Why don't you ask the manager of the grocery stores where you shop if
they can stock it. I just saw Johnsonville's original recipe sausage on
the shelves of a supermarket near me yesterday, so I know they're still
available. Perhaps your supermarket was just sold out of that variety.

I have done just that. It wasn't just one store, or I would just have gotten it
somewhere else. It was like that maple syrup version came out and all 3 of the
grocery stores near my dumped the original in favor of it.
My post wasn't just about the sausage though, that was an example. It just seems like
every time I find something I really like, it's suddenly gone when I go to buy it
again :/
