Did Search. Didn't find. Things missing in my stores (some can fold this in if they know the origina

[electric_blue68]

After about 2+ months while it's not a lot missing
I need these two things!

Drawstring tall kitchen, lawn size garbage bags.

Chilli Powder
(And it's not like there pure chilli bottle that I could mix with the ?garlic, oregano & what ever else bottles)

These are two that stick out, maybe a few minor things that aren't that important since I can't remember them.

1. Sam's Club should carry the drawstring, tall kitchen

bags. I usually by a box of 200 bags and they last forever. I have also bought lawn size garbage bags there as well.

[electric_blue68]

7. TY. Don't you have be a member of it? Or does that give u extra discounts, etc.

There is one near another special food store I go to (infrequently bc cvd).

[avebury]

19. You do need to have a membership. But do you know someone

who would take you in on their card?

[electric_blue68]

20. No, I don't. But ty for your suggestion. 👍

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Apparently you can shop online without a membership.

I went looking on their site to see if Sam's offered a "1-Day Shopping Pass" (as does BJs), and found this:

Do I have to be a Sam’s Club member to shop online? Do I need to be a member to use Sam’s Club gas stations and other services?

Our optical center, pharmacy, and cafe are all open to the public. Please visit any time.

You can also shop online without a membership card, but you may miss out on members- only pricing and pay a 10% service fee on some items.

Note that you need to be a member to shop and get members-only pricing in a club or use one of our fuel stations. Please join as a member to get access to all that Sam’s Club has to offer.

Worth a glance, perhaps.

2. I never buy chili powder but I get tall drawstring kitchen bags and lawn size garbage bags from

Lowe's.

[electric_blue68]

4. Ty if I get down to the area which has a lot of stores including a Loews

I go only once every two, three months bc of covid ..so I'll check them out. 👍

[LoisB]

11. I hope it's ok to say the brand I buy is called Moxie.

3. Penzeys. I think the stores are closed to shopping but have curbside pickup.

Or order through the website. You will never find a more progressive CEO than Bill Penzey. From the latest email ad:

So we are celebrating the anniversary of one year of kindness, decency, and goodness returning to the White House and to the nation and pushing aside the Joe-Mageddon Republican talking points where peace is bad, and record low unemployment and record high stock prices are the sign of the end of our economy, and instead simply bask in the Joe-Sanity. Life is so much better.

And they have good stuff!

[electric_blue68]

6. TY, yeah, I know about Pensys!..

Friend of mine uses them. 👍

I have trouble getting pakages though.
Maybe I'll send them to friend and then get them.

5. Where do you live because where I live I've seen both things doing my weekly shopping trip today

I did have trouble finding coffee creamer though. But at the 3rd store brought it.

[electric_blue68]

8. NYC/The Bronx

[kimbutgar]

9. I live on the opposite coast in San Francisco

[canetoad]

10. Do you have an Asian fool aisle

Or shop nearby? Gochujang korean hot chilli paste would substitute.

[electric_blue68]

14. Ty, I think...

the chili paste might be too hot, or might have an Asian
tinged flavor to it

Don't have any fancy, specialty food shops near me.
Which wouldn't be a problem except for cvd.

Well, when ai do make a specialty store run hopefully I'll find it.

It's just a way of making expanding my home food assembly, and cooking. Got Italian, some Chinese, I can get a curry blend, some Greek. 👍

12. try hot paprika

or if you can get them just buy dry chiles and process them yourself (you need cumin to mix along with garlic and a touch of oregano)

[electric_blue68]

13. Ty, but...

I don't have anything to process them with.

But at least you named the other ingredient for the mix - cumin!

[Kali]

15. do you have a blender?

clean stems and seeds out of a few and cover with water. bring to simmer for 5 minutes, cool and grind with some of liquid in blender.

[electric_blue68]

16. No

[Kali]

17. back to paprika, cumin, garlic

[electric_blue68]

18. 👍

[IcyPeas]

21. the Dollar Stores often have trash bags of all sizes (not the best quality of course)

[electric_blue68]

24. Ty. I have sort of have one and they're out of them

[SYFROYH]

23. Amazon provides.

When the local shelves are empty I use amazon.

[electric_blue68]

25. True TY but I have trouble getting packages

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Look For Powdered Cayenne

It's not a whole lot hotter than chili powder, because cayenne is typically a ground pepper in chili powder.
I found this:

The spice blend differs from one recipe to another, but it usually includes some mix of ground dried chiles, cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and onion powder.

I don't use chili powder because I prefer to use each individual spice to accentuate what best suits my & my wife's palettes. (I'd probably go heavier on the paprika & cumin, than most blends would have.)
The downside of course, is all separates takes up more shelf space in the cabinets, and the upfront cost is higher. (Although it will be a longer time before you have to replace.)
Not sure why the garbage bag thing is a problem where you are. Not sure isn't around here.

[electric_blue68]

27. Hey, thanks Professor. 👍

28. Saltines and wet cat food!

I’m not sure there’s a Saltine cracker in the greater Seattle area. And Bunny the Cat is starting to get a little pissed off at what’s showing up in her breakfast bowl lately.

Mostly things are fine, but those are weird.

[electric_blue68]

29. Aw, a hand on your shoulder, and a ear scritch for Bunny cat.

[nolabear]

30. *sniff* Thank you.

How WILL we bear it with only Ritz and dry food?
