Dirtbag,

Wow, that is strange. I just received the current Jan 2012 CTD catalog saturday, and the company still has them listed as available for sale.

Dang. :(

I hope somebody here got a box!

I'd been waiting until I move (this week), to order, and, of course, they ran out of them just before that. :(

I just used the sign-up thing, so maybe if enough people do so, CTD might be more motivated to search out some more.

Yeah, I got the catalog too, and went directly to their site...
All sold out!
I was gonna buy a case! :cry:
Is this something new, or did I have my head up and locked again?
Any reviews?

They're new within the last couple years - the first I had one was about a year ago. They're great warmed up with the maple sausage patty, could use some sawmill gravy though :mrgreen:

No. Yes. ;)

A while ago, I did post CTD's master food page:
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemList ... catid=6195
So I assumed folks were checking it.

But, yes, I should have posted the Biscuits when they appeared about two months ago. Sorry!

As a consolation prize, did anyone notice the new 12-pack of "MRE Entree Pork Sausage Patty":
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MRE281-1.html
$24.97 is a pretty decent price for any 12-pack of recent production entrees, and this is the first time I've seen a bulk listing of pork patties.

What we need is a little app that saves the master page, then re-scans daily, and reports the diffs. :)

I've added that to my list of little programming projects. It's way down after a bunch of critical stuff, but I will get around to it, eventually. :)
Now that I know dirtbag's pets are "part" of his preps, I have an extra incentive. ;)
