  • No chopped tomatoes at Tesco in Carlisle. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
  • Aldi and Lidl have tons of the stuff at 25p per tube (I think). Great stuff too.
  • there is no conspirisy.Its the end of the season.Supermarkets buy tinned tomatos in a year in advance,often around sep,oct one or two lines may run out.Once the new contracts are agreed the suppliers release the new seasons stock.

    Then they need to sack their buyers for not managing their stocks correctly.

    And perhaps bring in a back up plan.

    It's not good enough I tell you!

    I thought it was because our local Tesco had a massive re-org. The tomato section has shrunk to about 1/3 of it's previous size. (that small that I had to get an assistant to help me find it!). Didn't realise it was part of a nationwide crisis!
    Now proud Mumto3 :j
  • Tescos in Kidderminster have some (should this be on Grabitwhileyoucan?:rotfl: )

    But they havent had any for ages and ages and ages!! And they keep changing the price, one week its 33p and the next time (when its in stock) its 24p:confused:

    What is going on????

    By the way, this thread has made me laugh and laugh.....
    Any fool can pay full price!!
  • None in Tesco Poole - have been trying to order tomato puree on my delivery for a month now without success! Thought it was a bit weird....
