Odd Thing At My Grocery Store!

[ Edited ]

I can no longer buy whole leaf frozen spinach!  Chopped spinach is great for recipes, but I prefer whole for eating since chopped cooked just melts in your mouth!  I do shop in the largest store in our area. 

 

I guess, now, I'll have to go to other stores (grumble!).

 

Anyone else having a "pain" trying to find anything?

I have missed a lot of things over the years in grocery stores but not frozen spinach!. Sorry I couldn't resist.

My local stores always encourage people to ask them to carry things they don't find. It may not work, but it's worth a try.

@Alison Wonderland Thanks.  With the store brand, they have one labeled "Whole leaf" and one labeled "chopped", but they're BOTH chopped no matter what the label.  If I buy spinach in any other brand it's creamed!!!

I have never seen, or shopped for this. Even now that I've relocated from CA to the east coast, I can buy fresh spinach anywhere. And it's very inexpensive.

@september Thank you.  I can buy fresh here too.  I wanted the convenience of frozen.  It also takes 12 1/2 cups of fresh to equal what is in a box of frozen.

The frozen spinach at Aldi is chopped, @ECBG . (Just to save you looking there.)

Trader Joes's stopped carrying these products:  SO coconut yogurt, Amy's roasted veggie pizza w/out cheese (made by Amy's with the Trader Joe label at half the grocery store price), and tofu egg salad.  I no longer eat these products, but I sure missed them years ago when they went MIA.

Yes.  You just have to know that it shrinks up a lot as you cook it.  Still very inexpensive to buy fresh.
