Security alert
 

I went through the line today at Publix with only a few items in the cart as I tell my wife I can find many things she asks me to purchase at this store. The cash register person took one look at my cart and I thought he was going to call security. I wasn’t trying to pilfer anything as all of my few items were in plain sight. It seems that I am only allowed to purchase one box of Puffs Plus Lotion at a time. I had three individual boxes in my cart. I will never forget to place only one in the next time I shop there. My wife later told me that I should have purchased the three pack.

Can anyone alert others and me to additional things that still haven’t returned to normal that might trip us up the next time we shop? :icon_wink:

Limit on milk at Aldi's apparently they only have a few cows that can be milked

The Clean Shower or Scrubbing Bubbles shower spray (not the cleaner) has not been available anywhere for months. You can buy it on Amazon, but at a very high price.

It's good to see they finally brought the Puffs Plus pilferer to justice.

I for one, will sleep better tonight.

Rumor has it that the toilet paper scoundrels are starting to run low on TP and plan to rent a 45 foot trailer and load it up from local store inventories.

I will donate the awful Scotts toilet paper DH bought the other day at Sam's Club when he couldn't find Members Mark.

Maybe Stu's village will have a cow or two to supply milk.

Several months ago when it looked like TP would once again be in short supply purchased a case of it just in case.

The only brand they had was Scott and my dear wife refuses to use it. So now I will use it up and figure will take me a couple of years to do so.

We call it the Village of Stu and we are meat people so our cows are for a different purpose.

Stu, I’m shopping at your village Publix. I prefer fresh warm milk straight from a healthy cow, like we used to have in my native country. My parents were hiding out from the Communists before the Berlin Wall, and in the pastoral areas the organic free range chickens (there were no other kind) also tasted delicious.

6 Gallons...

What are you cooking?

In Kauai Hawaii the island is overwhelmed with free range chickens. No idea what they fed on but probably would not considered as organic.

As a public service announcement will give you all a recipe that was given to us their and was told that it was foolproof.

Fill a large stewing pot with water and put in 6 large lava stones. Prepare a kauai chicken for cooking and throw him in the pot.

Boil for three hours.

Take the chicken out of the pot and toss him and eat the lava stones.

The stones will be slightly more tender than the chicken.

Is it the Scott’s 1000, that is what we use so if you are looking to get rid of it, lol.

Usually there is a sign if there is a limit. We are just starting to see Lysol spray back in the stores in MA.

When we were in Hawaii we were told a lot of the chickens get eaten by the homeless people. They feed on what all wild birds feed on insects/worms/scraps basically anything they can find.

Yes, I had been looking for it! I finally gave up and found a way to make my own on line...was pretty simple and works well...

Scott 1000 single ply is the best toilet paper.

Scott's TP
 

AGREE!!, My son is coming to visit this weekend, I will be sending all Scott's Toilet Paper purchased at Sam's, home with him. That is the brand they use. Minus the two rolls we tried in our bathroom. We were desperate!!!

A bit over-reaction , there are signs on the tissues stating 2 per customer, I did as you the cashier noted only two , not quite worth commenting on in this forum.

Make your own
 

I got frustrated with never being able to find Clean Shower so I researched how to make it and it works better than the real thing . 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide , 1 tablespoon Jet dry dishwasher additive , 1 teaspoon dish soap such as Dawn. Add all to a 32 ounce spray bottle and fill the rest with water and shake it up. It is an after shower spray it and leave it deal. It basically dries the water in the shower. Doesn’t hurt to have the bath fan on to help with evaporation especially if the a/c is not running

You can make your own Clean Shower by mixing rubbing alcohol and water.

Sign of the times..more to follow..shortages in all areas.. hold on..

Totally off OP topic, but I experienced those wild chickens in Kauai and the worst of it was the roosters crowing all day long. Made me want to boil some. ;)

Most items like this are clearly marked “Limit one per customer”. Maybe the sign fell off or someone removed it.

That’s a bunch of crap, just sayin ~

Me too, and I'll trade some of that too-thick quilted stuff that needs a new roll every second day!

I have a recollection, which Google could not confirm, that Scotts ran a TV ad perhaps in the 60s or 70s where a woman with a slight accent said

1000 sheets, that's a lotta sheets

I couldn't believe they got away with that back then. The purpose of advertising is to make you remember the product, so it worked

Handover all your Puffs Plus Lotion.

OMG me too!!
 

OMG I bought that same Scott's cr@p. Never gonna hear the end of that, but in my defense, # of plys WERE NOT properly displayed on the packaging.......oh feel so much better now

Got Hit This Morning
 

I thought there was a problem when I got hit by a piece of sky this morning. Just a glancing blow though.

That all you had?

That all you had?are you saying, that covid related? Doesn't seem like that would make the list.

Looking for a 4seat cart rental for march 26th through April 5th

heh heh

Bah....humbug
It was funny

AHA! So spouse isn't just looking in wrong area when saying, "They must be out of that again!" I must apologize now!!

This is how they do it in Luperon, D.R. Came out tasting just fine.

Get everybody worked

How People Get Spoiled
 

When I lived on the farm we got up early to milk the cows and drank the milk from the cow. When we had breakfast we went to the barn to the "fat back" barrel took some out and took it to our Grandmother and Mother in the kitchen, thus the bacon. We also gathered the eggs while at the barn. Had to go to the bathroom we used the "out house" and it was not soft toilet paper but rather the latest news paper, etc. Could not have allergies as we had to mow and stack the hay for the barn and the cattle. Got our fruit from the many orchards we had on the property. Look forward to picking cherries and apples and the terrific peaches we use to get in those days. We learned to appreciate what we had and not complain because there was work to be done. Now I hear the toilet paper is too rough I can't get the paper towels I want, the fruit is not good ( or course it is from South America, etc.) or how about the beef which is filled with antibiotics, is a little tough, the eggs are from open range's and I want the ones raised
in a coop,etc etc. How is that old farm way on your health? Well Grandfather lived to be 102, Grandmother in her 90's, A brother in his 90's still works and sister just about 90. Guess that speaks for itself. :popcorn:

Ditto for my parents.
Both still alive and with-it at 96.
Great-grandma 107, other grands in their late 80's or 90's.


On the farm, did you have "chicken day", killing, cleaning, packing for the next few months??? The good old days.

Can I send my dear wife to the farm for the summer so she can experience the good old days?

Thanks! :)

While I never believed that the stay puft man in ghostbusters was real, I would have never believed long ago that I would only be able to purchase one or two boxes of Puffs at a time.
As I often have a hard time just finding the correct item to purchase, I am not too surprised that I may have missed signage that states a limit on the number of purchases allowed.
When I was selling things, I was always wishing that I would sell out of things. The times they are a-changin’ as someone a long time ago said. :icon_wink:
