I can provide a service to you, and it's all for free! If you want to know which item at Trader Joe's is about to suddenly and inexplicably disappear from their shelves, I can tell you—because that will be the item that someone in our family has just become addicted to! Today it was the cinnamon-coated almonds. I eat them by the handful. Whoops, I mean "used to eat." This is the fifth time this has happened just in recent memory.
UPDATE: I just called TJ's corporate offices; they said the cinnamon almonds will be back in 3–4 weeks! I can wait that long, sure I can. . . .
They are constantly running out of the low-carb tortilal & soy chip sto. *sigh*

Don't you just hate that!? We have an OceanSpray factory near by and they used to have a store I could get cranacot juice and the best raspberry vinegrette you've ever tasted - but not distributed in LV stores. One day I went and they said the cranacot was being discontinued. A few weeks latter the same story with the dressing. I said "would you just like me to give you a list of my favorites now and get it over with?" I stopped going there and then later the store section was shut down. I like to think I had a hand in that. :)

This is a problem that seems to happen to everyone the world over - more often than not to my husband's favourite products!

FYI, the bag of those that you gave me on Saturday is halfway empty already :)

I am very upset to find that Trader Joe's just discontinued the "Trader Joes Japanese Green Sencha tea" I am told I cannot buy it anywhere it was pulled from all the stores. I find I cannot even order it online.
I tried the other green teas they have and will not be buying them again. I did NOT like them.
Is there any hope of me finding this tea again?

Trader Joe's Company, Inc. earlier this year had a Seafood Newburg in a microwave package.
Best microwave package, I ever tasted. Returned a month later to buy several more.
Store said, it is discontinued. WHY ???????????????
