contacting Boots the chemist or some other nationwide store about stocking low carb foods? If all of you posting (and lurking) and your friends sent letters to the HQ of Boots listing by brand and item the things you'd like them to stock, I bet you they'd start a lc line! It might kick start the lc revolution in the UK

We're working on it!

hahahah boots
yeah right
They won't even sell us Ketostix

They'll sell you the book that tells you to get the ketostix though!!!

Maybe the profit on books is higher than the one on ketostix

where do u actually get them?

I got mine from Carblife.

I've bought ketostix from Boots [without any questions asked!], and from www.pharmacy2u.com, although there are probably cheaper places.

here's the link to a previous thread on contacting supermarkets, the one Rachel (urbangypsy) posted was another thread. This one contains many supermarket web address you may find useful.

Though many supermarkets still don't think there is a call for LC products. I was wondering if perhaps we should email them again but this time state items that LC buy, such as macadamia nuts etc to show them they do have a call for LC products.

Boots are very anti Atkins i still think there is a link somewhere between them and slim fast!! So i think our best bet would be the major supermarkets.

Super Drug and many independent chemists have no problems in selling ketostixs.

Ta chuck... it was on the same lines, but I thought it didn't look quite right!

Been one of those days...

No not at all hun, both postings are informative and about the same thing. I just thought the addresses may be useful

Out of curiosity, doesn't Asda have a reasonable selection of lc and sf stuff? Walmart is pretty good about having various lc offerings and their sf candy selection is pretty tasty. Since it's the same company I'd've thought they would be receptive to adding more stuff, too.

you certainly would think that Grey but unfortunately no Asda is just as bad as the other supermarkets

Walmart has a wide range of bullets too. Sometimes we should be thankful Asda isn't the same as its US owners!

omg really, wow. Well that has really shocked me a supermarket selling bullets, what ever next?
That has kinda put me off shopping at Asda now, ummm gonna have to have a think about that.
