they sell a generic brand in some stores. Aldis has one

I'm still in mourning over the discontinuation of Knorr's Lemon Dill Sauce. Good to know I'm not alone with these thoughts.

Can't find Mr Clean anywhere.

The latest here is Ragu stopped selling their pasta sauce products in Canada.

MIA: Clorox bathroom cleaner (mainly for soap scum)

Lysol All Purpose Cleaner - you mix with water in a bucket

Fantastic

Lysol in spray can

Isopropyl Alcohol

mostly everything else that was difficult to get is back but some low-stock. BJ's and Costco - stocked with paper towels, napkins and TP.

Folks looking for that Knorr lemon dill... try looking for FEINSCHMECKER dill, and there's a butter lemon one too- the Fix Seelachs might work too... Knorr is a German company, and while the U.S. version of the sauce might be discontinued, German versions still seems to exist.

Their salat kronung line is also excellent, has Italian and a LOT of other salad dressing flavors too.

Knorr is owned by Unilever, an Anglo/Dutch company that acquired it some years back when it bought its parent Best Foods. Yes, the American mayo company. Best Foods and its own American predecessor owned Knorr for a long time.

I haven't been able to find saline nasal spray or almost anything except the chewable version of low dose aspirin. Vinegar had been absent for weeks after the initial shut down-shopping wave, it finally came back on the shelves but is spotty, bleach had been available but now I notice it's hit or miss, haven't seen any disinfectant wipes since Feb.

I had to make a Walmart run today. I've seen bleach every time I've walked through the cleaning aisles. No cleaning wipes or Lysol.

What I noticed is harder to find is shoestrings. I've been using them in my masks. Walmart was out of the black ones I use. I found brown which may not match and some white with green and red specks para-cord. I bought some boot strings. They are waxed and not as soft as what I had been getting. I'm going to wash one and see if it gets softer.

Yep, Unilever is the parent company for Knorr- Unilever owns many companies in many countries, like Knorr in Germany.

Sometimes the U.S. version of something gets discontinued, but can still be found in the original country, like when Knorr discontinued the lemon dill sauce here, but still seems to carry it in its home country version.

Lars - we might have ordered the same portable pizza oven. I pre-ordered the Ooni Koda propane version earlier this week and the ship date says early November. I bought it as a 40th anniversary gift for a couple whose anniversary is November 1. I hope it ships a little earlier so it arrives before that. If not I will just give them the pizza peel I also ordered and a picture of the pizza oven.

Some of these shortages must be regional, or off-and-on things. Sprt, I find the same things hard to find here.

I did find a can of Lysol disinfectant about a month ago. Should have bought 2, haven’t seen it since.

I have bought Clorox bathroom cleaner a couple of times

Dawn dishwashing liquid is almost always out, especially in the large bottles

Cottonelle wipes (I finally found some smaller packs a few days ago. Amazon has them way overpriced)

I shop almost always at Publix, but find I have to go to Target or WalMart, or preferably put in a curbside pick up or online order at those places, for some things.

Dawn dishwashing liquid is almost always out, especially in the large bottles

I bought one of the large refill bottles back in February just because I needed it at that time. I hadn't even looked for it since to notice if it is in short supply here.

I was able to get the Italian season packets from WM online (not locally.) I had a couple other things I could order so it was free shipping!

Hurray!

The WalMart website says the Diet Dr. Pepper w/o caffeine is out of stock.

I scored some Lysol cleaning wipes at Dollar Tree today.

I bought The Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix on Amazon on the 27th and it is already up $5 from what I paid.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E1FZBY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

maybe I should sell 3 boxes on the black market. LOL!!!!

You really got me very nervous about the Good Seasons. We usually buy the 10 pack (at BJ's) and I just used the last packet. Today I was at Wegman's and they had the 4 pack for $4.49.

So now of course I am going to head to BJ's one of these days but I feel a bit more at ease knowing it's available. (might even be available at more of our supermarkets in the area)... I use other dressings to change it up but we really love Good Seasons.

I am not able to find Triscuit, rye and caraway flavor crackers. The Nabisco site has many strange combinations of flavors. But not the one I have bought for years. Seems I always like things that are not popular with the masses

Ok, so now I'm sort of wondering... why GS Italian mix? Is it the particular flavor profile, or ease of use or what?

I don't really use commercial mixes like that much- I tend to blend my own more often than not. Maybe it's possible between us all around here we could come up with a copycat recipe?

And also thinking about Knorr and such too.. Knorr does make a darn good Italian dressing mix. I've tried it, though I don't use it much. Their french dressing packets though- great in stewing meats :)

For shoe strings dollar tree has a few different types and sizes.

Finally got clorox wipes

Here in the Pacific Northwest, I can't find Nabisco Grahams either. I figure that with all the cancelled vacations, everyone is home making s'mores. I've been wanting to try making homemade grahams for years so it may be time to get around to it.

It took me months to get Lysol wipes but I got a canister in my Kroger order today. I also was finally able to order hand soap refill from Target. Couldn't get Method but I got Mrs. Meyer's.

I'm thinking ahead to what may disappear in the fall when the virus gets worse with schools opening, and I'm buying now what I'll need later. People will be doing more baking so flour, sugar, etc. may be hard to find. Potatoes may disappear again as people eat heartier meals. Cartons of chicken and beef stock too as we get into soup weather.

beesneeds I will confess I don't use the GS Dressing Mix for making salad dressing. It is a staple I use for part of the seasoning for "Pantry Chili", quick taco meat, chicken salad and a few other quick items.

You say you confess like using the stuff is supposed to be a sin or something- don't do that :) I really am wondering why GS Italian in particular over other stuff or not.

I do also see Hidden Valley packets on the shelves around here, and Wishbone is a packet of yesteryear.

The ONLY dressing packet/mixes available on the shelves in WM in my area is Hidden Valley Ranch. No other brands or varieties. Big empty spaces for them...

If you got a GFS near you.. they might have the GS mix folks are looking for. The one by me was well stocked with it, so it might be worth checking out for folks.

You can order Nabisco Honey Graham Crackers from Sam's Club.

Sue

Yeah I ordered the graham crackers once...not from Sam's club...but let's just say the suffered in the delivery process.

They do have copy cat GS recipes: https://cincyshopper.com/copycat-good-seasons-italian-mix-recipe-2/

I make a copy cat shake n bake all the time and it's quite good.

(what is GFS?) .

We went to BJ's on Saturday and they were well stocked with the Good Seasons dressing so we bought 2 boxes!

I am going to confess that while I am not going full on hoarding mode, I am buying a little extra extra again each time I go shopping.

Crystal Light, any flavor. Amazon has it for an outrageous price. I drink low calorie iced tea or lemonade rarely, but like the raspberry and iced tea flavors.

GFS= Gordon Food Service

So, what happened to Amazon's promise not to allow price-gouging?? Shame on them. I've checked various products that are in demand and the pricing is outrageous.

I agree sjerin. This morning I decided that I should purchase more catfood. I looked at Amazon and the Friskies pate that I normally purchase was $32. I decided to see the price at wally world and it was $13.

I got my order a few weeks back of Graham Crackers and they arrived just fine.

Sue

I was in Costco last week and bought some Hidden Valley Ranch dressing seasoning, to try out. I think this post made me think it may be a good idea. I'm going to try it on chicken one of these days.

They had Dawn dish washing liquid so I bought one, also bought a pack of toilet paper even though I have plenty. I couldn't find any alcohol wipes. The ones I bought back in March or whenever the last time I went are almost gone. I did pick up a little pack on the road back from Nebraska in a Casey's gas station. They are plain white wrapping and made in China. I'm a little bit skeptical about them working but wanted something to wipe down things in the hotel we stayed at so I got them. I also picked up a good sized thing of hand sanitizer to use on the trip as my little bottle was running low. I see hand sanitizer everywhere now.

Check your hand sanitizers for methanol (bad) as the list of culprits is up to over 100, I believe.

I decided to buy some sanitizer when I saw it available and 2 days later had an email that it was recalled for methanol. Various things are in/out of stock. I've learned that if I'm low on something and see it, get it. Especially the way things are going, there's likely to be a lockdown coming soon and the toilet paper hoarders will be at it again. Quit going to Walmutt, got tired of the numbers of empty shelves. Some empty shelves at other stores but nothing like that. I was able to get alcohol last week, albeit spendy. Bought sanitizing wipes a month or 6 weeks ago. Apparently I was at the right place at the right time but I noticed Dollar General of all places had them and also had Mean Green Anti-Bacterial that I haven't been able to find for a couple years now. I understood they discontinued it.

A friend told me they couldn't find Minute Rice anywhere. I was at BJ's over the weekend and they had the big 72 oz box so I bought one. DH likes rice. I let my friend know so she could get some too.

Other than that, haven't really seen much missing from the shelves that we eat/use.

This is the official FDA warning regarding hand sanitizers that contain methanol along with the list of all banned hand sanitizers to date. The list is long but worth reading because many of these banned sanitizers are still for sale on the open market.

https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-consumers-should-not-use#products

methanol is what used to be called wood alcohol. If ingested it can be fatal or cause various things like blindness. Back in the dark ages it was used for disinfecting but people kept trying to drink it.

I don't see a single recognizable brand name among what's listed in that FDA release.

I understand that shortages sometimes drive people buy to "whatever is available" but for any health related item, it's always better to avoid using unknown fringe brand products.

That Blumen was what I first saw at Walmart back when no sanitizer was anywhere. I almost got it and talked myself out of it since I have plenty plain alcohol on hand.

There will be no Clorox wipes for a few years, I read.

Way off topic, but I was able to get a container of Lysol wipes and a two-pack of Lysol toilet cleaner through Amazon Fresh yesterday. That's enough to last me for quite a while.

Clorox announced a shortage, not that there would be none, through sometime in 2021. I don't know about Lysol, different company. Clorox wipes have been available, but its hit or miss, sort of like toilet paper was in the beginning. You have to be there when the stores get them in.

I was at the grocery store this morning when the Lysol wipes were being put on the shelve. I don't normally buy things like that, but bought a pack for my child for his apartment. I haven't seen regular Clorox wipes or Lysol for quite some time.

My Walmart finally had oven cleaner...oven cleaner?! Usually there's at least a few items they don't have...but there's plenty of TP now.
