This is sorta on-topic. I'd planned on trying a lemon version of the "pie
filling cake" for Easter. I bought a white cake mix, Crisco for the
frosting (excellent recipe below), and coconut to sprinkle on top.

All that was left was the can of Wilderness lemon pie filling. There is
none to be had in this entire booming metropolis. I can only conclude that
the people in this community all make lemon pies for Easter.

Do any of the rest of you have similar problems with certain products being
impossible to find during holidays?
