My Son however is moaning he cannot find Tonic water with a 'touch of lemon'.

My view is that's heresy anyhow!

Tesco is the only supermarket near me that stocked orzo when I needed it for a recipe a few years ago.

If you have one near by.
Aldi does smashed avocado, it’s with the plant based/vegetarian products.

More than 80 items in my online shopping basket! I understand they have to put a limit on it but when you choose 6 loose bananas (to reduce the need for plastic) and that classes as 6 items it’s very frustrating! I had to choose between bananas or wine!

try putting loose mushrooms in your basket! I couldn't understand why my basket suddenly shot past the 80 item limit then realised it had counted 11 for them so swapped to a pre pack

I don't think there is anything I've struggled to get hold of from the supermarket recently, but our printer broke and it took me ages to find a reasonably priced replacement. Seems everyone wants them for schooling and working from home.

Oh so true, I shop for elderly neighbours and they cannot understand the Tesco 80 now 85 item thing at all. They have no understanding of internet shopping at all and I get lists that say 5 large potatoes or 6 tomatoes etc and I always substitute these myself for a bag of potatoes and a pack if tomatoes.

I used to worry it wasnt exactly what they wanted but now I worry when they will start shopping for themselves again, though in truth I dont mind doing it. It has the added advantage at the moment that with my American express payment the American Express special bonus on Tescos and Waitrose until September and my Tesco card I'm getting about 6 avios to the £!

My mum asks for tinned spaghetti every week, it's still not in stock. And muller rice with apple, think Asda have stopped stocking that... I can get it in Tesco though.
