Not available in the two branches in my town, nor in the much bigger branch a few miles away, from which online orders are picked. If we had to drive miles away to get it, we would be paying more for petrol.sarah1972 said:

Cherry Airwave gum seems to be only available in Sainsburys which isn't a convenient place for me to shop.

No I haven't seen it Brie. Come to think of it I've not seen the Black Mint one either (the one I like)...Honi swanky malyponze. Or something.2

That’s a shame as readily available where I am, not that I would buy mineral water but for those that can justify it, it must be area dependant.MrsStepford said:

One product that I have found, albeit not in a supermarket.. cod liver. Unlike cod liver oil it doesn't taste disgusting. Doesn't even taste fishy, straight from the can. The brand that I found is Steinhauer, in a yellow can, 2.99 for 120g at Europa Food so comparable with those King Oscar sardines.0

molerat said:Muller FRUIT yoghurts, full of sugar & cereals etc have multiple choices but the fruit range has reduced to cherry and strawberry and lately rhubarb. Cranberry only available in the 6 pack small pots and, if the cherry and strawberry are anything to go by, is not the same as the single pots. Corners used to be available in a few varieties but are now only generally available in cherry and strawberry.I posted this on page 2. It is now even worse with Tesco removing cherry light from the shelves and corners being limited to strawberry in the singles.In my store Cherry was the one that was always running out so they must have been selling it !

I have found Campbell's condensed soup in American stores in London, online. Full of nasties though, e.g. high fructose corn syrup. So not discontinued everywhere.0

Mr Kiplings Strawberry Sundaes.
Flan cases. Used to often buy empty sponge flan cases and make a flan with fruit and jelly.
Blancmange.
I am really worried that Bisto powder may disappear soon!0 -
Marks & Spencers - Cheese Puffs 9d ... but maybe that's because they changed the currency. They were delicious though if a bit expensive.2

I thought you could still buy these?Chloe_G said:
