Wilko Orange Flavoured Antacid Tablets 500mg 72 Pack

product code 0482542

£2.00

... currently out of stock.

That's the case for most own brand Wilko products at the moment. I believe The Range took over the brand when they went out of business and remains to be seen what they will bring back under the Wilko brand. 

I found their own brand medical products very good and VFM.

Although I thought the staff were top notch* the only stuff I would buy on a regular basis was wild bird food plus occasional gardening and kitchen things.

The Wilko wild bird food is available, but not the others mentioned.

* My town's Wilko was reopened as Poundland about a week ago. Although they were actively attempting to recruit (ex) Wilko staff they don't appear to have been successful.

Vegetarian jelly (not the RTE pots) - have looked for this since before last Christmas without success - so no trifle. Am trying to avoid such things these days anyway so am now less bothered.

Have you considered Quick Gel?

My Nan always used this for sweet flans and I have carried on.

I miss the Sarah Lee Pecan danish i used to buy in Makro. Also the round tube length of hard liquorice that was stamped at the end.
Anyone know what happened to Pears transluscent soap, the two , one blue & one green that came in addition to the regular amber bar ?

IIRC Wisp I've seen another Pears soap colour in somewhere like Savers/B+M. Can't remember if it was the blue or the green one but I think green...

Herrings, as they have now wades of farmed Bass all over the counter tops which is essentially dry protein; its almost impossible to get omega 3 rich oily herrings

would have thought Lidl would be a good bet for herring.  they certainly have had a lot of the pickled stuff lately.  Maybe it was Tesco that had some fresh ones a while back?  Love them breaded in oatmeal and fried for breakfast.  Then again when I was in Bruges I had a grand time going to the fish market early in the morning to have the matjes (raw herrings) and genever (raw gin).  It does rather set oneself up for the day!!!

Herrings one of my favorite meals.
We always looked forward to sometime in May or early June to having Herring in oatmeal with new season tatties, usually Ayrshire or Ulster along with spring cabbage.When that was on the menu we knew new season produce was on the way and could say bye to last years root vegetables or any fruit from last season which were all getting past their best by then.

They are Readily available. One example here https://bradleysfish.com/product/herrings-whole/?gclid=CjwKCAiA9dGqBhAqEiwAmRpTC-ES-eW37Mt3vHe4LrYPnSMtNbPDCHKjMXab6esOJxZzcn9MmvJJchoCzrEQAvD_BwE

Kippers are smoked herrings. I get Young's brand with butter, from Iceland. 

I used to buy rollmop herrings a lot, but won't now, even from Totally Swedish, ScandiKitchen or Europa Food. They all seem to contain rapeseed oil and preservatives now. I have switched to Latvian sprats and Icelandic cod liver 😊
