Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Our family LOVES this cereal. I used to buy it regularly at the local Safeway. Unfortunately, as with the experience of many others, the local grocery store no longer carries it.
When buying it at Safeway, I could find it quite often "on sale" for $2 per box - and that box was larger than the paltry 14-ouncers Amazon is peddling here (can't recall, but I believe it was an 18 oz size)
A LITTLE ARITHMETIC:
1. If I was buying 18 oz for $2, the price was 11 cents an ounce (even if the boxes were 14 oz, the price still would have been 14.3 cents per oz).
2. Amazon is selling us 6 14 oz boxes (84 oz) for $25.14 (and telling us it is "discounted" from $28.89!). This amounts to 30 cents an ounce. You can get it down to 25.4 cents an ounce IF you agree to regular interval deliveries - something I'd be GLAD to do for the RIGHT PRICE!
NOTE: At 30 cents an ounce, we are paying $4.80 per pound - I can buy several punds of chicken, hamburger, or even a pretty good steak for that per-pound price.
CONCLUSION: this great product seems to have disappeared from the local store shelves and, in order to get it, we now have to pay 2 to 3 times as much making grape nut flakes more costly than many meats. I suspect that this is very profitable and I'd rather be a seller than a buyer!!
If anyone know of better pricing options, please post them!
Also, POST and AMAZON, if you are listening, PLEASE see if you couldn't provide this absolutely great product at a little better price. Many thanks for reading.
