What I couldn't get this week shopping

I simply can't get bottled carbonated water. Water isn't scarce here, so there must be a shortage of CO2. I've never been able to get brown lentils in any of the main supermarkets, but there's a big Asian supermarket where I can get large bags of them. It's also one of the few places that I can get mutton.

Still no Lysol products of any kind at any store in my area, geez.....Is there a good substitute brand for Lysol out there?

In a spray bottle Mix 80% alcohol halfway full, then fill it the rest of the way with water. This was on our local news several months ago when we couldn't find any here. A Dr. was on telling about making this.

Forgot to mention the best time to go to a store is on a Thursday. They usually have it well-stocked for the Friday & Saturday shoppers. Never go on Sunday through Wednesday selves will be almost empty. I've learned this from shopping on different days.
 
I had been going to Aldi’s for most of my shopping other than meats. There are closer grocery stores to me but Aldi’s prices are much better. But, the last few times they have been out of so many items I typically buy. They have not had half and half at all and only a few bottles of OJ and sometimes none. I decided to not waste gas driving there until this supply chain thing gets resolved and have resorted to placing a pickup order at the WalMart Neighborhood Market. They have been able to fill my orders without substitutions so far.
 
A month ago I ordered a $50 book for my son from Ama*on and this morning I get an email from them saying the seller hadn't shipped the order so it's been cancelled.

Then: "In most cases, you pay for items when we ship them to you, so you won't be charged for items that are canceled."

I already paid when I ordered with pay-pal so I guess I'll never see that 50 again.

It might be return to your Amazon account as a credit, that’s happened to me when I have used my credit card. But I’ve never used pay pal
 
Oh boy oh boy! Sounds like some of you either live in some remote "banana republic" or most of you do a lot of shopping. I never seem to have this problem. Bought a coffee maker from Canadian Tire yesterday. They must have had over 50 of them in a pile. Bought a table lamp but had to go to 3 stores because I refuse to pay over $100 for a little table lamp. Bought a nice shower head to replace the crappy one that had in this apartment when I moved in. Now, I can choose from 5 different sprays. Life is getting better everyday. For groceries, all the stores are loaded. Perhaps my needs are pretty simple but I always believed in the KISS principle: "Keep it simple, Stupid".
 
tried to buy eggs today... the store had them ...loads of them in packs of 15... .. and every pack had a use by date of the 21st of this month.. 4 days hence... Not many people going to be using 15 eggs in 4 days...unless they're baking up a storm

If the expiry date is in 4 days, those eggs should be on sale with a real deep discount. When I was a little kid, I knew someone I used to play with and boy, let me tell you he was famous. Why? He was famous near and far for being able to eat 12 eggs for breakfast. I don't think that many people can do this and live to tell about it. LOL
