When I like something, I like something; I tend to be loyal to that product and am not a big fan of changes or upgrades. I’m the sort of person that isn’t all about hoping on board the first change, the newest upgrade…I’m not what you’d call an early adopter.

This feeling isn’t just reserved for electronics or software, phones or game systems, it extends to food and grooming products.

Take for example my favorite Kashi Waffles
waffles
They are high in protein, high in fiber and taste awesome. Unfortunately you can’t get them ANYWHERE because, according to Kashi’s website, they are experiencing “waffle woes”. Apparently this means that there are some sort of production issues and I can expect not to get my hands on my beloved waffles until sometime in 2011.

Next issue? My favorite shave cream
shave gel
I have horrible razor burn, prior to using this product, any time I’d shave my legs I’d look like I had chicken pox. You can imagine that didn’t feel awesome. I LOVE this stuff, like serious pink puffy heart this stuff and of course I can no longer find it anywhere I shop: Target, Walgreens, Kroger, Costco-I’ve tried them all and NADA. They have all the other Aveeno products but the one thing I use with any regularity? It just up and disappears. *cry*

And finally, my favorite Gluten Free cereal
cereal
Chocolate Chex is freaking awesome and there was a time I was regularly buying 3 boxes at a time. My Kroger was offering coupons regularly as well. Then, one day? GONE. No more Chex of any kind expect Rice at all, anywhere in the store. GAH.

Does this happen to y’all?

yes - with food items and with TV shows. if i like it - chances are it’ll be cancelled or discontinued.

i’ll look for the Chex and Aveeno here for you. Have you tried Ulta or a place like that for the Aveeno??

EVERY DANGED TIME I find something I love at Sam’s…. those buttholes quit carrying it. But I’m not bitter. NOOOO. Not me.

GAH!

I loved the Aveeno Shaving Cream! What the heck are they thinking?

BTW- I showed my mom the Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and she got some the other day! Hairspiration, that’s what you are!

Re: chocolate chex- you should probably move.

Yes! My saddest moment was when Bath & Body Works discontinued Gardenia.

Mainly with makeup. My “style” is to roll up to a makeup counter, tell the beauty school dropout to make me look like Halle Berry or a Kardashian, end up looking like Tara from “True Blood”, buy whatever product annoyed me the least only to find they discontinue it later.

i checked Ulta for the Aveeno and got a total blank stare - but went through every Aveeno and hair removal area they had anyway. Nada. Gonna try HEB later.

Alyssa Says:

Wow that sucks, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Have you tried looking online for shaving cream? I know that sounds a little silly but sometimes you can find that type of thing cheap enough to make it worth it :)

Deodorant. Every time I find one I like, its discontinued within a year. Five times now.
