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?

    I feel like Wilko had the odd bit, but if I was like, I need a lightening to audio wire, or a USB to USBC adapter then I'd struggle. You have to order those. I guess I notice because I'm in a ridiculous job where sometimes you need those things immediately and it's a nightmare.

    There was a great story about why Jamie Hyneman had so much stuff in his workshop, and it sounds exactly as you describe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn6_TE9i5r8
