Just a rant. Wanted to buy shoes today. Here we go, I found nothing. Went to three different grocery stores because not one store had what I needed. If I see one more paper thin "sweater" or fake leather shoes for $$$$, I may run screaming through the store.

Went to Panera Bread, was sooo looking forward to the fancy hot chocolate with homemade chocolate chip marshmallows in the big mug that is shown on the website. Not good, tasted just ok and no ceramic mug - served in a to go cup, we were eating in. Went out last night to Texas Road House; we always loved their country fried steak - recipe change - it was quite nasty!!

Okay, thanks for reading this . I just felt/feel so very frustrated today with my shopping experiences. Shopping used to be fun - but now more often than not it isn't.

Totally relate. I had to go to three different stores to find sun-dried tomatoes.
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES.
I think it's the economy. They don't want to stock stuff that doesn't sell, and they change recipes so they can make the food cheaper.

I try to buy local but how much gas can you burn going from store to store? And most online pages either don't have In Stock info for a store or are inaccurate i.e. Walmart showed item In Stock - I drove there and garden dept said "Closed for season'.

Now I buy a lot from Amazon Prime etc.

You buy your shoes at the grocery store?!?!?!? ... I think I might have found your problem...
