No wonder Tesco no longer sells this product - they've all ended up in the Perth, Crieff Road store!

Yes, I was there this morning and there is an entire aisle dedicated to them reduced to 75p per tube.

Amazing scenes!

I'm going back tomorrow to get some more in - expiry date not until 03/09/16 Cool

It's crackers all right.  Not half Laugh

It's the latest thinking by Tesco, I'm told.

They're going to reduce skus from 90,000 to 70,000 to reduce logistics costs. The cunning plan is to ship each particular stock item to only 1 store.  They have 3,500 stores in the UK so each store will have around 20 stock items available.

This is why there was a whole aisle of twiglets ... Perth is the store that gets them for the UK.

If you want crisps, you're going to have to travel to Norwich, etc

BTW, they have employed a team of leading management consultants to help them to simplify their product range.

I used to work for a leading mgt consultancy (honest) and this is the sort of spiffing idea that leading management consultants come up with.

If Tesco thought they were in the sh1t having posted a £6.4 bn loss in 2015, they've seen nothing yet ... let me at 'emLaughLaughLaugh

I guess we can safely put you in the anti-marmite camp then, blackestnight Laugh

Tesco could be shooting themselves in the foot here as I'm stocking up on their mini twiglets and I could soon be Perthshire's main supplier.

Anyone want some?  £1 per drum + p&p.

Any specials up in Aberdeen, Kenny?  We could start a co-op.
