Default Bisto gravy powder- not granules?

OK, have searched past threads and have looked in supermarkets, the british shop at northland , and a couple of british internet shops.

I am after Bisto gravy powder - the stuff in a rectangular brown box, not gravy granules, which I can find.

Anyone know where I can get it?

If you are in Ontario you will find it in No Frills supermarket. That is where I buy mine. I think Loblaws and A & P/Sav-a-Center would have it also.

Ours comes from Sainsbury,s via MIL, along with my chocolate supplies. Way cheaper than anywhere else. Sorry she is not taking extra orders.

I can't believe it!

Here in New Brunswick all I can find is BISTO.

I would love to find gravy granules.

I can't find them in superstore or Sobeys or anywhere.

It is the only thing that I really really miss from the UK.

What supermarkets can you find gravy granules in??????????

Safeway or Canadian Superstore in Calgary & area. They also have chicken bisto powder here. The Beef one is not as tasty as the UK version, always needs a bit of something extra.

Yes I noticed that too. The beef one is really bland and just salty.

I don't know where Northland is, but here in BC you can get it in just about any supermarket. It's the granules we have difficulty finding.

Does she just post it out, or is it personal delivery?
