Hell is ever closer part 5: playing cupboard and fridge Tetris

[ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy]

Here's our new thread!

raisins. morrisons have been out of stock for ages. we have loads, rather we had loads. I would like to get back to the we have loads level of raisins as they are important for dd's limited diet and I bloody love them.

Sainsbury's didn't have their own brand sultanas for ages. And they only have 500g bags of currants and raisins. Dried fruit crisis, clearly.

Tesco were short of raisins today too, I needed to stock up after making carrot cake the other day but couldn't get more than two bags! At this rate I'll be raiding DS2's stash of Peppa Pig raisin boxes

I haven't been able to get any bags at Morrisons for weeks.

(of raisins or sultanas)

Or Buy Wholefood Online isn't too bad. Dearer than the supermarket, but the dried fruit is really high quality. We get the dried apricots and cranberries.

I was thinking about it yesterday, the buying a stash thing for a month or so and how we hadn't needed it yet, but, I have needed it, eg the raisins. as random things have been out of stock for a while. so the stash is doing its job, just not all of it is getting used, but it was there for the things that did go out of stock.

We've just cracked open the Brexit bog roll! 🎉😂

Our kidney beans are what gets used most, as Sainsbury's seemingly don't sell the 30p ones online. I buy a load when I go into the shop to top the stash up.

Peppers still seem to be problematic round here. I was expecting it before now, to be honest.

Sainsbury's and Aldi are really struggling with red / orange / yellow peppers round here. Are others finding the same?

Our yellow peppers from Asda are generally still a bit green, but are being delivered each week.

I'd rather have that than the no stock situation here!

Peppers seem ok here but bananas are running out quickly. Or maybe it's just because we eat a lot of bananas in our house that I notice it more

I really need to go through all my food stocks and organise it again properly, donate a few bits to the foodbank. Not likely to happen over the Easter hols though with two lively DC to look after...

Peppers fine here, but no GG salad crisp sweetcorn for over a year. I was so excited when I found some on Amazon, and it has a 2024 BB date.

No little gem available though for tomorrow's delivery

I think I'm going to need a parcel of peppers sending up! 🤣🤣

Can't help on the sweetcorn, however.

Plenty of peppers down here Fluffy

I'm not down for ages either, Dontlick! I'll have to get mum to send a box up. 😂😂

@NoWordForFluffy you've reminded me that when I visit my DM I stock up on the local cheese. I haven't been able to go for almost two years now. I miss that cheese (I mean I miss my DM too, but now you've reminded me of the cheese, that's what I'm thinking about more...!)

Well, if I had to choose my mum or cheese, I'd be plunged into a massive moral dilemma I'd choose the cheese!

your secret is safe fluffy

I got a three pack of peppers from the Co-op and they were all red rather than the usual one red, one yellow, one green.

I'd be happy with that. The kids don't eat green ones!

anyone anything for head meets desk pain?

ventured into the supermarket and forgot to check for raisins... which was one of the reasons I fecking went!

there seems to be a couple of kilos in the stash though, but ffs.

there did seem to be lots of peppers. not the greatest quality (not consistent colour, and small) but peppers. (sorry)

oh and apparently my many boxes of cereal are arriving tonight.

Oh, I do that all of the time...I turn into a goldfish at the door of the shop!

M&S had peppers at the weekend, so I'm wondering if it's selected shops with the issue. 🤔🤔
