Sainsbugs do have skimmed milk powder available. Next time I do a shop I'll get some and compare with the Morrisons.
Have been discovering the exact same issue! Loved the Sainsbury's Basics milk but that seems to have been abandoned. Thought they'd abandoned dried milk altogether as none of my local stores had any for over a month, but last week found the standard dried milk in stock again. In the meantime I trekked all the way to my nearest Morrisons (not many stores in London) on a bus and like you found that their milk powder has an extremely short BBE date: though I don't know if that is them being ultra conservative and with proper storage it'll be fine for 10 years, or if it's old stuff!

Slightly hijacking the thread....bacon grill!!! Lidl seem to have stopped doing it, Sainsburys and Tesco both sell the Tulip brand but it's smaller tins @ 250g. My trip to Morrisons did bring up their own brand @ 300g so I bought some but haven't tried it yet. Chaaaaaaaaange!!!! :(

Can't help you with the Bacon Grill, I'm a SPAM girl myself :D But I'll keep it in mind and check next time I'm out.

Pretty sure I've seen the bacon grill in some of the cheapy shops, can't say how recently though.

I'm the same, got some because it could be handy but not galloons of it (think the packet makes 22L which should be plenty). When it goes too far out of date I'll get another one.

Well, I did to go my Sainsbugs Local last night, the one at the end of the street, and there's plenty of long-life - so i'm gonna duck back in there tomorrow and get a few pints, just in case the civilised world grinds to a halt with the onset of snowmageddon! :lol:

If I ever run out of milk for my tea then the civilised world is definitely going to end, and horribly. :twisted:
