About 3 weeks ago my local Asda (walmart) stopped stocking the tubs of bicarbonate of soda in the baking section which was around 80p for 180 grams so i complained to the manager, as i brush my teeth with it and make home-made deodrant, he said it had been replaced with these tiny sachets 7grams, 5 in a packet for $1, i complaind to asda head office on-line but no joy, so i went to Morrisons (another supermarket) only to find they have done the same , what's going on! managed to get a 3 kilo bag from the wholesalers fortunately but it's not good.
