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?

French mustard & Dijon mustard

Dry roll on deodorant if any kind. For about a month now. Very annoying.
And on a few occasions meat of any kind except for super spenny lamb

Blancmange powder - the strawberry one as they haven't done 'sets' for years! I know I can get it off Amazon but it used to be always in the shops.

😂😂

Round here it’s watermelon season - all the local greengrocers have stacks of the things, lovely and ripe, for very cheap. So I thought it was watermelon season!!

How strange!

Filo pastry

See if I can get to a proper greengrocer this weekend!

Cucumbers have been absent in our morrisons for a while. But able to get them in lidl.

Dishwasher salt. Weirdly hard to get to hold of, and Asda has stopped selling it completely.

Ironing water- haven’t been able to find it for months now.

Mitchum dry stick deodorant- though FINALLY got one last week.

Fishfingers Birds eye 100% cod tried some Young's Fishfingers absolutely disgusting yuch....sourced high packets of 30 from Iceland online yah hhh waiting for them now..nothing beats the Captain's Fishfingers. Even McDonalds have replaced the cod Fishfingers happy meal for horrible Pollock.....yuch....

No coffee beans in three branches of Aldi. Very few in Sainsbury’s.

Nothing in particular. I live within easy radius of about 8 big supermarkets so anything I've noticed one doesn't have the, one of the others do have it. Just come back from Sainsburys. Loads of flowers available.

Sweetcorn Sauce/Salsa... havent been able to get it anywhere bar one specific Sainsburys since brexit.

I also noticed several resteraunts cut back on sweetcorn too and our pizza place put the price up... I had no idea that would be the brexit effect but I love sweetcorn.

Chives! And not suddenly but for over the past year, Pepto Bismol & the Boots own brand of this. Something to do with some chemical in it. The shops are strange these days.

Warbuton pancakes and slim line tonic in the south east

Another one for me. Carrs Water Bics - only cheesy ones available in lots of places.

Cartons of coconut milk

I bought a Tesco Indian meal box, which from memory would've usually had an assortment of samosas etc. This one just had several onion bhajis.

Wensleydale cheese has been hard to find this week

My usual supermarket hasn’t had the following for weeks -

Chicken Super Noodles
Imperial Leather shower gels
Nivea face wash
Frozen sliced green beans or frozen cabbage
Cream of Tartar (I had to buy sachets)

It looks like quite a lot of diet type drinks so I wonder if its the sweetener and where it comes from.

There seems to have been run on stuffed Paddington Bears.
Can't get one for love or honey. (Oh, that's the other one isn't it!)

Vinegar

Got Watermelon! It was in a local greengrocer.

Previously I'd been looking in all the supermarkets. Thanks for the advice. 👍🏻
