I like Coffee Mate. I know it's not good for me, but I don't drink a lot of coffee. Before all this started a carton was 500g for around £2.35. In the last twelve months it has been repackaged, reduced to 450g and increased to around a pound dearer. It is now 325g and £3.45. I know they have had production problems but .... Fortunately I found some 800g at a bargain price in Iceland and hope the situation will resolve before I run out. I'm guessing Nestle make the supermarket brands as well, they have been missing for a long time.
Apply similar story to Nescafe Azera Americano coffee. If you like this, it is £6 for a 90g tin at Tesco, but currently £4.99 for "Everyday Low Price" 190g.
It's not the supermarkets who are profiteering, and we know producers faced issues at the beginning of the year, but come on!
It has become increasingly difficult to get over the last couple of years and I mean of any make
The only one I could find this week was Asda’s own brand which I am informed is absolute shite so he will have to use proper milk now
I wonder what the issues are with making it, Morrisons own light version was the first to go, quickly followed by their full fat version, Coffee Mate light and now Coffee Mate full fat
A one kilo tin of "original" Coffee Mate is available from Amazon for £14.99 - don't know how that compares to what you pay in the shops and it's probably too big a tin for Frazz , but Mr Y must get through it quickly, especially if it goes on fishing trips as well as to work.
I can’t bear milk but happily add a flat spoonful of coffeemate to my coffee. I only have one cup a day, as a rule, so the large tins last me for ages. However, I’m now trying to track down the “less fat” version before my current tin runs out. I’m sure I’ve bought it from a supermarket in the past but I can’t remember from which one. The ones I shop at now only do the full fat version. But I guess one spoonful of the full fat one won’t do me any harm if I can’t find it.

Nestle stopped making it Toril. It's been difficult to find the normal one since January, due to production issues following some kind of incident weather related I think.
Thanks, Frazz. I’ll give up on the light one then and will pick up a couple of tins of the ordinary one next week. They did have some in my local store but I didn’t buy any. Typical! 🙄
