Tracy, I fully agree, I had a pack returned to Pampers, also a waist of time if you expect them to get back to you. The quality of the product really dropped, My 22month old boy ended up with a WET bed every night. I have now changed to Cudlers and I can honestly say we hardly have any problem or complaints any more. Good luck

I have been buying pampers nappies again after a long absence due to their price compared to other nappies. I must say I am so dissapointed!!! on 3 occasions now, the nappies have broken, latterly teared while I was putting them on my daughter!! For one of the most expensive brands, you would think they would be made stronger and not have this problem. What a waste of money :(

I used Rama Light for many years and now recently they have rebranded all their marg types. There is no longer a light, but I don't know which one is the same as the light. So unfortunately I have had to swop to a brand that still makes a light marg. Would be great if Rama could advertise which is which - compare old to new. As I think this potentially happened to alot of their customers.

I tried adding this to New Product Watch, but your site is on the fritz. Coffee 2 Go is great when you're on the road, camping or hiking. It literally heats itself in 3 minutes so it's warm when you need it to be. One drawback is the added sugar. Available in black coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate & chicken soup. Worth a try! Available at Clicks Stores.

Moosa, I feel exactly the same than you. I spend so much time at the shop comparing the different brands with each other. I closely look at the per kilo or per litre comparison and mostly do my shopping according to the best price. I will only buy a more expensive product, if I believe strongly believe in it and have tested the cheaper versions. I have cut down or cut out a lot of products, like tuna, as the prices are just unacceptable.

Hi.
If you keep getting shown an error message (or some funny text that makes no sense) after you try click the "back" button, go back through the answer you provided, and make sure you haven't used any funny characters or symbols. While I was filling out a survey earlier today, I kept getting this problem. Eventually, once I had removed all apostrophes, brackets and other symbols, I managed to complete the survey.
Hope this helps. :)

So true Moosa but what can be done about it? I have started cutting out products if the price is too high. If everyone did this then we could force the supermarkets etc to bring down the prices. I will not pay R12 - R14 for an English Cucumber! When the price comes down then I will buy it again. Look at the price of coffee - it's crazy. The trouble is the younger people are earning crazy salaries these days and don't need to worry about prices. This puts the poor and pensioners in a very bad position! What do they do?

Has anyone tried the Airwick scent sticks (not sure of the exact name) - it is a bottle of scented oil, with bamboo sticks that soak up the oil and fill the room with the scent. I love the scent, however, because of the shape of the bottle, it falls over very easily, and the oil has now removed the varnish and stain from my bathroom counter! Please pass this on to the manufacturer, they need to change the bottle shape so that it does not fall over, or change the oil so that is doesn't eat through varnish o-O

After completing the kellogs survey I wonder that no-one has passed the fact on to Kellogs that Doctors are advising people to eat iron enriched food with caution. Due to the fact that excess iron has been linked to heart disease. Most people in South Africa get dietary iron, and iron from multi-vitamin and mineral supplements, eating more iron in your cereal could be harmful... everyone in my extended family has stopped eating iron fortified cereal for this reason. This is important information and Kellogs should be made aware of it.

Sharon- only one supermarket in town stocks this product.....and when it is finished ,it is finished..... when I phoned Parmalat they told me all Spars, Checkers and P'nP sells it....not a chance! it is extremely frustrating.

Marna  [Sasolburg FS ] 12 Apr 10

 

I have been becoming quite annoyed at the fact that products in many stores no longer have "readable" prices on them. My concern being; I can not read a barcode and thus do not truly know what I am paying for the product once it has been rung up, since one does not always remember the price stated on the shelf. What happened to prices on products?

I have found on many occasions when purchasing a single item (not a whole months groceries; since then you will not notice) that there is often a difference in price when rung up at the till compared to what the shelf price indicated; only the product is not separately priced, which means that one has to return to the shelf and prove the price stated.

Are retail shops abusing or in a sense relying on the idea that clients; due to some factors such as the following; time, effort to query the error or courtesy to the other customers waiting to be served? Are retail shops doing this on purpose (added profit) or is it simply incompetence?

Should there not be a law on itemised, 'readable' pricing?

The next time you buy groceries, take some time to write the price of each item down and then compare with your receipt (till slip); you'd be surprised...

Service in Retail Stores is disgusting!!! I am appalled at the way I am treated in most retail stores. Are the staff made aware that I am in fact the customer and that I am to at least - at LEAST! be greated with a smile and some courtesy! Surely some form of acknowledgement that I am a customer should be implemented! Are the staff trained in customer service? Do they know that hand signals are rude and that no eye contact when communicating is also disrespectful. I am well aware that certain cultures have different forms of respect, but surely all staff should be trained as to how customers should be dealt with??
I think that we have stopped complaining and just accept the current situation. Let's stand together and get the service levels back up to where they should be. If Customer Service is an issue for you! Make a difference and let the store know that you are unhappy!

But on the other side of this coin my figure might not be the same again, ever, @ 100g slabs. The other thing I'd like to mention, the Aero Cappucino slab is heavenly but very difficult to break into blocks, as it really disintegrates into small pieces no matter how careful you are.

Pour into ovenproof dish and bake ±45 minutes.

CARAMEL SAUCE: optional

Melt ± 2 tablespoons butter or marg and 1 - 1½ cups sugar in pot over fairly high heat. Stir continuously. When it starts turning brown, turn down the heat and continue stirring until medium or caramel brown in colour. Don't overdo, otherwise it will have a burned taste. Slowly add a cup of milk - be very careful, as it will splatter, and once the splattering stops and caramel turns hard, add another 2 - 2½ cups milk. Carefully loosen the caramel from sides of pot with a wooden spoon and stir until all the caramel has melted. Turn heat down to low.
Mix one rounded dessertspoon of maizena/cornflour with a little milk into a smooth runny paste and slowly add that to the sauce, stirring until it thickens.

I cannot stand the new Body on Tap shampoo, what happened to the great smell the original one had? Why did they make the bottle bigger and now more expensive. It used to be an affordable "good" shampoo to use!

My 14 year old son was always hungry after eating the ordinary white Albany as he is not one for brown bread! Now thanks to the all new low GI white bread which sustains his hunger for longer periods and I personally think he has even lost some weight from not binging the whole time!

You should take rice back to shop where you bought it, it most probably had een on the shelf too long

Ciro instant coffee seemed to have disappeared from the shelves - do anybody know anything about why this is? We have been looking for it for months now at various outlets.

I bought a pack of Spekko Thai Jasmine 1kg rice last Sunday. When I got home to wash it, I had these brown bugs running around inside the rice. They were crawling all over the rice inside the packet, had crawled out of the packet and onto my counter. I sent an email, with picture, to Pioneer Foods, and they haven't even bothered to reply to my email. Im horrified and will never again buy a Spekko product.

Thats very interesting actually. Because I called the helpline and they said there was no problem but they would "investigate" and it "was their policy not to call customers back" wow! How much more rude can you get. I want to buy yur product, informing you I cannot find it and asking if there is a problem but its not their policy to call you back. I think I go with the imports even though they are a little more expensive. As for the testers cant help you there - I too am new.

I downloaded a Malva Pudding Redcipe from the Hulletts sugar website. I'm convinced they left something out, like milk or water, as I'm meant to 'pour' the mixture into a dish, but without any form of liquid, it was more like cookie dough. I just winged it and threw in some milk, then it came out ok. So maybe someone should let them know?

I heard that that was their last resort, as they couldn't 'un-beach' them, and get them back into the water. Either way it's one of those unfortunate phenomenon that just happens, sad as it is.
