    I saw some in our local Asda yesterday but it seemed to be twice the price I have paid for it in the past.

    Oooo how to cause a riot on the old style board!
    They had lots in my Tesco today, and some in my B&M.
    Panic buying of Stardrops may now ensue!

    what?! do you think they meant discontinued at that particular shop or chain, or discontinued as in never being made again??????

    My guess is that it is in that particular chain as there is plenty available in the local shops I usually buy it from and no mention of it being discontinued.

    OUr savers is having a complete store overhaul and are currently stocking a lot less stuff but I am told this will be rectified.. didnt enquire as to Stardrops tho as nobody on my area stocks it anyway.

    I do recall a discontinued type scare re Stardrops on these boards last year sometime - turned out to be a relabelling...

    I shouldnt think so Alison as thanks to MSE the company never had it so good... tbh in all my years I had never seen or heard of it til joining MSE so we have turned an obscure product to one in demand . do come back and let us know if you get an answer..

    I know Stardrops have a whole thread paying homage to them on this site but I swear its just washing up liquid. However as a truly frugal person I will finish the bottle before switching brand :p
