On the internet sites the price seems to run between $5.00 and $7.50 per box, plus shipping. Most sites want you to buy multiple boxes to further increase their sales volume. Pursuit of the old profit bug-a-boo I guess. Gross more dollars and to heck with other peoples problems.

Of course supply and (especially) demand could contributed to some availability problems. But thanks to grandma and grandpa AND to mom and pop, kids of this and the previous generation has been liberally inundated with all of the readily available sweet and sugar covered things one sees in stores these days. How can they know any better? If kids learn to select foods by sweetness instead flavor how can they be expected to appreciate the delicate and nutty smoothness of GRAPE-NUTS FLAKES? So that again goes to reduced demand and there-fore reduced profits, hence reduced supply. Vicious circle, huh?

I, too, regret the loss of the old style larger flakes. They kept the crunch to the bottom of the bowl.

I've always loved Grape-Nut Flakes, but the actual flakes seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Liked them better when they were the size of most bran and corn flakes. The small flakes turn to mush not long after they're drenched in milk.

GNF was the # 1 most unpopular cereal with kids in the mid-50s. Elderly people loved it for its health values but kids had to have it jack-hammered down their throats, using Hop-A-Long Cassidy, Fords, Mercurys, trucks, appliances, and other assorted toys to get them to eat the horrid stuff!

I remember (as shown in the photos of the old boxes) when Hopalong Cassidy was on the boxes of Grape-Nut Flakes. That's, of course, when his radio and television shows were sponsored by that product. Just a few years later, it was Roy Rogers on the boxes when his Sunday TV show was sponsored by Grape-Nut Flakes.

There is one problem with the new size box the new box is 18OZ from 14OZ and it is way to tall for a normal lazy susan or cabinet, they should have made the box wider instead.

I love this cereal (Grapenut Flakes) and there is only one store here in CT where I can buy it. However the last two boxes l had purchased must be lacking a little quality control. They were both loaded with burnt flakes. I never saw this before and was wondering if they might be experiencing some problem which I assume will eliminate these little black flakes. Thanks for a great cereal.
