Which foods do you have trouble finding nowadays? (No call for it?? We still eat it!!)

Not a food item but I cannot find own brand indigestion tablets in any of the supermarkets or high street chemists, only the expensive brand name seems to be available.

Boots are showing their own brand tablets, £2.99 for 48 tablets on buy 1 get one half price.  I use Bisodol, available in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons & Sainsburys at £3.00 for 60 tablets - used to be 100 tablets - and cheaper in Home Bargains.

It is the peppermint/ spearmint supermarket and chemist own brands that all seem to have disappeared from shelves for awhile.I always thought they came from same manufacturer as they where so similar.
Will try those ones mentioned, thanks.

I always had supermarket own ones,  never had a problem finding them . These were my last ones https://www.boots.com/boots-indigestion-relief-500-microgram-orange-flavour-tablets-48-tablets-10290160?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc-_-PLAs_HeroCompare-_--_-PMax:+UK_Smart_Shopping_Healthcare_Other&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsseXote3ggMV44loCR3UZg24EAQYASABEgLOn_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds which are lovely as orange made a change from mint. 

I have omeprazole from the doc now so no longer buy them but they still seem readily available x

Vegetarian jelly (not the RTE pots) - have looked for this since before last Christmas without success - so no trifle. Am trying to avoid such things these days anyway so am now less bothered.

Mnoee

There's also Dr oetker Vege-Gel, mix with fruit juice, heat, cool = jelly. Agar agar works the same, but I think it's only available in waitrose or online. You can use cornflour too, but it's opaque - I've used it to make a strawberry flan sort of thing.

Asda have stopped doing their own brand version of Nytol recently. Probably a ploy to make us pay more for stuff.

It is possible to use the Tesco App to look for stocks of a particular item at individual stores - they have a map. Haven’t found a way of looking for something ‘everywhere’ though.
