Even though Post Cereals bought out the NABISCO brand name years ago, this cereal is just the way you remember it. There's a toasty tasty quality to it as you crunch through those marvelously long strands of wheat that is totally missing in the little spoon size stuff that you still might find on SOME grocery shelves, but even that number of shelves is dwindling. These Big Biscuits come three to a pack inside your big box of six packs. They stay much fresher than the little spoon size version too, but the taste is the big thing. Unfortunately they have been missing from local grocery store shelves for about three years now. Those in the grocery chain headquarters are moving adult cereals off the shelves in favor of more sugar coated stuff, but lest you think that the good stuff is not being produced any longer, I BRING YOU TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY.
I called customer relations at Post's headquarters and spoke to a sincere, attendant lady who checked twice to be sure she was right, and her pronouncement to me was that EVERY SINGLE DISTRIBUTION CENTER in the Post Cereal network had ample quantities to ship Big Biscuit Shredded Wheat to ANY grocery chain in the USA. It's just that so few of them want to bother with this as more and more new and different boxes of sugar coated stuff demands all the space.
There is a nationally known discount Super Store chain—you know the one, it begins with a W—that will ship a supply of this to a local store, then you can go pick it up when they notify you that it has arrived. The trouble is that they want you to spend a minimum total amount that is much higher than what you can buy it for here. If you do not want to spend that minimum then you can buy just this cereal for its advertised price PLUS a $35.99 SHIPPING CHARGE.
I choose to do my business with Amazon and its Marketplace partners who often provide their products at prices equal to local stores, and with NO shipping charges in many cases.
