Ranch Dressing!

Morrison's, who just bought out Safeway, I think, is selling 175ml bottles of Ranch Dressing for 69p. My carrot sticks have never been so happy.

It's not Hidden Valley but it'll do. Now, to find some Twizzlers...

Anyone else found something they missed terribly?

I noticed that Sainsbury's started carrying Skippy peanut butter this summer....YIPPIE SKIPPY!!!! :D  I'm really a JIF person, but Skippy will do. :D

Also, I saw that ASDA has Reese's Peanut Butter cups this summer...are they finally realizing how good the peanut butter products are. hehe ;)

Tesco and Waitrose have own-brand Ranch dressings.
More importantly, Tesco has Paul Newman's Ranch Dressing, which I love.

Does Tesco carry the entire Paul Newman line? Cooool.

I just discovered the organic crunchy peanut butter at Safeway too. It's like an adventure every time I go food shopping. My life is so dull now that I am home job hunting that I get to look forward to meeting my man at the end of his shift today and we get to go grocery shopping. Yipee!

Charleston Chew bars for 49p each at a corner shop in Pimlico.  Along with Reeces cups, sticks, and Nutrageous bars (all at normal candy prices).  And Snyders of Hanover pretzels.

Sainsbury's here sells ricotta cheese, and I didn't notice any difference from what I was used to in the US. Although, I always mix it into things, I've never eaten it on it's own.

I would really be interested in anyone's opinion of the Paul Newman or even Tesco's Ranch dressings?  How are they compared to Hidden Valley Ranch?

Also, I happily found the following:

French's Yellow Mustard (great for potato salad)
Baby Ruth's Candy Bars
Edamame Beans

I am easily pleased!  ;D

Paul Newman's ranch is different than hidden valley, not as ... soft? Bit snappier taste, if that makes any sense. I like it. And no, Tesco doesn't sell the whole range (not that I'm aware of) but still quite a bit of his stuff. :)

The funny thing is that my SD loves quesadillas and always asks for American (French's yellow) mustard.  Cracks me up with her English accent. (must make BM nuts, love that too!)
