I hope you will reconsider your decision to replace Barbara’s mashed potato flakes with Turkey Gravy. I think the mashed potatoes are bought more consistently than the gravy, which I expect is more in demand during the November-December holidays.

The mashed potato flakes are no longer being manufactured by Barbara’s—it was the company’s decision, not the co-op’s. We’ve brought in another instant mashed potato of comparable quality, and it seems to be selling very well; look for the Natural Mash in the big blue box on the top shelf, in Aisle 4.
