Help! Anyone shop at M + S who could do me a favour?

Our local Marks and Spencer have just stopped stocking organic apple crisps, and salt-free crinkle crisps. As these were one of the few treats my poor deprived son is allowed [trying for the sympathy angle here ] we are distraught...

I don't know if they have stopped them nationally or just in smaller stores (or possibly just in Essex, they are not very organic round here). If anyone managed to spot them in their local M + S and could grab me a few, I would be very grateful, and would reimburse you straight away plus postage. Several packs of each would be great, unless the sell by date is too early to make it practical.

A hopeful thank you

our local Co-op stocks salt-free Kettle Chips, have you tried those?

No, we haven't got a Co-op terribly near us but I will see if I can get to one, thanks for that.

If I go in to the shops tomorrow I'll have a look for you.

Aww thanks GDG. It sounds like the no salt ones will be possible to find elsewhere but I would be very grateful for even one or two packets of the apple ones.

FrannyandZooey, yes they have them in my local store. Only had a quick look today as DS was getting v.fed up at this point and about to kick off. The sell-by dates were all March'ish from what I could see. They also had organic Sweet Potato crisps (v.nice, just tried them myself) and another flavour although can't remember what....

If you let me know exactly how many of each ones you would like I will gladly get for you.

CaptainDippy · 13/02/2006 20:06

We have them too - Would you like me to get some? Will be going in tomorrow morning. Let me know!!

Ooh, thank you both so much. I had a brainwave, now I know they have not stopped doing them in all stores, maybe I can harrass my own store to start stocking them again, or at least get in a few bags for me.

I will see what I can do here, but if I have no luck can I get back to one or both of you for further help? It's so sweet of you to do this for a total stranger, thanks

CaptainDippy · 13/02/2006 20:24

CaptainDippy · 13/02/2006 20:25
