Because it might sting?

That made me laugh.

When will I be able to have Costco paper towels delivered?

Why can't I find Shout stain remover in the sores?

Buy it in bulk online. This is what I do

1. Coffee filters
2. Powdered sugar
3. Hollandaise sauce mix
4. Frozen apple turn overs

Did not expect the intersection of people who use mix and people who enjoy hollandaise sauce to be the same, but here we are.

Hollandaise is not as fancy as you think it is.

Have you tried Roots Market or MOM's? I've seen it in both places but it's been a long time so you may want to call first and ask.

You can get organic rye and pumpernickel at King Arthur Flour. - they’re out of the non-organic.

Also weird things like butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips still hard to find—I think they converted all the lines just to make the most popular product since they have so many people calling out sick at the manufacturing plants.

I went to 4 stores to find molasses, none had meringue powder so I made royal icing without it this year.

In my area, I noticed that the regular grocery store is carrying fewer luxury brands or pricey items (I had to order almond paste online)

Which area?

NP here. Harris Teeter in Only is limiting tuna.

Both my Safeway and my Giant were out of horseradish. I had to find some at Brookville Market.

Also, not food but I can’t find Clorox Cleanup anywhere except Costco anymore.

What do you use that for?

DP - royal icing requires either meringue powder or egg white, preferably pasteurized. I can’t be bothered to pasteurize eggs and can’t ever find the pasteurized kind at the store so I use meringue powder.

All eggs are pasteurized. https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Are-all-egg-products-pasteurized

Egg products are things like liquid egg whites. Whole eggs typically are not pasteurized.
