I don't know about vanilla, but Whole Foods has red pepper flakes, and at a surprisingly good price, too.

I still can’t find classic pizza sauce. I ordered from Target and it arrived broken both times. Ordered from Amazon and same thing happened. I normally shop at Giant and half the place is continuously bare.

We’ve hot hot dogs all summer! My kids have eaten the most hotdogs ever because we are actually grilling more! I have always bought my hot dogs at Harris Teeter.

Garlic and other produce are always at Whole Foods, too!

Creamed corn, which was so odd that it kind of made me laugh. Not something we eat often but I wanted some for a cornbread recipe.

Found some at target

Agree, there is plenty of pepperoni and garlic. I was at Safeway yesterday, and both were fully stocked.

Coke has slowed production and is limiting it's main production to Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite. Dr. Pepper and its varieties are limited too.

It’s incomprehensible that anyone still drinks Diet Coke now that Coke Zero exists.


No it's incomprehensible that someone uses nestle or other chocolate powder to get a toddler to drink milk.

I've been looking for LaChoy light soy sauce for months, and have been unable to find it at 5 different grocery stores. I broke down and bought another brand of light gluten-free soy sauce today.

No problem finding any food items lately but can not find the dish wand replacement sponges anywhere. Scotch Brite brand. Have looked at every grocery store I’ve been in for months (I go grocery shopping weekly and have been to every major grocery store in the area plus Target and Costco). Have looked online too...nothing.

Big containers in Costco.

Hmm. I’m a Costco regular and have never seen this item. I’ll look tomorrow. Thanks.
