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?

Strawberry milk powder. DD has been craving some after being poorly and it's nowhere.

B&M had it in, and also the straws version

I was going to say Oasis too! It's not in any supermarket or shop near me

I never even knew they sold big bottles of Oasis in the UK! Always get them for the DC in France and they wanted to know why we can't get them at home. They had plenty in France last month.

@Thesearmsofmine
All the Mitchum deodorants are available at Boots online.

MakingNBaking · 16/09/2022 08:01

Any Pedigree dog products. No mixer, nor complete, nor tins, nor dentist in (even the horrid green ones).
Little Dog is fumming.

Cornflour! Haven't been able to get any for months weirdly

Where is all the Dijon mustard?

There's a world shortage currently due to drought in Canada. Even the French can't get it.

Dishwasher salt for months, found it in local corner shop but twice the price of supermarket

OooohAhhhh · 16/09/2022 08:09

Dishwasher salt in Asda, been twice now over past 2 days and shelves are still empty.

Mitchum deodorant.
And I didn’t get any bacon in my last delivery.

KangarooKenny · 16/09/2022 08:12

Dog treats from Tesco. Of the 3 I alternate between, none have been in for weeks.

Is that the one people recommend for those with strong BO issues? if so which one exactly please?

I find the roll on very strong for my skin, I started getting a rash, but it works.
‘I buy the one I call ‘gel’, you twist the wheel at the bottom for it to come up. It’s a solid stick.
If you can’t get the women’s version, the men’s blue one is fine.
Their spray deodorant is good too.

Kids love them and can't find them anywhere!!!

Fry some chicken and boil a few peas. Stir in. Gorgeous!!

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

This is also because most of them come from Ukraine

Nothingfree · 16/09/2022 08:19

Daft as it sounds - Eggs, not online but I can go instore to get them kinda defeats the online shopping vibe 😂

The big 1.5L bottles of Oasis have been discontinued, sadly. We've been searching for them for over 6 months. Tesco and occasionally Home Bargains used to stock them but Tesco have confirmed that they are no more 😭

Big tubs of whole peppercorns and 30-litre bin bags.

You buy apple sauce?🤔

There’s always one! What’s wrong with buying apple sauce, or do you make all your own jam, bake all your own bread, make all your own peanut butter, etc? (I could go on)!

OohThatCat · 16/09/2022 08:26

Alpro unsweetened soy milk, there’s been a big gap in all three Tesco Metro’s I use for weeks. Yesterday I noticed they seemed to have given up and removed the label from the shelf entirely

Have also noticed the Mitchum stick deodorant going in and out of stock randomly near me @Thesearmsofmine @anon666

And I depend on Mitchum as its so much better than the others!! 😢

No supernoodles here for weeks, how my teen is coping is beyond me 😭

It's chicken ones that are missing in our local supermarket, teen has had to move on to beef flavour!

Flowers Sad for weeks now. So well before HRH dying could account for them. This is multiple supermarkets and a wholesaler. I miss them.

Ahhh!! Just realised why there were SO many flowers at our supermarket at about 30% increases cost 🤔Wanted to bu some for a friend this week and was shocked at the a. the massive selection and b. the prices!

rainbowandglitter · 16/09/2022 08:34

Chicken supernoodles here too!

walkersareback · 16/09/2022 08:38

Nappy sacks in Aldi - they were the best - not seen them in ages!
