Closed down or discontinued - what do you miss?

My local Oasis closed down before Christmas and I miss it so much! I've just been browsing their website and it's just not the same as seeing something on the hanger and thinking "ooh that's pretty!"
My favourite perfume and lipstick have been discontinued. I've been stockpiling thanks to ebay but they've been gone so long now I don't think I will get any more of either now. I won't look or smell the same soon Sad
What do you miss?
I fully expect this thread to be lots of people missing Woolworths and yes I still miss them too

L'Occitane fig fragrance stuff

TinyTimsCrutch · 19/02/2020 23:16

Woolies and Abby Crunch biscuits

Asiama · 19/02/2020 23:16

Pick and mix at Woolworths, in particular the Quality Street green triangles! If anyone knows where I can get them from instead, I would be extremely grateful!

poppym12 · 19/02/2020 23:17

I'm sure I've read that Cadbury are bringing back marble bars @Albern.

Sittingonthefence83 · 19/02/2020 23:19

@Albern yes to the PP they're bring Marble chocolate bars back!

Fairypiggy · 19/02/2020 23:22

I miss 90s body shop and Cadbury’s chocolate before palm oil. Even if they do bring back marbles they won’t taste the same!

Crabtree & Evelyn, I'm gutted my local shop has closed down and god knows what they've done to their products online, they look awful, they used to have products that looked very upmarket and luxurious especially at Christmas, I'm upset I won't ever be able to buy their Christmas room sprays anymore, they really were the best.

NeverTalksToStrangers · 19/02/2020 23:27

Tesco clubcard boost.
Tesco direct. They sold everything. Now you can't even buy school uniforms online.

Now my local tesco (big, not small) doesn't even have a deli from Sun-Tues.Confused

yesthatsaturd I agree potato triangles or deltas as M&S called them. Why does nobody make/sell them anymore. 😩

Terrys pyramid (mint fondant filled triangle chocolate)
original Milky Way with the brown filling
BHS,

Ikea cartons of elderflower squash.

That stuff had something in it which meant I could face shopping at Ikea. Discontinued. WHY GOD, WHY?!

marashino · 19/02/2020 23:43

Culpeper

StuckBetweenDarknessAndLight · 19/02/2020 23:44

What are potato triangles? I love a spud but have never heard of them.

Bhs Woolies Co Op department stores
Johnson’s baby oil mousse, Soap and Glory Girligo moisturising body mist, Vidal Sassoon shampoo that smelt like almonds, Victoria beckham perfume (can’t remember what it was called) Ghost Serenity perfume. Feeling sad now 😔🙃

Deianira · 19/02/2020 23:47

The original ribena light (vanished maybe 10 years ago now...). Now just proper ribena too, the new formula is disgusting.

BHS.

Thatnovembernight · 19/02/2020 23:48

Etam and the Body Shop Strawberry Sundae lip balm!

TrixIrl · 19/02/2020 23:53

La senza. There are no other commercially available lingerie shops for the large of bosom. Or at least not for decent prices!!

Christmadtree · 19/02/2020 23:54

Au Naturale - I know we now have b&m, the range etc but they don't quite hit the mark for me.

Tesco direct. Asda is good but not quite as good.

General one - samples in the supermarket! Used to be the highlight of my shopping trips as a kid, nowhere seems to do this anymore!

Bakers oven chips and gravy.

Herocomplex · 19/02/2020 23:54

Snob, Boules, Chelsea Girl, Next as it was when it first opened, Habitat, Liberty. Loads from when I was young really...

ladycarlotta · 19/02/2020 23:58

What the feck happened to Crabtree and Evelyn? It's such a cheapy crappy brand now. I will never get over the loss of their rosewater glycerine soap. NEVER. I have a few bars stockpiled but then that's it.

happymummy12345 · 20/02/2020 00:00

@alburn absolutely yes I loved them
@poppym12 and @sittingonthefence83 any idea when?
I hope it will be as good as it used to be

Sunstar16 · 20/02/2020 00:01

Max factor discontinued my foundation and I still haven't found one to suit.

HopeClearwater · 20/02/2020 00:33

Yes! Milky Way with the brown inside! Not the nasty sickly white one! Why did they do that?

TheLightGetsIn · 20/02/2020 07:59

Mint Wispas.

Goldwispa · 20/02/2020 08:04

Woolworths, original dairy milk.
