jennlkWell, that was a mostly fruitless erranding run.
I'm rearranging the storage in the workroom, replacing cheap plastic drawers with storage shelves & boxes. I went to IKEA last week for the shelves, and swapped out one of the drawer stacks on Saturday. But that used up the last of the storage boxes that I had on hand. So I went out today, intending to get another half-dozen or so boxes. Costco, my usual source, didn't have any in the preferred size (yes, I know that a lot of stuff at Costco is transient, but not everything). Fine, I'll go to Meijer, as I'm nearly there anyway. They didn't have any boxes. Nor did they have any frozen chicken or canned corned beef, or frozen potatoes or the chimis that J eats for breakfast. So I got *four* of the items on my grocery list. Hardly worth going out, but I didn't know that when I left.... I stopped at Lowe's & HomeDepot as they're right there, and neither one had boxes. No, that's not quite correct. Lowe's did have boxes, but for twice the price as Menard's. I don't need them *that* badly. It can wait until after tomorrow's errands, when I go toward Menard's for birdseed & catfood anyway. (The Menard's site says they have a _pallet_ of the desired size, so I will trust that they will have six left when I get there tomorrow morning....)
