Pantene shampoo and conditioner? Can't find it online, can't find it in my local stores.

Have Tesco's stopped selling it for a reason or its it purely to annoy me while Im pg and can't muster the energy to make it into my local town with 4 under 3's?

YABU

Tamarto · 12/05/2009 18:50

LOL YABU purely for using the crap that is pantene

Surfermum · 12/05/2009 18:51

Why is it crap? I try others but always go back to it.

LucyTownsend · 12/05/2009 18:55

Superdrug is in local town, no other shops in village sell shampoo. I do my main shop online as its just too much hassle otherwise.

I don't want to have to make a special trip in just for shampoo [sulky strop emoticon]

And pantene makes my hair shiny! I need to feel good when I look like Im edging into Whalehood status!

they are selling big bottles of Pantene reduced to clear in my local Tesco, so probably discontinued

lucy with 4 under 3's and PG you are allowed to be as Unreasonable as you want

I couldn't find any cotton buds in Tesco earlier. Have they no been declared unsafe after people stuck them too far down their ears or something?

LucyTownsend · 12/05/2009 19:03

Discontinued?! Nooooo

Thanks Shoshe!

I'm not the voice of Pantene, I'm just guessing

Ivykaty44 · 12/05/2009 19:08

Probably pantene and tesco fell out, so they refuse to stock it and sell it off cheap to clear the shelf space for a better paying shampoo companmy that will pay them more to stock it

I get annoyed with Tesco because there are quite a few products that they just don't stock-I hate the way they decide what the customer is going to be able to buy.

Morloth · 12/05/2009 19:21

Try mysupermarket.co.uk - you can do a shop in all four of the online grocers and then just checkout the cheapest one. One of them should have it.

yappybluedog · 12/05/2009 19:25

Pantene is made by Proctor & Gamble - they make 1000's of products, so I doubt it's because of a row with Tesco

Ivykaty44 · 12/05/2009 19:26

I agree Piscesmoon, they only stock either what they know they can shift at a good profit or if the company pay for shelf space. But of course they can dictate as they have shut down the small customer friendly shops that wanted to sell you what you wanted.

In my local Tesco they've stopped selling the large jars of Marmite and their own brand peanut butter which has really annoyed me - with 4DCs and lots of sandwiches to make it costs quite a bit more to buy the smaller sizes.

They might be re-packaging. Selling off the old style bottle before the new one comes in.
