I saw some satsumers for sale at a farm shop this morning...yes, I did point out their error...😂

Audreyseyebrows · 23/12/2020 13:43

Stuck on trucks I guess.

yawnsvillex · 23/12/2020 13:47

I know!! Was thinking the same

xmasfairybuns · 23/12/2020 13:50

We got some with our Morrisons delivery today.

PurpleDaisies · 23/12/2020 13:51

Boxes and boxes of them in my local Tesco yesterday.

I couldn't get the ones with the nice green leaves this year Sad
Are they all sat on French lorries?

NameChange84 · 23/12/2020 13:53

Booths if you are Northern, mainly. Huge tray for £3. Or your local greengrocers. Failing that the “express” type stores seem to have almost everything at the moment.

NeedToKnow101 · 23/12/2020 13:56

Morrison's has them but just the annoying 'sweet clems' this year, no proper satsumas with the baggy skin. 😢

AstridAv · 23/12/2020 13:57

Wasn't any in tescos yesterday. Was also short on bananas and had no swede. Everything else was fully stocked

Redyoyo · 23/12/2020 14:56

They are in hiding with the seafood sauce!

giletrouge · 23/12/2020 15:25

France! Zut alors! Grin

CovidCarol · 23/12/2020 15:35

Couldn't get any satsumas this year just those stupid 'easy peelers' that are not bloody easy peelers, satsumas are easy peelers Xmas Angry

Pieceofpurplesky · 23/12/2020 15:39

I know! I managed to get some from Aldi but I think they are easypeelers in disguise.
I hate any of the others as they are too sweet.

RoseDog · 23/12/2020 15:41

I got satsumas in my Morrison's shop this morning but no leeks, dp went on a leek hunt and couldn't find a leek anywhere, not even the bags of frozen leeks!

Smiths84 · 23/12/2020 15:48

Been getting ours from Aldi and they’ve tasted lovely, sweet clems/tangerines are just not the same

CovidCarol · 23/12/2020 15:55

No, I've been trying for weeks and weeks to get them.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 23/12/2020 15:56

Citrus fruits are one of the things likely stuck in the Dover chaos.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 23/12/2020 16:10

Got some in Lidl this morning.

NeedToKnow101 · 23/12/2020 18:46

No sprouts in Morrison's 😱😢😭

Sn0tnose · 23/12/2020 19:20

None in our Sainsbury’s (which hasn’t had any all year - they’re my favourite fruit) or in M&S.

I used to love getting them, with the odd one wrapped in wax paper.

StylishChristmasTurkey · 23/12/2020 19:23

In the same place as the chocolate coins. Tried about 8 different shops in the last week to get some for the DC's stockings and nowhere has them. Apart from Sainsbury's who had white chocolate ones.

girlywhirly · 23/12/2020 20:47

I got some from Waitrose today.

Obviously stuck in my Surrey Sainsbury’s.
Floralnomad · 23/12/2020 20:50

I’ve been getting them from a farm shop for weeks and my sister bought some in either Marks or Sainsbury . Tesco have not had them at all .

InTheLongGrass · 23/12/2020 20:55

Tesco have had some most weeks since October/November. Got some yesterday, but DS really likes them slightly green from early in the season, so I've been taking them to snack on at work.
