I don't know if it's just because they've run out as my local Tesco's hasn't had any for weeks, but their Finest* Premium Quality Paper, is no longer 120gsm. It's gone down to 100gsm, the packet is nearly half the size, still the same 250 sheets and price but because the paper is thinner, the packet is too. I know there are hundreds of crafters out there who, like me, use this paper, so if the Tesco in your area still has the old (and better) paper, I'd get it while you can, but they were very 'crafty' by not having any for ages, probably hoping no one would notice. I asked their customer Service assistant and she told me, that's all they have listed.... I wouldn't be so mad if they called it, 'Not Quite Finest* Premium Quality, But Near Enough....' but they don't...My FaceBook Group
update... The Tesco Help line were 'unaware' of this change and have put it down to 'environmental savings and costs' but it is still, compared to their other printing paper, their finest*
What a load of crock... I have bought some since posting this .... it's no way near the same, the soft smooth finish it used to have, has gone...I took back the opened packet and was refunded my money.
Thanks for the info, will check out my local Tesco and see if they have any of the original paper left. Enjoy the weekend,

I hate it when they go and change things. Newer doesn't always mean better!

ReplyDeleteOh how annoying, I know lots of crafters who like to use that paper. Last time I needed some I went to Wilkinsons as I couldn't get Tescos but could only get 90gsm but it's quite good
