A few days ago i bought a can of “Campo Lindo Guacamole style dip” at our local Dollar Tree Store here in New Castle, Pa. It was very good i was impressed i went back today to buy more of it but could only find 2 more cans of it i have no car so the local bus is my transpertation. So how can i find more of this what other stores might sell it? Only thing is the dollar tree was only one dollar so i really don’t want to have to pay double or tripple somewhere else. Thank you for your time & understanding, Sincerly , Nancy L.Sparks
I recently bought a package of Real fresh Tapioca pudding and was very disgusted with the product. The containers are only half full and are like drying rubber cement.
There are 2 dates on the cups …15May2012N3R TAP and under that it says Best by 15May2013 23:18. I will never trust this company again
I know this comment is years old so I don’t know if you will check back but one is the production day 15May2012 and the other is the Best by date 15May2013. It has a year shelf life. I hope that helps.
Have a wonderful day
