    The two types we had bought before were both OOS on Amazon. $20 seems high for this product, but I could be wrong.

    We ended up getting some from Michael's with curbside pick up.

    freezers are scarce

    those that really want it will get it.

    many of them even more now that this virus going on. coke delivery is taking off.. i know a guy that has coke packets delivered to his fence.

    my favorite is some dealers are using the virus as an excuse to not have shoot the sh*it as much. grab and go ya dig

    some are even doing "contactless" open trunk no talk / no contact ..package there for you leave that monay

    yeast

    Seriously - when COVID first hit, the toilet paper shelves were empty, but the TP came back. With yeast, store shelves have stayed completely empty for months.

    The Fleischmann's Active Yeast always seems to be out but I always find Red Star Active Yeast right next to it on the shelf seemingly always in stock. I didn't know people were so particular about their yeast brands. Isn't it all the same basically?

    I would say just try another grocery store. I've seen one store not have certain items and the one next door has those same items in stock. Very strange.

    This is the one I don't understand. Are people still making hand sanitizer out of this isopropyl alcohol? I see hand sanitizer available everywhere now.

    I like to use other soluble solutions to rub one out. Alcohol would seem to burn and dry out too fast.

    Yeah it does appear stores are overstocked with hand sanitizer.

    Put some warm water in your mouth, add a packet of yeast in your mouth, and gurgle it. When you start foaming at the mouth, give your lady friend oral. When she gets the highly coveted yeast infection, take the rubbing alcohol and pour it on it. Ahem.

    On second thought, that might not be the best idea. Make some bread and clean a wound?
