I don't know what is going on at my grocery stores around here except that
QFC has been in an ongoing remodel since the summer and Central Market also
swapped some things around. Then there is the Albertsons/Safeway/Haggen
mess. So basically I am having problems with all of the stores.

I will buy something once, then have a heck of a time finding it again. For
instance, the bread that we eat used to be sold only at Central Market.
Then Safeway had it. Central Market has now been out of it the last 3 times
I went there. There was still a shelf edge label but mostly they were just
sold out of bread. Then one Albertsons had it. Now they all seem to. And
now today I found it at QFC. They never had it before. But it was on sale
today.

Sliced apples are another problem. QFC did have some but not in individual
packages which is what my husband wants for his lunch. Yes, I know I could
put these in a sandwich bag. Not what he wants. He won't eat them if I do
that. Or I find them but they are only in the little bags. Will he eat two
little bags instead of one big one? No. Costco does sell the big bags but
the last many times I have checked, they expire either that day or a day or
two later and we can't eat them up that fast.

And now today it was the lemon lime PowerAde zero. Has to be that flavor
and no other. I bought some at Winco for the person to try. Did not want
to buy too much in case it wasn't liked. And of course now we have none and
none of the stores around here seem to carry that flavor. It's not
available online at Walmart either. *sigh*

I also could not find any tarts. Did they quit making tarts? Used to be
able to get them frozen. Not any more. At least I did find a 2 serving
apple pie at QFC. I am not buying a big pie for Thanksgiving only to have
to throw most of it if not all of it away.
