WHY IS THIS SO CHEAP?

 

This tapioca is past its Best Before date (03 September 2026), so it’s priced to clear. Best Before is a quality date, not a use-by safety date, and tapioca pearls are a dry store-cupboard product — busy shops that get through tapioca quickly buy our past-Best-Before stock every time we have it, which is why we rarely throw any away.

 

Tapioca comes on long lead times with short Best Before dates from the supplier, so this happens from time to time. Our next full-price shipment is already on its way — when this clearance stock is gone, it's gone, and the price goes back up.

 

SALE WEEK BONUS (ENDS SAT 31 OCT): the automatic extra 10% off at checkout applies to this stock too this week.
