Bath & Body Works has done that to me quite a few times. Every
time I find a scent of body lotion that I love they discontinue it the next season. I told that manager of the store that if they did it to me one more time I was going to stop buying their products. I do like their body lotions though. I have very dry skin and this is one of the brands that really works for me.

Yes! Like Jan in VA, every time I find a good comfortable bra I like it seems to be discontinued. So far they are still making the 18hour comfort bra......:) Trader Joe's discontinued some of my favorite sauces and their UFOs which I love. Didn't need them, but it was my "treat".....

All the time. Once the grocery chain I shop at went to computers I was sure they "watched" what I bought and then discontinued it.
Now I have a different issue with them.......it seems that everything I buy regularly (which they can't discontinue) is now stocked on the topmost shelf. Bear in mind that I am only 4'10" (less if you go by my doctor's assistant's measurement)! :shock: :shock: :shock:
I grew up in Hawaii where the longshoremen would shut down the warf for three months at a time...nothing was unloaded. So, we learned to stock up on basics...and that included toilet paper!

I told my dh that the companies should pay me not to like their products, because if I really liked them, they seemed to go right out of business, lol....so I feel your pain. He loves English Leather deodorant. Frankly, I have been waiting FOREVER for that to disappear from the shelves. I bought him Armani. Think he would go for it? Ha.
But let me like it? Gone......
