FabSwingers.com forum: When a shop stops selling

By (user no longer on site) OP

One of your favourite foods, Iceland is a bit out of my normal range of shopping. But every few weeks I would have called in to buy a few bags of my favourite snacks. Today I was told that they not selling it anymore.

So looks like I have no reason to stop in it. Don't you hate that.?

You'll probably find these in smaller shops like little independent corner shops, maybe even costcutter and the like. They have them near me in Wales in the corner shop/post office, huge bag for £1.

I would look at it as an opportunity for you to try something different in the hope you find something you love that You wouldn't normally have tried.

No where sells my favourite roll-on now! So upset, used it for years. No where online either. Everywhere says out of stock

I also have brought pie mash and liquor from frozen section in Morrisons and Asda before, they now don’t do that unless you live down south, again gutted....

The food varies. They do some very good cuts of meat.

To be fair to them a branded pizza from Iceland is the same as a branded pizza from Waitrose or Fortnums.

I don't shop there frequently as it is not on my travels. In the past I went more often but then i'm astute with money more than I am an unnecessary snob. I am glad they ditched Kerry Katona though.

you do know that most of Icelands food is what you would buy in any Tesco Asda etc. Yes they have own brand's .And that most frozen vegetables and food stuff is better than some fresh stuff. I only don't shop in it because I have a Lidl and Spar plus Tesco all in walking distance.

I wouldn't even know where to find my nearest Iceland store? I'm guessing it'd be located in a less desirable part of a not so nearby town / city.
