Vapemail, my Dovpo arrived this am, which is strange
seeing as according to FT my Smart 20 was posted
6 days earlier, off for a play now
I had a red Smart-20 despatched on Dec 15th. It's showing as on it's way to an overseas country! .....probably on a raft!
I like ginger biscuits and cakes as well, Sainsburys used to do a ginger thins biscuit, which wasn't as hard as the usual ones, but like all good things, they suddenly stopped doing them, got six cans of DG Old Jamaican Ginger Beer sat on the floor behind me waiting to be opened as well
I used to love the red label Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale, and then it got replaced with the green label 'American' dry ginger, and now it's all the green label version - far too sweet and ruins the taste ..especially in a whisky or brandy!
Why do supermarkets do that?
You find something you like.Next time you go for it they no longer carry it in stock.
OR the packet has those awful words "New Recipe"printed across it and they've ruined the product.
I've found the worse for this is Tesco.
Mini rant complete ;-)
We've had that too, and mostly with Tesco. Back in January 2012, we changed the way we buy food - husband found to be intolerant to statins, so took it into our own hands and began buying food with lower fat content. I can already think of four ready to cook items that suited us perfectly and tasted excellent, only to have them discontinued! We're not fans of mass produced chicken items, but now they don't have the Steak Bolognese Bake, low fat Lamb Moussaka, low fat Cod & Chips, & have replaced a few other beef or lamb ones with a chicken or vegetarian option.
These ready to cook ones are a very easy way to see exactly how much fat, salt & sugar we're eating in one meal, so we do use those 2-3 times each week.
On the plus side, they have a lot of fresh fruit salads and low fat yoghurts etc. and a very good Caesar salad!
I'll bet the 'new recipe' ones are where they can't screw their current suppliers prices lower so go somewhere new!
I don't like it when favourites disappear. I've seen it happen to a number of their best sellers.
