Another one bites the dust

Post by chris gibbs »

Hi to all just tried getting some Pringles out of Makros only to be told that cheese and onion have now been discontinued, that just leaves the four flavours left,just wondered what you guys thought about the future of the humble Pringle tower?
Cheers Chris .

Hi Chris, TBH I have never done the cheese & onion Pringles as there is only a Booker near me and they don't sell them!!

I don't know if you investigated this further, but you may find that the C&O have only been discontinued in Makro as it is now owned by Booker. It's a shame that Pringles decided to stop the prawn, and I hope they aren't deciding to stop other flavours.

I'm pretty sure the Pringle machines still have a long future, as long as we can get hold of them at a reasonable price. I would recommend looking in B&M Bargains and Wilko, as they often do limited run's of other flavours with short dates on them.

I have only ever used sour cream, BBQ,, Original and Salt and Vinegar. I think thats plenty when a tower only holds 42. Generally do 18 BBQ or sour cream 12 of the other one and 6 each of Salt and Vinegar and Original. Works well for me.

Never sold Cheese & Onion, they just do not sell. No problem just sell the four current flavours. Also pringles are on offer at Batleys/Bestways 1st-30th Sept @£3.69+VAT or £3.29 + VAT pricemarked.

Get a local printer to get you some labels done with your company name on and phone number. I can cover up 9 trays an hour if im motoring. At 30% profit once all expenses and commission deducted almost £33 an hr profit makes it worthwhile
