Happiness has arrived. Thank you Amazon

I can't get enough of this stuff when I have it, but the local grocer doesn't carry it. Went without long enough. Finally thought to look for it on Amazon. There really isn't anything anymore you can't get there. Win.

Pandora:
I dislike using Amazon, but I do, a lot, because local retail is no longer responsive to local customers.

I bulk shop, even at regular stores.  The manager told me at one local store that he can get only four gallons at a time of our choice of milk, even though I will buy four gallons at a time (and by the time I get to 'em, some are already gone).

Walmart guy told me they receive only six cans at a time of our choice of coffee; if there's two on the shelf, they get none until those two are gone.

This means I have to shop every couple of days and that's a major outlay of time and gasoline for me in order to stock up.

Some things such as coffee and milk can't be bought from Amazon, but other things -- I was looking for clip-on readers/magnifiers for Gunsmith and no store carried them -- can be.

Seems if you/I want anything that at least a hundred other people want, the stores won't carry it.  It didn't used to be like that, I think.

Libertas:
I shop online, direct with stores I like...I try to avoid SkyNet or any of his slimy siblings and offspring if I can...

As for sauce...I like the flavor if this stuff -



...and a couple stores around me carry it.  Yes, evil Mexican product...but I like the flavor!

But from time to time I will hit up relatives in Texas for some kick-ass sauce.   :D

IronDioPriest:
We used to make 2 or 3 trips a year to Sam's Club for "supplies" - those food and household items that aren't in the perishable category, that we know we'll use, that it makes sense to stock up on. We did that because they have good prices, wide variety, and "family size" packaging.

All that has been replaced by Amazon. Now, with a cheap Amazon Prime membership, the free shipping makes it a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned. Even for a few small items like three bottles of habanero sauce, I don't need to be concerned with making a list, making sure everything I need is on the list, needing enough items for it to make sense for me to make a trip to Sam's, etc. I can just order it, and as long as I don't need it until the day after tomorrow, I'm good.

But I digress... LOL... I really posted this because I wanted to share my undying, inexplicable love for el Yucateco habanero sauce. Especially the green. If you like some good heat with flavor to boot, this is my recommendation.

I like the way Libertas's looks too though... and I think I've seen it at the local grocer...
