Where is all the evaporated milk?

And plenty in my local Lidl too today, at 65p each.

None in Lidl and none in Sainsbury yesterday.

I've been trying to get 170g tins from Morrisons, Tesco & Sainsbury's (in West Yorkshire) for the last 3 weeks, but they only have the Carnation brand in this size (double the price). The supermarkets have the larger size, but this isn't useful for a single person household.

What do you use it for? I live alone and would be quite happy to store the content of a full sized tin for a week in the fridge and use it up to make creamy coffee. Using up the remainder of a 59p tin enhances my afternoon coffee ritual at a fraction of the price of buying a coffee out.

I'm not sure how much demand there will be for the 170g tins, given the pricing.
e.g. in Sainsbury's, 170g is 49p and 410g is 55p.  A tiny difference in price for more than double the amount.

Waitrose still has the 170g tins for 60p (if you are within striking distance of Meanwood or Otley).

Open the tin, decant half into a clean container, pop it in the freezer? I've done this before with similar products where I wouldn't use it in a reasonable time once open.

Some of it could be in our kitchen cupboards.  We are very fond of it.  😺

I use it on fruit pies and steamed puddings. Sorry, coffee has to be black.

My mum found Tesco only had big tins of it, which she doesn't want.
It's odd because in years gone by they always had small tins.
