Default Food find and shortages

Whole Foods now has Just Mayo in stock for shipping. At least I hope they
do. It's the kind that must be refrigerated. They did have brown rice syrup
but when I tried to place the order, it said it was out of stock. The order
will arrive tomorrow, so I'll see what I will get.

What I couldn't find was normal Ricotta cheese. The only stuff I found was
at PCC and I physically had to go there. None was visible so I had to ask.
The guy dug way to the back of the case. There were a few containers of
organic stuff. Small, overpriced or really small and super overpriced. I
opted for two of the small, overpriced. I don't care for cottage cheese in
lasagna.

I am annoyed with Safeway. I had placed an order for delivery. They had the
Best Foods vegan mayo on sale. They have recently changed the recipe and
online reviews are horrible but I actually like it as it doesn't separate
out. The old recipe did. Anyway... I got no mayo, no ricotta, and no
tamales. They don't normally sell the Texas Tamales but they were listed for
sale and for about$4 less per pkg. than Central Market. I was able to get
the tamales and the overpriced Ricotta there. I totally forgot to look for
the mayo, hence the Whole Foods order, but if they did have it, it would
likely be very overpriced.

Maybe a lot of people here make lasagna for Christmas. I dunno. Safeway and
Albertsons almost always seem to be out of it no matter what time of year.
