Say It Ain't So, Joe!

the Greek Yogurt - FAGE :(. Guess the company in Greece did not have the right license

Annies "Goddess Dressing", replaced with another Trader Joe's copy.

Pepperoncini

Hopefully those huge bottles of maples syrup are just temporarily out of stock

It's still around, at least in the Eugene, OR, Joe's........stuff is YUMMY.

FRESH MARGARITA MIX!!!

Argh!!! There is no substitute.

Patron check
Cointreau check (although that new patron stuff that tj's carries is a nice cheap substitute)
Limes AND Lemons check
mix :( (once you take that stuff out of the picture, they are all the same)

The lambic is bAAAAAAck. You best stock up!

Stephen's Hot Sipping Cocoa in Mint Truffle. You can order it from the manufacturer's website, but of course, only by incurring pricey shipping expenses that make it almost 3x as expensive as picking up a can at your local TJS.

Where's the buttah? I've developed a serious addiction to that yummy British butter they carried, and now it's gone! I hope that's a temporary lapse?

Aspen apple soda...I'm sure it's not TJ's fault though....I'm thinking they folded. I miss that stuff though!
I miss the crunchy coated peanuts too Ann!

Speaking of the inferior Joe label type, they also replaced Seventh Generation dish soap with a Trader Joe's version that just isn't the same. Wish they'd bring back the Seventh Generation--I hate having to pay almost $4 for a bottle of it at Whole Foods.

Oh, and those fat-free and vegetarian Italian sausages from Lightlife were good, too, especially with a nice marinara sauce.

The low-fat Pumpkin Cranberry tea loaf is back--in San Francisco anyway. I saw some on the shelf at the Bay St. location last night. Incidentally, TJS sells these 3-packs of Belgian chocolate bars at the checkout stands, but they never seem to have the white chocolate with crisped rice bars anymore. Does anyone know whether they're gone for good or whether the stores just can't keep them in stock?

The Wasabi Cashews. Waaaaaah!

It's the first day of summer and it makes me mourn the fresh margarita mix all over again :(

My roommate was ruined by the Thai Peanut sauce
being discontinued. I was standing in the aisle the other day and I overheard the employees listing off all the stuff they had just discontinued... I heard something else about a lemon muffin mix?

Fortunately my TJ's has a "New arrivals" display. That sorta makes up for some of the stuff going missin'.

Anyone had the Priga Kahn (sp?) frozen Thai beans? OMG, so yummy...

yay, they brought back the trader joe's version of dolmas ;-P

I can relate to your devastation after TJ's discontinued the Chipotle Sauce...my son told me a few months ago, "Do NOT let us EVER run out of this stuff..." I bought 8 bottles and luckily we still have a couple left!

I've worked at TJ's for about a year and it's frustrating to the employees, as well as the customers, when something is discontinued.
Items get "discontinued" for several reasons...
-slow sales
-supplier problems
-the product is seasonal and limited supply
-change of label...ie. label becomes TJ, but product is made by the same company...
-sometimes it's a shipping problem and the product is not discontinued. Be sure to ask about the product that is MIA on the shelves...it may be expected back very soon!

Be sure to get the Customer Service number and call them if you want a product back. If enough people request it, sometimes a product comes back!

Also...be sure to let the management (or customer service) know about products you LOVE...and employees that have helped you...it's always nice to hear the good comments, too! :-)

No Cocoa! Little tins of Dutch exquisiteness? Oh... this is a sad day for my baking plans..... you haven't experienced the rush of Christmas sugar til you've tried one of my cocoa frosted marshmallow cookies. Only made once a year, cause they are a PAIN! Van Houten is so much better than Hershey's! Good thing I still have half a can from last year.

And I'm on a diet this year - maybe only make a double batch, instead of quadruple as per usual.
But I'll keep my eye out - sometimes they stock holiday specials randomly.
