Default 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?

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.

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.

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.
