What's suddenly not in shops near you?

[Gagagardener]

I've been trying to buy cream of tartar for all of September. None in Coop or Tesco in three towns. A friend bought the only tub on the shelves of an upmarket foodie shop further afield today. She lent me it so I could take what I needed for scones promised for a village event, but she wanted it back. There's bicarb soda and baking powder - why no cream of tartar?

I work in a supermarket and the only thing I'm aware of is fairy liquid due to cap change. No other shortage.

Chive and onion New York bagels. Plenty of the plain and cinnamon ones.

Ukraine is by far the biggest producer of mustard seeds, hence the shortage.

They also produce loads of sunflower products, so a big impact on cooking oil market.

Coffee Mate, or any own brand coffee whitener. I don’t like milk in coffee so only this will do.

I think they got delisted at co op.

I've only ever seen it in glass bottles and it's expensive compared to veg oil. The dog gets the posh stuff to help with his skin/coat from allergies. Us minions have to make do.

Its actually one thing I won't budge on with the increasing prices.... Pets, who'd have them!!

Solid deodorant should be making a come back soon (I got the Sure one with my Tesco delivery at the weekend). It used to be made in Russia, but they’ve switched production to Italy!

Bright orange processed toxic macaroni cheese in a box. I make my own with fresh pasta and 4 kinds of cheese but it isn't the bloody same and I've looked everywhere within 15 miles 🤬 also at one point, sandwich pickle was OOS in Lidl and my nearest shop after that wanted £3 a jar, Rockefeller I ain't.

I know darling, and hardly a quince or persimmon to be had anywhere.

Our aldi def has this.... My teen is home for long weekend so always have to stock up on it.... And super noodles.

There's loads of things I can no longer find in my local supermarket. And judging by the local FB pages I'm not the only one complaining. They've had a refit in the shop and rearranged everything on the most unlikely shelves. Cat food next to the washing powder down where they used to keep the jam? Of course it is. Doh.

It’s because one of the plastic things turning it around or something is made in Russia, people emptied the shops months ago when this was found out.

Try Morrisons for cannelloni tubes

@keeprunning55 yes, pain au chocolat also the same in Aldi. Fuck knows where it’s gone?

Not in the UK but McCoy’s salt&vinegar has been impossible to order for the last 6 months.

Tinned sardines, goats cheese,

Jam sugar. Found some eventually but not until we'd tried four different supermarkets.

My local large Tesco didn't have cling film today. I'm not sure if it's been out of stock for ages or just recently. It's not something we buy that frequently

Red Bounty missing from my local Sainsbury’s, and has been for a month or so.

Found it in a pound shop near my workplace though.

Cocktail sticks. For MONTHS.

Freezer bags
sqaush
eggs
sugar
yoghurts
and when they do have products it’s at the start of the day and if you go late the empty shelves are staggering,so they seem to always have a lot less of products.
you used to be able to go to the shops anytime.if you wait til anytime after late afternoon now the shelves are getting bare.fresh products non existent at that time.

I read about this.
people searched all products made in Russia to stock up.
but what they forgot was what machinery.ingredients or gadgets that go into everyday products are also made in Russia.so those companies still can’t make products originally produced in Russia or not.

Seeing's lots of places seem to be rearranging their layouts.... Try checking next to toothpaste 😜

All types of cherries - fresh, maraschino, frozen, canned, even frozen.

I second that!
