Has anything you usually buy recently just disappeared from shops?

I cannot find 'cook at home' poppadums anywhere. Used to be in most supermarkets. I used to buy them all the time. I go to my local Indian shop for them sometimes but they've usually only got flavours I don't favour. The ready made ones aren't as nice and are usually in a load of plastic non-recylcable packaging which doesn't please me either.

I don't mean products that have been discontinued a long time ago, more so things that still exist but you just can't buy anywhere from recently!

Own brand coffee creamer is another one. Don't use it myself but I've heard people at work saying this often.

President spreadable butter

Clawdy · 01/03/2024 16:02

President is my favourite butter. Disappeared for a while but now plenty in local Sainsburys and Tesco.

Pork gravy granules. They disappeared a few months ago.

Yes!!
First Frollies, now struggling to get hold of Yollies!

I got some in Tesco on Thursday. I hadn’t been able to put them in my online order, but I popped into a different store and they had them.

Now I can’t find salt and vinegar Snackajacks in the individual packs - unfortunately, DD is obsessed with them!

If you have a Farmfoods or Heron Foods near you, try it, they sell so much of the stuff mentioned here - they seem to get a lot of things that are end of line, check the dates as they can be short dated but everything I’ve struggled to get in a larger supermarket I’ve found in one of these

So many things I used to buy regularly in Boots. My local stores look like they've been ransacked every time I go there, lots of empty/almost empty shelves. Also floors held down with tape, broken shelves etc... What's happened?

I found this. Usually get bisto best pork granules but had to get Tesco own and they were really lumpy Angry

Soluble Solpadeine Max. I take it a couple of days a month for bad period cramps and it's very hit and miss whether I can get it.

Found in Tesco this morning but the box has changed to containing 24 instead of 32.
I guess that's because of the addiction factor of the codeine but it's a pest.

Body form night pads without wings.

Hate winged towels so their ‘new’ ones don’t suit me. They were the only ones that matched my flow and sleeping patterns as I need pads as far to the front as possible as I sleep on my front. Winged ones force you to put it too low down.

Far from ideal but did you try cutting the wings off

Breakaway biscuits are being discontinued from March. Love a couple with a cup of tea. Managed to stock up with loads of them.

Golden Syrup in a tin is getting very hard to find. I refuse to buy it in wretched plastic bottles.

Red Bounty

i miss them so much- I don’t like coconut in anything else, not even the smell of things like coconut shampoo but I LOVE a red Bounty

Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter. It worked wonders for my husbands eczema.

winniedog · 05/03/2024 11:23

Azera latte in the small tin. Apparently it's been discontinued. We used to buy it in bulk.

Tallisker · 05/03/2024 17:51

Bisto powder. Gravy granules, yes, Bisto powder hard to get.

@DoodlesMam
Is there a Lidl near you? It’s Italian week at Lidl and I bought a large and some small scamorza from there today x 😀

Fry's Coffee Cream. No stock anywhere

ehb102 · 06/03/2024 06:51

Powdered coconut milk. I don't always want to pen a 400ml tin.

200g tins of anything except baked beans.

Barts yellow Thai curry paste, the mild one that the child would eat.
