What can you dig up on them? EDIT: oops should have read the second article too before posting. "sister" company Archway, and both under a different "parent" co. So I guess no more Archway ginger snaps either. :( . jellybeanmichelle 10-11-2008, 10:43 PM http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/09/BU6413DQQO.DTL MamaLaura 10-11-2008, 10:44 PM So it's the entire Mother's company, not just the Oakland plant, right?

I like the bag with the several different kinds of cookies in it. becky 10-11-2008, 10:58 PM That's sad. I'll have to stock up lol.

Stacey 10-12-2008, 02:11 PM :( I saw the title of this thread earlier but didn't have time to read it. Then I was at Safeway and there was a display of them right next to the checkout. I almost bought some but I thought "oh, someone was posting about them today... I wonder if it's something gross like a severed finger found in the bag... hmmm. I'll skip it today" (yes... I really did think about a severed finger :lol) Wish I had read this before going to the store :( KaisaG 10-12-2008, 08:49 PM At Target all of the Archer Farms stuff is 15% off - from spaghetti sauce to bread mixes & frozen stuff.... Sad. jellybeanmichelle 10-12-2008, 08:55 PM At Target all of the Archer Farms stuff is 15% off - from spaghetti sauce to bread mixes & frozen stuff.... Sad. Oh wow, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Duh! We had their chicken polenta meal one time. It was good. Leigh 10-12-2008, 10:27 PM Archer Farms is the Target store brand. I don't think there is any relation to the Archway cookies. www.target.com/archerfarms http://www.foodlocker.com/brands-a-archway.html http://www.suntimes.com/business/1211866,CST-FIN-cookie09.article . jellybeanmichelle 10-13-2008, 11:05 AM Opps! The names just sound/look the same. :dunno But that's good to know the Target stuff is 15% off. :) becky 10-15-2008, 04:34 PM man i forgot to get some today. I thought of my dad these past couple of days as we passed the safeway on marina in SF. we used to stop there every year to get his tea or taffy cookies before heading over to alcatraz |
