The idea of writing them a note did cross my mind but it is an industry wide practice.. Look how tuna fish cans have gotten smaller over the years. I weighed their product and their 5 oz cans of tuna have about 3 oz of tuna and the rest is water or oil. The same with cottage cheese. You use to open a carton and it was packed firmly to the top now there is liquid on top and you can tell it is not as firm as you use to get.floridacatlover wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 3:07 pm I think you should write a nice but firm note of complaint to Del Monte. Let them know you are disappointed. You could ask for your money back (which is what I would do) or at least ask for a coupon to use on another item. Look up their email address online and you won’t even have to use a stamp. Alternatively if you bought the can locally you could return the can to the store for your money back. Publix will take back almost anything and Aldi, too, but I’m not sure about other stores.
I read your post yesterday about Dal. I was not at all familiar with it so looked it up. Sounds interesting. I haven’t been to Big Lots lately but I remember that they do carry a lot of international foods.
I bought my apricots at Dollar Tree. I have two more cans left. I bought them in a different town on my way home from my Drs office and not worth the gas or time to return them.
I love going to Big Lots. I can buy products made with flour from countries in the EU and it does not affect me. American flour has something wrong with it and I react to it.. Also love buying things to restock my Asian foods. You can buy some of them in local stores but they cost a lot more.
I love Dal and if you cook meat and add it to the Dal it makes for a more filling meal, I usually add chicken. I also plan on cooking more of my own beans and adding them to the packet. The flavor will still be there it will just stretch the flavor to more ingredients and will not be as soupy. Janet Alliesmama
