    Amazon.com!
    They seem to be able to provide anything I want or need!

    I usually start with a tantrum . . .

    The hardest part? Getting an honest answer about the situation. I can’t get my Healthy Choice Fudge Bars, and the manufacturer and the retailers are pointing fingers at each other. Similarly, I can’t get Fiber One . . .

    I usually end up researching alternatives once I exhaust denial as a strategy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I shop multiple stores. So, I rarely have an issue. I usually have back-up items, just in case.

    Looking for the Fiber One Original cereal. (Those bars are just gas wrapped in foil for me.)

    Some holdover attitude from the supply issues of the past few years -- I just substitute or do without. Though I have been known to drive hundreds of miles to pick up some non-food items I really wanted, so I'd never say never to doing something similar for a food. (I've been thinking about lime pickle a lot recently . . .)
