Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online? (lemm.ee)

Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I'd prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I'd have to order and wait a few days to get...So I'm wondering what some of those things may be for you?

So glad we still have a few of those kicking around in our city, but they just can’t compete unfortunately.

I try supporting local, but I’m not spending 25% more just to do that.

    I'd say 400% + is a more realistic cost of buying components local vs. online. Regardless, I miss having the local option even tho I can actually get most parts delivered faster than it used to take me to drive to Fry's & back.
