So here goes:

S26 Gold Stage 2 Progress, well good luck finding it. I live north Hamilton and all the supermarkets have it on special, and you know what that means ... there's none blardy to be found.

Have been to and now the shelves are bare at Hamilton:

Rototuna New World
Rototuna Woolworths
Chartwell Foodtown
Te Rapa New World (picked up the last one in stock)

Don't know what the rest of Hamilton (and where you live) is like but hope you're prepared?

It's not like formula is a frivalous item so why would all of them put it on sale at the same time.   Very frustrating.

Heya,

I'm at the other end of town and near a couple of supermarkets - if you want me to check for you and buy some if it's there let me know and I can get it Sounds like popular stuff!

OMG i so know how you feel. That happened to me a few months ago when everyone in Palmy had the stage 2 Heinz on sale it was so damn hard to get a can.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I hate it when you really really need something, only to find it's on special and completely sold out. Hope you find some.

You should try living in Morrinsville - it happens all the time! We travel to Hamilton often to get baby food.

Gah, isn't it frustrating??? It's the same with Crawler sized nappies at our local supermarkets... it's like they are going out of fashion or something

Managed to get hold of some, but have rung and talked with the supermarkets and all have assured me that they will be restocking immediately.

Thank you for the offers ladies.

One supermarket had it on for 18 bucks, another for 19 -so not huge savings but enough to start a run on it here.
