Where are you Tim Tams?

Ok so I know I just posted about Easter candy and all but I have another post about treats. I feel so nutritious these days! :)

Remember when I told you how much I love Tim Tams. Well, Tim Tams are now being made by Pepperidge Farms for America. For a while I had heard Target was the only store carrying them. We had some at our last Tim Tam party over a year ago and then all of the sudden Target stopped carrying them. Well this last November they came back!! And not only did Target have them but many other stores/grocery stores did too. I was so excited. I bought some for me, I bought some for Christmas gifts and not really thinking about it, I just thought Tim Tams were just available all the time now.

Well after Christmas I didn't really think that much about it until a couple of weeks ago. Then I all of the sudden had a big craving for Tim Tams, so one night I drove to Smith's and low and behold, they had NONE. Not only were they out, there wasn't even a space for them to be re-stocked. So the next day at lunch I drove over to the Target closest to work...surely they would still have some...they had NONE...nothing in site. I was so sad! After complaining to Shane about my ordeal, that weekend we were out to dinner and we decided to try the Target by where we were. I knew they wouldn't have any but thought we should just check. Sure enough, NONE. Then I was determined to find out what happened to them. So standing in the cookie aisle of Target, I whipped out my iphone and spoke 'Tim Tams in America' (side note: I love the search feature of the Google app on my iphone.) This is what came up:

"In the fall of 2009, Pepperidge Farm announced that Tim Tam cookies will be made available each year between October and March."

Are you kidding me? I just missed it by about 2 weeks??? October through March! Now I was really sad and resigned to my fate....I couldn't believe I was going to have to wait until October! Very depressed I turned and left the aisle. As I walked to the front of the store....low and behold there at the end of one of the aisles was a whole section of Tim Tams!!!!!!!!!!!! And...to make matters even better, they were on sale! This was the last of the Tim Tams left and I felt like I had hit the jackpot. I ran over to them and just stared. How many to buy??? I checked the freshness date...they're good until December. Hallelujah. So I decided to buy one for each month left until I can get them again in October. So I loaded my arms up with Tim Tams and bought 8!! There was another lady looking at the Tim Tams so I had to go and tell her to stock up because this is it until October. She looked at me funny and said 'oh are they good?' She didn't even know what they were! I told her yes but really I wanted to say if you don't know what they are save them for others that will be excited.



So here's my almost years supply of Tim Tams...food storage at it's best. So I've already eaten my package for April and am waiting most anxiously for May to pull out the next one. I hope I can really keep it to one package per month until October!
