Coffee Mate Creamer Shortage -- Say it Ain't So!!!

Beauty Maven — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 22:36:19 GMT

Is anyone experiencing a Coffee Mate shortage in their area? Here in So Florida -- where I drink coffee with sugar-free Italian Sweet Cream Coffee mate every morning -- I can't find it anywhere. None of the stores have the sugar free version. Is this happening anywhere else?

I really do not understand why we are still having supply chain issues at this point.

When it was super bad up here, I was confronted by 1/2 & 1/2 withdrawal. I happened across Land o' Lakes mini creamers- real cream, and they saved my life. I got two boxes before it got really warm here, but I won't buy them again u til the weather is reasonably cool again.

GOOD LUCK! I FEEL your pain!

Hoarding. People are over buying things they think they can't live without.

@Beauty Maven

Try Target, they had it here.....In our grocery stores here in Texas, HEB, for awhile the Coffee Mate Creamer had limited flavors available....But now it seems to be fully stocked except for your flavor. ..... They even carry the Peppermint Mocha flavor all year long here....for while that was missing but even that's back now.....

I had to go in Wal Mart today, I have been just ordering and going and picking it up. There were a lot of empty shelves. I don't get it. Not just food items either, I needed some cabinet liners and all of the kitchen ware area had bare spots.

I wonder what is going on?

I'm in Missouri and buy a few bottles of Coffee Mate creamer every week. I haven't noticed a shortage, although I mainly buy Hazelnut or Vanilla Cinnamon. I'm going to my local grocer tomorrow, so I'll check and see if there is any sweet Italian cream - I'm curious now!

my mom is a coffee mate hoarder. she has back ups after back ups of the original coffee mate powder. she even travels with it when she is out! it is her worst fear that she wont have her sumatra coffee k cups from starbucks and her coffee mate each day.

i buy her coffee mate on amazon.

it says out of stock on amazon.....do you think they might be discontinuing it? they do have the regular italian sweet creme version.

i do see a lot of complaints about the packaging change and the sour taste in a lot of very recent comments right on the product page of the coffee mate website.

I've looked on Amazon (and Target and Walmart). The Italian Sweet Cream flavor is nowhere! It's my only vice and I don't like change! Guess I'll have to live with pumpkin spice. Poor me!!!

Thank you @happycat for understanding!! It's a little thing, but I guess I didn't realize how addicted I was.

I know @happycat -- I'm noticing weird things are disappearing. I couldn't find Jet Dry for the dishwasher the other day. What is so special about Jet Dry?! You certainly don't need it as an emergency supply.

Try to contact the Coffee Mate Company (or whatever corporation manufactures it).

Ok, we have driven thru 5 states on a recent trip...NO Sugar Free Sweet Italian Cream in any of them!!! (or reg)...We emailed coffee mate & it appears there won't be...there are many many folks emailing them requesting it...Its the ONLY one I liked & it's very popular. They give no reason why it's been stopped...Our stores here in Az are lacking in alot of them, but no SF Sweet cream to be had...
