Basic/Value Crisps

I usually buy these in either Tesco or Sainsburys, but they haven't been in either of my local stores for a couple of weeks and the gap is filled with Walkers, asked a young lad filling up, but he didn't know. Just wondering if it's all stores and anyone know why?

Not had chance to go to Asda, has anyone seen them in there and tried them?

Thanks :)

    They have not been in our Tesco for a month or so now. The gap is filled with the value cheese puffs/onion ring multipack
    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

    Yes managed to get them one week, but they have gone now too.

    Sains ones did go greasy so we changed to Tesco ones, which were great.

    There was a thread by cooltriker (sp?) warning about this last week some time.
    It seems that it is the basic items they start removing around now to start to fit in the christmas ranges. I will try to find the thread for you.
    I have not tried basic crisps but Lidl £1.99 for 24pkts are better than walkers.

    We have started to get the Everyday Tesco multipacks of onion rings, cheese puffs, salt and vinegar sticks. They are great value and we enjoy them!

    The Lidl 24 pkts are now £2.15, they put them up a couple of weeks ago. The Aldi ones are still £1.99 though.
