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.? |

"I'm trying to find Salt n' vingar Ringos. Any ideas? You can get them online but i need them by tomorrow "
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. |

"Yes very much, though like all food shops its about profit -v- wastage. "
My problem is that the the staff told me that everyone liked them. But the company making it is trying to remarket it's brand's. |

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  had to find another. Which I have done but that’s not the point.
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.... |

"I've never ever shopped in an Iceland store
And never will...
Why not ?
My perception is of poor quality food and of an associated low demographic."
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. |

"I felt the same when Tesco changed my lacy thongs! when Asda stopped selling my favourite 5 pack of stockings."
I definitely feel your pain there
They changed the design of their hold ups too.
