TROLLEY DASH Marmite brings back popular discontinued cupboard staple nine months after it was axed from shelves

Unilever, which makes Marmite, has confirmed Marmite Peanut Butter has returned permanently.

Marmite has brought back its Marmite Peanut Butter spread
The nutty and yeasty breakfast spread first appeared on shelves in 2019 causing a stir, but was discontinued nine months ago.
However, Unilever has reintroduced it to shelves with shoppers able to pick it up from Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
We've also spotted the 225g tub on sale at Co-op. Both Co-op and Tesco are selling it for £3 while Ocado is stocking it for £3.50.
Some shoppers have already started clocking the returning favourite on shelves.
One recently posted on the Food Finds UK Facebook page: "Spotted: Marmite Crunchy Peanut Butter is back!"
Commenting on the post, one person said: "It's sooooo good."
Another added: "This (has) been missing for ages."
Unilever confirmed it had axed Marmite Peanut Butter last September with a spokesperson adding: "We're always reviewing our ranges to make sure our products reflect shopper preferences, whilst also focusing on new innovations."
"Whilst we will no longer be making Marmite peanut butter, we are working on some new and exciting launches within our licensing range to bring our iconic Marmite flavour to shoppers in new ways and formats."
But the news left shoppers distraught with one saying on Reddit: "Just read it's been discontinued. I'm gutted. Tried Marmite and crunchy peanut butter together. Nothing like it. Sad times."
Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK?
And another chipped in: "I literally have it every day for breakfast, I'm gutted!"
It's worth bearing in mind, retailers and manufacturers regularly discontinue products and items based on customer sales and trends.
Steph Herbert, head of marketing at crisp brand Walkers, told The Sun a lot of products get axed due to limited shelf space in supermarkets too.
OTHER DISCONTINUED ITEMS
Greggs exclusively revealed to The Sun the Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite had been dropped from menus recently.
But, the bakery chain said it was to make way for the new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May.
Meanwhile, Tesco also recently confirmed it had axed its own-brand beef sausages.
It came after Tesco confirmed it axed popular southern fried chicken flavour instant noodles.
The pack costed around 50p, but was dropped and replaced with another chicken flavour shoppers could buy.
Tesco also recently cut its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range.
The Sun exclusively revealed last month Cadbury's axed Fry's Coffee Cream after first launching it in 2023 too.
Meanwhile, Domino's this month confirmed it had axed its Ultimate Chicken Mexicana Pizza after first launching it in 2023.

Little-known Clubcard rule called 'kick in the teeth' for Tesco customers
There's nothing better than scanning your Tesco Clubcard at the end of your shop and seeing that price go down – though it would be much nicer if the prices were just cheaper to start off with. Especially considering the fact that not everyone is allowed to use a Clubcard to save those valuable pennies. In fact, consumer watchdog Which? dubbed the supermarket's benefits scheme a 'teenage kick in the teeth', because the card has an age limit. You can't use a Clubcard if you're under the age of 18, meaning younger shoppers are forced to pay higher prices. This restriction means Tesco has been named a winner of the Which? 2025 'Shoddie awards' – dedicated to exposing annoying practices in supermarket retailers. Now, it's not the only retailer that has this age limit on its benefits card. Morrisons and Waitrose also have an 18 or older rule, and even prevent people without fixed addresses from accessing lower prices. Lidl got a shout out too, particularly for having a loyalty card only available via an app, so those without access to 'digital connectivity' also suffer. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The consumer champion suggested opting for schemes offered by Co-op or Sainsbury's. These supermarkets let you join their loyalty schemes if you're 16 or over, and you can get a card to scan, so if you don't have a phone, you're covered. Aldi is also a great alternative because, despite not having a loyalty card, it still regularly offers the cheapest groceries in the monthly price comparison. It had the most affordable supermarket shop in June, charging £131.52 for a 79 item shop, although Lidl was close behind at just 37p more expensive (without the loyalty card). Asda came third, with the same basket of groceries costing £144.82, a whole £2 cheaper than a Tesco shop with the Clubcard discount. While the age limit on the Clubcard is annoying, there's one perk we can't stop thinking about. To celebrate the loyalty scheme's 30th year, a million Virgin points will be awarded to one lucky customer to be spent on holidays, flights, travel upgrades and experiences galore. For context, this top prize is enough for three nights (for two people) at the Mahali Mzuri luxury safari resort in Kenya's Maasai Mara, three nights at the Kasbah Tamadot retreat in the Atlas mountains, and six nights at Mont Rochelle in the heart of South Africa's wine region. More Trending Five runners up will also get 500,000 points each, equivalent to the value of around $7,000 (£5,174) according to Nerdwallet analysis. To be in the running, all you need to do is auto-exchange a minimum of 250 Clubcard points with Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. But you'll need to act fast, as the competition closes on July 20. And even if you don't win the big jackpot, all new Clubcard members who register before the deadline will get 5,000 bonus Virgin Points. Every scheme is different, with only a handful offering points. Most offer extra savings via the app, so make sure you check these before heading out to shop. Here are the key benefits each supermarket offers it members: Asda Rewards Variable cashback on selected products and 'missions' Co-op Member Coupons in app and member prices Iceland Bonus Card £1 back for every £20 you load onto your card and member prices Lidl Plus Coupons in app M&S Sparks Coupons in app and the chance to win your shop Morrisons More Points on selected products and member prices Sainsbury's Nectar One point per £1 spent with extra points available on selected products via app and member prices Tesco Clubcard One point per £1 spent and member prices MyWaitrose Coupons in app and free hot drink Do you have a story to share?

Tesco shoppers slam awful new US-style trolleys amid trial
Tesco shoppers have slammed the supermarket's new American-style trolleys as a 'waste of money' after being spotted in the UK. The new designs, which some customers have said 'look awful' aim to be lighter and easier to move around stores, with less noise too. It comes as Tesco has been trialling hybrid trolleys, which are made of a metal chassis with a black plastic basket, at its Sheffield Infirmary Superstore. The trolleys might look familiar to shoppers as the design is similar to those being used at big US chains such as Target, known for its famous bright red carts. @depopdrama there's no way 🤯 #tesco #supermarket #shopping ♬ Mysterious and sad BGM(1120058) - S and N Hannah Lewis, managing director of trolley supplier Formbar, told The Sun that shops and customers will prefer them. Hannah explained: 'Trolleys are important, they are the first thing you see as you go into a supermarket. 'The plastic ones are more cost-effective to maintain, as well as being fully recyclable. 'We'll be seeing them much more in the future which I think people will like as they are easier to push around than the steel ones, and they are quieter too with no metal rattling sounds.' Tesco shoppers slam supermarket's new plastic hybrid trolleys 'a waste' However, after one customer posted a picture of the new plastic Tesco trolleys on Reddit, which they had seen during a recent visit, some aren't fans of the improved look. Simple Ways to Shop Sustainably and Save Money One commented: 'Like plastic baskets, these will end up grubby and stinking very quickly.' Another shared: 'They ain't gonna last a week.' While this person wrote: 'What a waste of money.' Someone else slammed: 'They look awful.' But many shoppers were pleased with the latest trolley invention by the supermarket, as this member of the subreddit r/Tesco said: 'They look very modern.' A second chimed: 'I don't see what's wrong. Plastic baskets on shopping trolleys have been a think [thing] in the U.S. and many other countries for decades. They work just fine. Overall unit weight and price is reduced.'
