        <content>Let me start by saying that I'm a fan of Smuckers strawberry jam and have been for years/decades/my entire life, and have been getting my fix from either Costco or BJ's, but for the past few months, Costco hasn't carried it and now I no longer find it in BJ's.  Anyone out there know the story or have you found it in one of your local big box stores recently.  THanks</content>

      <content>It's been my experience (at BJ's specifically) that their stuff just changes.  We use to buy big jugs of Orange Dial anti-bacterial soap there and they stopped carrying it.  Ditto for other things like our favorite laundry detergent.

      <content>Smuckers is alive and well and are currently constructing a new production facility so It's likely a local situation. You might want to sent them a Email to alert them to the situation because I know that they take these situations very seriously.  

 You can order it online and they will ship it to you, but it's not cheap. </content>

      <content>THanks for the responses.  Hopefully it is a "local" situation, and while I know these stores change what they carry, I was surprised that it disappeared from both shelves.  Thanks again for the responses and I will check with Smuckers directly.</content>

      <content>Not to be obvious, but did you ask the store manager? That would have been my first step. First, it would get me a fast answer. Second, it would let the manager know that I noticed and it makes a difference to me.</content>
