General shift to less things being around. I want the salt reduced no sugar peanut butter. No dice latterly.

no Sanitarium pb at woolies

I used to always buy that brand because it was best and guaranteed hygienically made

Yeah. That one. I dislike the religious bit but the next option is the organic which is too oily & expensive when boyo devours a full jar a week

Sometimes I find that they leave the shelf empty to clear it all out in preparation for a price hike then they put it all back after the price has gone up.
