Perhaps an Indian grocers may stock sago, otherwise it is online. @flow2

Bisto gravy powder for chicken has gone. 
Gravy powder is much more economical.

Potato Starch, Salt, Wheat Starch, Colour (Ammonia Caramel), Onion Powder, Inactive Yeast Powder

I don’t like all the added junk in gravy granules.

Potato Starch, Maltodextrin, Palm Fat, Salt, Wheat Flour (with added Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Colour (Ammonia Caramel), Sugar, Flavourings, Flavour Enhancers (Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium 5'-Ribonucleotides), Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Black Pepper Extract, Rosemary Extract, Onion Oil.

Weetabix Crunchy Bran. We discovered these a few years back  Then they completely disappeared. (We don’t eat them because they’re healthy - although they are high fibre - we love the taste and texture). 

So I emailed the company to complain and after a while they sent us a voucher and a list of where to get them, including the shops they had disappeared from. Still something we eat regularly (‘scuse the pun).

I miss having the little bag of giblets in with the chickens, They made lovely gravy. Lots of offal is no longer available I particularly liked ox liver.. Also has anyone seen cod cheeks I haven't seen them for years.
Lots of tv chefs show us how to cook cheaper cuts of meat on the tv but they seem to be the only ones who can get hold of them (ie beef cheeks)

Lack of biscuits in my local Asda, I have noticed similar before. Short staffed at Asda or a national shortage?

M&S walnut bread, haven't seen this for years now. I don't eat a lot of bread but I'd make an exception if I could find this again

I get ox liver, offal and beef cheeks from my butcher. All readily available where I am.

I bought date and walnut loaves last year I think, mistake as they were just too easy to scoff.

I used to like the "Birds appeal" or "Rise and Shine" powdered orange juice drink. Very tangy and refreshing.

I remember taking Libby's into school and being told to drink Adam's Ale instead.
