Does it drive you mad, when you have been using a product for a long
period of time, and they stop making that product?


I have to go thru alot of products to find a new one that suits
me..................ugh huh

they've got to make room for the new ones somehow, right?

it's a minor irritant for me...since there's almost always an improved
version somewhere around the corner.

i work in retail, and we rotate products several times per
year...removing the ones that didn't sell as well or that the
manufacturer chose, for whatever reason, to switch.

I agree with you TT. It is very frustrating. It seems like everytime I
find something I really like, they quit making it.

But LuLu, sometimes their "new & improved" version isn't as good as the
original product was. That's what I find frustrating.

they still have to make room for the new ones...take whatever doesn't
have a great profit margin and replace it with the hopes of making
better profit.

have you looked into ordering the product directly from the
manufacturer, kim? in case it's just the store that stopped carrying
it?

Yes, it happens to me all the time.

Cleaning products are the worst. Every time I find something I really
like and buy regularly, then I can't find it anywhere.

I think they have a chip in my head and see what I buy, just so's they
can go and discontinue what I like.

grumble Stupid chips.

Yep sure does.
Fine example:
Been on a breathing medication for year's.
They are discontinuing this perticular product-due to the fact that it
is harmful to the enviroment. Thats wierd-I've been inhaling this
medicine for year's. If its dangerous to the enviroment-what the hecks
it been doing to my lungs all these years?noway Sorry had to sound
off!
Really irks me when you find a speical perfume and they discontinue
it-can't really find a replacement for some thing's...:cry:
