Are there brands that you used to buy that are no longer in your local supermarket? What do you think of all these 'home brands'? Are they just as good as the named brands, are they cheaper, or are you still hankering after something in particular that just seems to have disappeared from the shelves? Give us your opinion.

I used to buy Kraft Coleslaw dressing & i find it impossible to buy now. As my family grew up we ate an enormous amount of coleslaw.It was my job where’ve we went as a family I had to make the largest bowl of coleslaw you ever saw. I made it with a mixture of cabages, red, green, curly & straight Then everything went into it that I had in the fridge, the fruit bowl & the cupboards. This meant dried & fresh fruit & every type of vegetables that could be chopped up or grated finely. I know some one will now say you surely did not put (mxxxccd) in. I will say the kids trued if I didn’t.
I don’t know when it was taken off the shelves but I am so glad it was after I was taken off the Roster for family feasts, I never would have lived it down. No idea why they did either because the Praise Coleslaw dressing tastes oily, no one likes it & I was never prepared to carry a half filled bowl home.
