    Can't say I've ever noticed products disappearing.

    Take it from me, they DO.

    Then you can only buy the next version up, at a bigger price margin.

    Plus sometimes these products don't come back on the shelf.

    Seems you don't 'look' to much in what you are buying or paying for a product.

    A custard emergency? You live and learn :D

    Actually one thing I have learned relatively recently is that I eat like an absolute pauper compared to most folk :o

    Or it could be that the items that disappear are not the items Torry buys.

    Just looking through this thread so far. If all brands of Kippers, coleslaw, chicken roll, fizzy sparkly chardonnay, Cremant de Jura and even chicken nuggets disappeared off the face of the earth I would never notice.

    Or alternatively, Torry could be so caught up in the mirth and true meaning of Christmas to care?

    Are you insinuating that these may be non-essential items...? :eek:

    I'm sure there are some people for whom this is their weekly shopping list.

    I have noticed a lot of the bakery items at this time of year become 'all butter'............ where normally they are non dairy. Very annoying and my smaller children can't understand why their toasted muffins are no longer on the table but reappear in January. Best stock up the freezer if I want a quiet life.

    That's true, but I would hope it is too early for that :eek:

    Value custard? Sounds disgusting.

    We've used Basics custard, it's better than you think!
