Grocery store rant. Feel free to join in!

it's so annoying! but i guess if its not making sales, they remove the items, and make room for the stuff that sell..

Nothing you can really do about that, when its on demand it goes quickly!

I do know exactly what you mean. I've been buying Scrubbing Bubbles Cream bathroom cleaner in an hourglass shaped bottle. I loved the product and when I love the product, I purchase a few of them. Sadly my store has stopped selling the product but in actual fact, I think Scrubbing bubbles took it off the market. I am annoyed.

Exactly

I hate it when I find a product I really like (in this case a salad kit), and use it religiously for a while and then without notice, the store stops carrying it! AHHH 

My pet peeve is buying Nutella at a great price & having a $2.00 coupon to only get it home and look at the expiration date and it is 1/2015...so I'll take it back and get full credit.  I'm usually good about checking expiration dates but failed to do so this time

Doesn't happen to me that often thankfully, but when it does this does seem like a big pain. Once in a while I do run in situations where I cannot find a decent substitute and I feel like I have soak up my pride and choose something less than I would like just to meet a particular need.

[squirrelgirl44]

Yeah, that's pretty typical for me. If I like something, it will inevitably be discontinued

[minioncookies]

Oooh i hate when that happens. But the store usually has a reason for not selling it anymore. Usually when something becomes unprofitable they ditch it and go to something new. I can see if there's not much demand for an item and you had a grocery store would you sell it? i wouldn't it be a liability in making sales if to much goes to waste not sold.

Was it Fresh Market BBQ dressing salad kit??   That's the one I been missing, I'm not sure why they need two shelves of the Asian one now.  The Asian is always sitting there & the BBQ was ALWAYS flying off the shelf!

It happens all the time here. Once a product doesn't star to sell pulled off the shelf it goes

Sometimes the price is keyed in wrong, and I have to wait in line to get the refund, and that is annoying,

I live in the town with the smallest Kroger store in America.  I actually love it.  The staff is really friendly and they will always order in special items for us if we ask.  Also, I think I save money on groceries because my choices are limited and I don't end up buying a lot of specialty foods that are expensive.

Or they quit making it. I was in love with Jimmie Dean skillets and now I can't find them. They made a great meal, all you had to add was eggs.

It happen for me a lot of time. But sometime I ask the store, sometime I just ignore it.

I agree completely! Found great tasting lemonade disappeared from store selves in 2011!
