Beth and Diane I order most of my groceries from Amazon or the local supermarkets also. Delivery services here are somewhat more expensive than going into the market and shopping the sales, but since Amazon has a big warehouse across the river from us, items are usually shipped promptly.
The recent difficulties in finding specific grocery items remind me of my teen years during WWII, when my aunt had difficulties finding certain items and in balancing her grocery list with the coupons in our family ration books. Jack worked as a supermarket stock boy during summer vacations from high school and college during those years, and said many times that his manager would tell him to "open the case of Spam or what ever, then get out of the way as fast as you can" to avoid the oncoming rush of women shoppers.
