    There is still a space for it in Aldi- with a price ticket -so it looks as if they do still stock it (sometimes!!)

    I've also experienced stocks out for weeks on end - why ..... are milk products difficult to source ???
    I thought it was just my local, small, branch of Tesco but it would appear not.
    I think the problem is getting the tins as there is a global shortage of aluminium.

    It was back in stock briefly at my local Sainsbury so i bought another 4 tins, its now out of stock again.
    None in Aldi or Lidl (though Lidl has huge amounts of condensed milk)
    Its in Asda and Morrisons but its 99p in Morrisons.

    no problems in my area at all so it must be a regional thing oddly x

    If this was genuinely the case a baked bean shortage would have hit the headlines by now!
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
  • Tins of the sort that evaporated milk, baked beans, soup etc. come in are made of steel coated in tinplate.

    Aluminium cans are the thin, flexible ones mainly used for soft drinks.
