    i'm searching for lo-salt or table salt & can't find anything on Tesco.com, am i having a senior moment or what?? :o

    Please remember that the availability online should reflect the longer term availability in the store that sends you your delivery.

    In our store we have been unable to get salt/lo salt since people panic bought a few weeks ago. I would say that in total we had about 2 months supply go in 2 days. Since then we can have had about half a dozen cases in all together.

    We had a similar position with diswaher salt ( although to be fair not cat litter which was shown as an alternative on TV) but we had some come in at the end of last week.

    It seems to be listed here:

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Salt_And_Pepper/Lo_Salt_Reduced_Sodium_Salt_Alternative_350g.html

    for Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco. Of course, whether that means they actually have any is another matter!

    i checked sainsburys, asda and ocado for salt adn it was in stock but not at tesco but it depends on the area i bet

    I called them about this last night as couldn't find it, appently in my case it's down to my Home shopping store having none of it in stock, as the demand for it with the snow recenlty cleared them out. Not sure why it's not back in stock yet tho

    We haven't had any in stock since the cold snap. Everything went out and it basically cleared out all the depots in the north of England. Not sure about other parts of the country. We have been told to expect it when it turns up.
    If you find you are drinking too much give this number a call. 0845 769 7555

    thanks for all your replies :)

    seems i'm in a salt deprevation area!, along with a few others. just goes to show how finely balanced stock levels are on some things, a bit of panic buying & it all goes t1ts up! :D

    now looks like a good time to go from lo-salt to no-salt then, i suppose it' will be healthier...

    Our Tesco store (manchester) had none for weeks (since the snow), they sold out completely overnight, and still have none in stock to this day, everyone around here bought them to clear their driveways of snow\ice.

    Asda don't have any either.

    FWIW my local Tesco had loads of Lo-Salt on the 'Managers Special' clearance shelf a few days ago - probably at something like half-price.
