There are literally hundreds of ways to spend Clubcard points. Even if all of the Palmiers are snapped up by Clubcard lovers, I bet 95% of them want the bonus points for normal Airmiles, Madame Tussaud tickets, discounted holidays or any of the other offers they do. It is unfair to blame FT'ers for this one!
If you have trouble finding them, look for the Tesco Finest Cheese Sticks. They are always next to these! If you find the Cheese Sticks and no Palmiers, then they have sold out. In one London Metro they are nowhere near the biscuits or savoury snacks at all, they are on a shelf of their own about 100m away.
" TOTALY UNTRUE BASSED ON 3 TESCO'S" .. WEll I have experienced empty Shelves on more that 3 ocassions. Good point about the stores not covered by TESCO.COM ... more likely to have stock.
