![]() Good news: My grocery store FINALLY has Oreo thins on the shelf. Bad news: They don't stock labneh anymore and it's not a matter of finding another store in the same chain that does (12 within 5 miles of my house) - it's not on the product list. Poof. Frustrating news: They've reorganized the store and you know how it is when that happens. -- sf |

I'm firmly convinved the reason grocery stores will reorganize (read: move everything somewhere else!) is to force experienced customers to have to look at a lot more of the stuff the store carries looking for what they want!! Experienced customers know exactly where the items that they seek to buy are, so they don't normally look at (read: be more likely to buy) all the rest of the crap they stock and carry! ****ing grocery stores!! I'm STILL not gonna buy any of that crap you sell! I'm only there for what *I* want, not all the crap you want to sell me! John Kuthe... |

OK. I suppose there won't be as many stand alone ice makers here (if that is what you are referring to). Plastic ce cube trays are available here in most supermarkets among the kitchen stuff. I don't have a stand alone, nor an auto one on the fridge/freezer. I fill ice cube trays with water which then go into my little 'under the counter' upright freezer which lives in my kitchen ![]() -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |
