Where has all the tomato puree gone????

Options
Seriously!

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a national shortage? I'm talking about the stuff in tubes, a storecupboard staple, I usually buy Tesco or Sainsbury's own brand.

Even tried Asda at the weekend but they had none either...

    I've see it recently but can't remember where is was, it was definately at a cheaper shop either Aldi/Lidl/Farm Foods. Think it was probably Farm Foods.

    This thread has had me in fits of giggles - I thought it was just me but I've had tomato puree on my shopping list for about 6 weeks as the Tesco in Sandhurst (Berks) has not had any for AGES! I have been asking everywhere!

    I found some in my closest big Sainsbury's the other week and they only had a few left.

    The Tomato Puree saga continues....!
