I'm pretty sure that when you go to the grocery store in the US there are the same products every time you go.... and if the store is out of something it is a big deal and people are disgruntled. I think I can safely say, though, that usually you can expect that the product you buy there one day will be there the next time you go.
That is not the case, here. I am constantly on a scavenger hunt for plain yogurt, fresh orange juice, and some days... even bananas. When a little store runs out, that's it - no bananas until the next ones arrive. No big deal.
The yogurt, on the other hand, I don't understand. One store will have it one week and then I won't see it there for another month. There's not even a space for it... It is like it never existed. Another store will have one or two containers and then never have it again. Am I the only one in this town buying the yogurt and I keep using up the stock?
It definitely makes shopping more interesting... and more fulfilling when you find that one container of yogurt (possibly the only one for the month). Today was not a successful yogurt day... It made me want to come home.

I like your creative toaster..!
ReplyDelete:( about the yogurt.
Wish I could send you some.
Strange how there is such sporadic supply of things...
Would it help to ask them to get some in for you...?
Or they'd look at you like "are you crazy"...no special orders here.
