Grape-Nuts COVID pandemic cereal shortage is over, says Post

Post Consumer Brands announced today that the national shortage of the beloved cereal, Grape-Nuts, is over as shipping is back to full capacity.

And, the brand said, it will reimburse anyone who paid “inflated prices” for the cereal that was going for as much as $110 a box on the secondary market during the “pandemic-related shortage.”

“It became abundantly clear during the shortage that Grape-Nuts fans are ‘Nuts for Grape-Nuts,’” said Kristin DeRock, Grape-Nuts brand manager at Post Consumer Brands.

“So much so that some of our loyal super fans were willing to pay extreme prices just to ensure they wouldn’t be without their favorite crunchy cereal. As a way to show our appreciation and thank these fans for their dedication, we want to repay the love by reimbursing them.”

Fans who paid $10 or more for a box of the cereal between Nov. 1, 2020, and March 15, 2021, “are eligible to submit a valid retailer or e-retailer receipt for a partial refund of up to $115 to help cover the difference between the amount paid and the suggested retail price of the Grape-Nuts Original cereal box purchased.”

You can submit receipts until April 15.
