Items you like and bought in the past, no longer available. What to do?
Recently I've had a spate of bad luck going back to buy things I really like and bought in the past that are no longer available.

It seems as though every time I buy something I really like, I go back at a date in the future and it's no longer available and I get stuck buying something inferior or I have to settle.

It's been happening with clothing.
I had bought 8 Ben Hogan golf shirts from Walmart that had fantastic unique colors, fit great and looked good on me. I used with my prior company's logo for work shirts. Now no longer working I went to buy new ones and they are no longer available. They are so comfortable and great for everyday and golf but who wants to wear another company's logo when you work for someone else?

I bought a great leather black business card/wallet that had so many compartments and durable and fit everything I needed. (I don't carry money in a wallet oddly) It was a Swiss Army/Victornix that I purchased years ago in Toronto at the Hudson Bay company. Something close but missing some of the functions and an extra compartment from the other.

Lastly I bought several pairs of IZOD Saltwater flat front shorts and I need new ones after losing so much weight non of them fit and of course, they are not available in the size and color I want in any store; Amazon, Kohl, Macy's JC Penney's or IZOD.

I bought Timberlands Kia Wah Bay Boat Show in a wide width and after 3 1/2 years the soles are worn and they no longer make them. One of my favorite shoes ever.

It's happened with grocery items and food at restaurants where some of my favorite dishes all were removed in a period of a few months. I know restaurants turn over their menu but it sucks when you go to a restaurant for a specific dish you love and when you see the menu after you sit down, it's gone!

Do I need to go back after purchase and buy extras of everything I like?

When I go to a restaurant or grocery store do I need to buy extras and freeze the food for the future?

So, how do you deal with this?
  • Is this as annoying for you as it is for me?
  • Do you every buy extra favorite items for the future?
  • Do you even give a shit or just think I'm being a giant whiny bitch?

Well, I bet it pisses more people off than it pleases. I know it does me.

I wait in order to look around too and this happens.

Started doing this now but it's front loads all your costs if you have to do it for more than one thing.

I wonder if it even exists. Seems like you can make this one at home for a DIY project.

Land's End had a really unique blouse that was perfect professionally. Saw it in the catalog they send me; headed over and it was no where. I asked if they could get it or if online. Nope! All sold out. Said items are online before catalog is even out. I just don't go online first. It's browsing through their catalog that piques my interest in an item. First time this happened.

I tried ebay and it wasn't there either.

I still want it.

That's what I found with Ebay.

Only thing I saw on Ebay that was decent was a bed comforter from Pottery Barn, at same sale price PB sells it for and which is still available on PB.

I love Pottery Barn for home goods.

Gonna use if for other spices in other recipes too. Things like allspice berries. Got the small batch one because I won't be doing big batches but per recipe for freshest ingredients.

Sounds great. When I was still making gigantic Thanksgiving/Xmas dinners I enjoyed making the glaze for the ham. It always started with brown sugar and stone ground mustard. I bet a spice grinder would have done wonders for it.

No problem. If you end up making jalapeno mustard let us know how it turns out. Sounds really good.

I'm pretty sure Doritos changed their taco-flavored chips recipe in the last 5-10 years, and it's a GD disgrace. I went to make taco salad (with Dorothy Lynch, because duh) and BAM - disgust.
