Really fed up. I've found a fabulous bodywash that Avon make(made) Oatmeal.... Its so lovely and good for my skin as doesn't affect my eczema... Went to order some more and its vanished from book and website. 😔 😔 😔
My lovely Avon lady has ordered me six bottles which I hope come in. Its on Ebay and Amazon but a lot more money... Grrr!!

I’ve not quite forgiven M&S for discontinuing their pina colada yogurt. Actually I’m incredibly bitter over it!

Aldi currently have a similar one which is almost as good but is limited edition!

Furious about it all I am!

I used to go to Waitrose specifically to buy their low fat coleslaw.
Gone.
Still miss M and S Baked Potato flavour Deltas. And Walkers Baked Sour Cream and Chive crisps are as rare as hen’s teeth now.
I think some companies wait until I start buying things regularly then deliberately stop making them.

My dc ALL live Thai yellow curry. It’s one if the few easy meals all 4 fully enjoy. I originally had Lloyd Grossman hard but they were discontinued, then Tesco did their own briefly. Can’t find the jars of it anywhere now...

Asda mini potato and carrot waffles. The DC loved them. Every visiting child I've ever fed loved them.

Now gone Sad

I've not broken the news to the DC yet.

Aldi's rainbow stew. Never in my local shop now.

PhannyMcNee · 04/06/2019 19:35

Thank you @Elderflower Grin

Still traumatised by Soap and Glory discontinuing their lipstick Perfect Day. In 2012.

Brazenhussy0 · 04/06/2019 19:37

The Body Shop's Fuji green tea body spray. I have one bottle left and it's running low so I'm saving the last few squirts Sad
Best scent ever created and no other green tea perfume comes close!

Both of my pregnancies with my girls I have really craved those microwave mccain ham and mushroom pizzas, I think they stopped making them about 15 years ago. I feel way more emotional about this than I should.

HundredMilesAnHour · 04/06/2019 19:40

Lancome's Flash Bronzer was the best natural looking fake tan. And they just stopped making it. No idea why. Grrrr. There are a few remnants on Ebay but that's it.

I used to buy the most amazing ice cream with lavender from a farm shop in Kent. Then it disappeared. Apparently the couple who made it retired. Sad How very dare they! Wink Wish I'd known in advance as I would have bought as much as I could fit in my freezer.

clairethewitch70 · 04/06/2019 19:40

Avon are notorious for discontinuing products ( Rep). Stock up on things you like as they could be gone in a month or two.

Still not forgiven Miss Selfridge for discontinuing makeup especially Iron Lady lipstick, and L'Oreal for discontinuing Parma Violet Lipstick.

MrsPear · 04/06/2019 19:42

Still not happy about Lush getting rid of flying fox shower gel - bloody fabulous it was

IHaveBrilloHair · 04/06/2019 19:43

Co op used to do almond washing up liquid, I loved it as I adore the smell of almonds, not seen it I in around three years.

GetTheStartyParted · 04/06/2019 19:46

@IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece Tesco have The Collective limited edition pina colada yoghurt and also a Tesco Finest pina colada yogurt too, might be worth a try?

Noooooooooooooo not the carrot & potato waffles!!! I will treasure my last few!

Original source used to do a tea tree face wash that I've not been able to find since I was a teenager!

pazwaz70 · 04/06/2019 19:49

Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Valentine. It's just about used up.!
Absolutely love the colour.

Sweetpotatoaddict · 04/06/2019 19:50

Ariel colour tablets, and now the powder also gone.

FaithInfinity · 04/06/2019 19:54

John Frieda Sheer blonde spotlight deranged. It made my blonde really blonde and detangled knotty hair.

Also Tesco pulling their online clothing. DD is really fussy about school clothes, I had found stuff she would wear at Tesco but now it’s in store it’s hit and miss as to whether I can get it.

nandaandm · 04/06/2019 19:54

I'm still fewmin that M&S stopped making Smoked bacon bucatini. It was by far, the best pasta dish they've done. My colleagues and I must have bought at least 15 a week between us. Our office hasn't been the same since they discontinued it. 🙂

TheSpottedZebra · 04/06/2019 19:56

Aldi did THE BEST eye cream, like Estee Lauder's ANR but so cheap. I only just found it.
And now it's gone, and I'll have to pay proper money for similar again.

Soola · 04/06/2019 19:59

Miss Selfridge Iron Lady lipstick.

Greenteandchives · 04/06/2019 20:05

I mentioned on another thread that Jo Malone have discontinued my favourite French Lime Blossom perfume. I couldn’t afford to stock up. To me it will always be the smell of spring. Sad
