Lidl. Had the most amazing smoked tuna with wasabi paste. I bought lots. Then they just stopped. No explanation. No goodbyes. No weaning me off.

I asked in store. They don't know. I emailed Lidl. They said they'll ask the buyers. I don't know if they did cos they didn't tell me. But it didn't reappear on the shelves.

I have googled my head off and can not find smoked tuna anywhere.

Help!! Send smoked tuna!

Lidl do this all the time. It drives me insane!

Cockw0mble · 26/08/2019 15:40

Lidl ruined my life when they stopped stocking crab and prawn panzerotti, so you have my fullest sympathies!

I have never got over the sad loss of Worcester sauce twiglets Sad

Georgiemcgeorgeface · 26/08/2019 15:41

@HalfDeadHousePlant I'm actually in mourning for it.
I found it at Ocado shortly after. Then they stopped! Wankers

@Bambamber. No sorry, twiglets are evil. They should all go.

Those bastards at Lidl also discontinued the Christmas chocolate coated praline marzipan bars.

MaureenMLove · 26/08/2019 15:43

I sent a tongue in cheek email to Sainsbury, when they changed the recipe for their own brown sauce. I was devastated. It was the only one I liked and all of a sudden - gone!

They sent me an equally tongue in cheek email back and £20 worth of Nectar points! Grin. I also happened to see the old stock was on special for 10p each in a local branch!Shock. I bought them all! Grin

HalfDeadHousePlant · 26/08/2019 15:43

I feel your pain. The only comfort is that sometimes they bring these things back in the luxury ranges at Christmas, Easter etc.

As an aside, they currently have Argentine Red Shrimp in the freezer section for 7.99 a box. There's absolutely LOADS in the box and they are very very nice indeed.

@Grambler the BASTARDS

@HalfDeadHousePlant my god. You've given me hope. Roll on crimbo!
Although, you might have ruined my Christmas now if they don't do it.

@MyCatIsNotAllThat oh now you're really setting me off. I've just remembered the trauma of YSL discontinuing my fave mascara last year. DO THESE PEOPLE NOT CARE

Tesco,
Where is the wicked range 3 onion dip
The only vegan onion dip I know of ,I bought it faithfully.with no warning ..gone ..

Readytogogogo · 26/08/2019 16:26

Marks and Spencer used to do the best sweets ever...fruit rocks. It years and years since they discontinued them and I'm still sad.

Oblomov19 · 26/08/2019 16:26

This gives me the absolute rage. Sainsbury's vinaigrette, Tesco cauliflower burgers. Drives me nutty.

GreenwoodLane · 26/08/2019 16:31

Lidl did it to me with their salmon pate. Buggers.

SirJamesTalbotAndHisSpeculum · 26/08/2019 16:31

No!

Please don't tell me that M & S Fruit Rocks have been discontinued.

It is the end.

CookPassBabtridge · 26/08/2019 17:11

I get so fucked off when my favourite things get discontinued! Surely if I love it then others do too!? GrinWink I really miss Mars Delight bars and starburst joosters. It's hard to find a public response from companies about discontinued items.. we want to know!

Fireinthegrate · 26/08/2019 17:14

L’Oreal discontinued my favourite lipstick and I have exhausted supplies from ebay and amazon.
Just cannot find an alternative I like.

FelicityBeedle · 26/08/2019 17:17

Asda Liquid talc, I don’t know if it’s actually discontinued but some evil bugger went and publicised how amazing it is for chub rub and people bought out all the shops supplies and sell it on eBay for 10x the price! I’ve been happily using it for an age and have had to wear sodding shorts under all my summer dresses now. It’s bedn out of stock for 6 months! Surely they could have made more by now

Solonelywastheballard · 26/08/2019 17:17

I fell in love with chocolate popcorn, then it disappeared. Then coconut and vanilla popcorn, then that disappeared. Now it's hard to even find sweet and salted.

It's like no-one else likes popcorn as much as me.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 26/08/2019 17:22

I’m sure these stores would probably say that there isn’t enough demand for the products. But we are demanding them. They’re just not taking any notice.

Sainsbury’s St Clements and lime juice was my special treat. Gone, gone, gone.

Bloomburger · 26/08/2019 17:23

Lidl are fuckers for this.

Did big buckets of Greek style strawberry yogurt. I swear it's the same stuff they serve at Sani for breakfast. Tasted exactly like strawberry angel delight without all the E numbers.

Then out of the blue it's gone.

Fuckers.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 26/08/2019 17:23

Tesco discontinued their smoked hummus - it was gorgeous. Waitrose do a smoked hummus but it is too spicy for me.

Tesco discontinued too many things I like and/or need, so now I shop at Sainsbury’s.
