Where is all the tomato purée?!

Just that really. Been to 3 different supermarkets & had a shop delivered, no tomato purée to be had anywhere! Not even the little tins.

Anyone else or just my little corner of Essex? Confused

I got some little tins with my delivery- I didn’t realise there was a nationwide shortage! Last month was tinned sweetcorn

We have loads in the Midlands

Thesearmsofmine · 18/10/2020 14:11

I’ve had this recently too. I usually keep a couple of the tubes in my cupboard as I use it quite often but haven’t been able to get any recently.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 18/10/2020 14:21

Come to Portsmouth - we have loads

onlyreadingneverposting8 · 18/10/2020 14:44

Had the same problem this week - also in Essex!

sofiessofa · 18/10/2020 14:44

None in this part of Scotland either!

CoffeeInAnIV · 18/10/2020 14:50

None in this part of South Wales either.

Inmyownlittlecorner · 18/10/2020 14:55

None in North London either. I finally found an expensive tube in an Italian deli!

DisgruntledGuineaPig · 18/10/2020 15:12

None in Kent! Seems every other week there's something else you can't get. Our food supply system seems close to the edge again.

I bought twelfty million( twenty four) in Costco a few years ago, I opened my last one, last week, I have just put two tubes in my online shopping basket.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thelnebriati · 18/10/2020 15:47

I can only get massive tins from the cash and carry supermarket or trays of them online.

myhobbyisouting · 18/10/2020 15:49

Sainsbury's were out of tomato purée yesterday and online Asda also. Northwest

Sweet corn and Worcester sauce is a similar story and brown sauce disappeared for a while

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/10/2020 15:51

Lidl’s out too. I thought it was just that branch but it seems not.

LadyLindaT · 18/10/2020 15:53

I have been having the same issue with Fish Stock Cubes.
(A bit niche, I know!)

Councilworker · 18/10/2020 15:54

Lidl and Morrison's out in my corner of Greater Manchester

Wilma55 · 18/10/2020 15:57

No lasagne sheets round here in supermarkets. Luckily available in Italian shops (Bedford)

Anotherdayanotherdisappointmen · 18/10/2020 16:00

Its all in my pantry..my mil brought me tomato puree and tinned tomatoes by the truck load during the last lockdown..I did tell her it'd take me months and months to get through and I didn't need it but she insisted. Sorry

RosieLemonade · 18/10/2020 16:29

We have it in Norfolk. There’s tons we don’t have but we have that.

AuntImmortelle · 18/10/2020 16:34

Yes agreed. I've not been able to get any the last three shops. London.

Gingerbeerfear · 18/10/2020 16:36

Same here! Found some in B&M after looking everywhere

icebearforpresident · 18/10/2020 17:41

None in my local SW Scotland Sainsbury’s, I’ve been needing it for weeks. Had some stashed away (I gave a small box of essentials i’ve been gathering for months in case the shops go bonkers again) and running which I opened but that’s now running out and I still can’t get it. Passata as well, can’t get it.

thenightsky · 18/10/2020 18:03

Plenty of it in lincolnshire.

Sewrainbow · 18/10/2020 18:07

None in my part of west Midlands

cobpickles · 18/10/2020 18:26

I got mine yesterday in Lidl. There was loads of it

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/10/2020 18:27

No canned apricots for months either.
