Coffee Mate
 
Does anyone know if any of the Supermarkets in Ayamonte stock CoffeeMate the nearest we have found is the English Shop at Cabanas and they only sell small tins at a high price and the cost to get there is high?

Probably overkill but what about Amazon... spend 25 and get free EU delivery.

Maybe there is some other product that you need on supersaver delivery that you can add to get you to the limit. The big 2.5KG is nearly there at 19quid...

On the left hand side you can select supersaver delivery and ONLY products from the warehouse will appear so you can select them.... most of the time they apply to international shipping too. If they dont they appear when you try and checkout...

I bought a microwave oven/grill from them on Friday and professional garlic pres - free delivery... great!

You could use Jon's idea re Amazon and ask others if there is something they need (e.g. I always need Marmite) and then you wouldn't have to buy something you don't really want just to get free delivery. Bryony

The online shop www.britishcornershop.co.uk looks good too. Get an order of £100 together or perhaps join with friends if you only require a few things and it costs £5.99 delivery.

Bryony I am in Germany next week and should be able to get Marmite there do you want me to bring some back with me? If so how much?

I think you find Amazon no longer do free deliveries to Spain

Thanks all however I wanted it for next Wednesday lunch so no time for Amazon even if they would deliver to Ayamonte. They used to do 2.5 kg refill packs which squashed down nicely into a carry on but not seen those for a long time. So it looks like I wait until my next car trip and bring a couple of big tins down should last at least 6 mths.

Thank you for the offer Frank, I usually buy the 600g tub from Costco when I'm in the UK. I think its only about £5 so if you could get a couple of 500gr jars (don't think you will get the tubs there) for something around that price I would be very grateful. I can get it here but at a silly price so I try to wait until we are in the UK. If it is horribly expensive don't bother and I will try and make what I have left last until October. Thank you once again, Bryony

Have you asked at Mercadona? It stocks some products of Nestle.
Or, are you looking for lactose-free?

P.S. Corvo in VRSA may have it.

Mercadona don't have any powdered milk of any description other than baby formula. I use it in my Gluten Free cooking and can get a suitable product in Pingo Doce in Villa Real. But it is not a substitute for Coffee Mate.

Thanks Fred...I didn't know that. That's a shame - I just double checked and you're right, of course. Spain is not on the list. I had stuff delivered previously to friends in Spain for me. So that's out now. :thumbdown: I am lucky to have friends in Portugal that Amazon does deliver to, and I have already delivered Amazon stuff to Portugal. Living in Marina Esuri means that deliveries are 'tricky' and involve much more complications - so I ply resident friends with beer to accept deliveries :)

'Couch potato Amazon shopping' is great and with free delivery (eg my Friday order in Belgium) I can get a wealth of products like the examples I gave previously ... and also an extension lead in the same order!!

Too easy to part with hard earned dosh... but saves on shoe leather walking the 'shopping-beat' :)

Thanks
Jon

Be careful taking all that 'white powder' on the flight!! :eek:

Jon

PS in the link the product was the 2.5kg pack for £19... and a customer review says the plastic bags are better than the tins (don't know why)
