Discontinued Grocery Items

Yes! I was just talking about this last night. I grew up in the south and one of my favorite dishes was black-eyed peas and rice. However, you can't just fix the 2 things and mix them together. You have to do something else that I dont know. Anyways, Glory made a canned version that was Amazing! I bought tons of it each month. But I havent been able to find it for about a year now :( It drives me nuts! Now all they have is canned black-eyed peas.... It happened with the tea I drink as well. It was Sun Gold I think...Sooo gooood! Luckily, the store came out with their own that tastes almost identical :)

I absolutely totally can relate. I was buying sunkist fruit gems every once in a while a few years ago and one supermarket didn't have it so I checked out another grocery store and they had it so if I wanted them I always knew where to get them, but now there are no grocery stores that sell them. A few months ago I happened to come across them and now they don't sell them because it was discontined and the manager told me it's up to the vendor what they want to sell. This has happened many times. It really is infuriating but I have to remember I really don't need it and try to keep myself at peace and remind myself life is too short and why stress myself out but this is about the only real pet peeve I have. In the past they discontinued a soda that had a fruity aftertaste, I think it was pepsi or coke and I really liked it and Gino's spaghetti sauce, chocolate coconut Bundt cake, German Chocolate frosting even though they sell the package cake mix. I figure at least we still have our basic fundamental food groups for now anyway. But I came across your discussion and I had to let you know that I really know how you feel. Take care.

I hate it when that happens. Here where I live you can get an item at one store but not at another. And they are the same company.Another thing that bugs me is that they store of the same company will put items in different places. like honey It will be near the peanut butter in one place and in another store it will be with the syrup. Maybe if you ask the manager they will get the soy milk back. I know it works some times. They want to keep their customers happy.

Stoopppppp...don't shoot yourself hun...You are not alone..I get crazy when I save for something and when I am ready to buy it..it's gone..It feels like a big rock fell on me..All the while I was saving for something and that something is gone..It's just too bad.

This has happened to me a few times. It sure is frustrating. I always try and find something close to the item being discontinued. Sometimes I am successful. Other times I am so disappointed. One item in particular is a chipolte BBQ sauce. I love it. Its been taken off the market.

Eugh! I can totally commiserate. I think they do things like that just to spite and torment customers. When a favorite salad dressing of mine disappeared, I was enraged. Now, five years later, it's back on the shelf! I bet enough people complained that they had to bring it back.

Kraft used to make a dressing called Creamy Cucumber when I was a kid. Sometime several years ago they stopped making it. They have Cucumber Ranch now, but it is not the same. I miss the Creamy Cucumber dressing.

i found that you are really something ! madam!!

I absolutely know how you guys feel! I used to buy this brand of desert cake mixes from Wal-Mart; They had chocolate torte and boston cream pie. Both of which were phenomenal. I havn't been able to find these products at any grocery store for a couple years now and I would order them from the online store but I cannot remember the brand name. If any of you have an idea of what it is please let me know!!!! Email me at tookute4u2004@aol.com and please subject the e-mail something that I will recognize as being from the discussion. Please help me!!! I would appreciate it sooo much!
