Tuesday Treasure Hunt! The C Word

Since March of 2020 I've been on the hunt for one item that seems to have eluded me no matter what store I went to.  Every time I stopped at Costco I'd start looking in people's carts the minute I was in the store to see if they had any of this treasure. Not one single person had this illusive treasure.  I would then continue my search around the store to see if maybe the store workers had placed them in a 'special treasure' hiding place.

 

 

Nope. Nothing. By that point I had already gotten at least 2000 steps in which wasn't my goal.  I needed my special treasure to bring with me while working!

 

 

Yea I know what you were thinking - nope.  Wrong item!

 

 

 

Today after a zoom meeting Gary and I were both on, he took off to pick up a new router that went on sale at Costco and of course the illusive treasure.

 

 

While I'm on the ActiveRain Zoom call I kept hearing my text thing go off.  Must be important.  I finally took a look and it was Gary texting me.  Guess what he found after 8 months of treasure hunting?

Hi Anna,  I knew right away what you were talking about because my wife was complaining about the same thing.  Using an off brand just doesn't cut it.  My wife and daughter did find it once - but it was a small single package with a limit of 1.  When they went back the next day - they were gone and we haven't seen them since.  Congratulations on your find - a truly rare treasure.

Mike McCann - Nebraska Farm Land Broker we haven't been able to find anything, not even off brands.  Hoarders on the loose again.

LOL that's too funny Bob Crane ! There aren't even any off brands to be found - none!  Truly a rare treasure as we keep them in our cars for showings.  I'm stocked up for awhile now.  Or I could auction them off to the highest bidder LOL.

Hello Anna - Eureka!  "Pleasures" that were once simple have become treasure hunts at times.

I have not found Clorox wipes since this entire mess started.  Folks in our area are hoarding them.  Whatever.  They want me to spread germs, that's on them.

Hi Anna- I've found Clorox wipes and it's been hit and miss and some of them in smaller sizes. I felt the same way when I finally found alcohol (not the drinking kind) and lysol spray.

It seems so sporatic that necessities like toilet paper, Clorox wipes, etc., are in abundance.  For the most part they still exist, but not in large quantities.  The one thing that I've found less of is Wet Ones hand sanitizing wipes.

I did not know where you were going with this, Anna... but I have a plentiful supply of Clorox Wipes in my garage. And I've seen them on store shelves more often in recent times. As for paper towels... a whole other story. Waiting for my Amazon Prime delivery.

Anna,

No shortages here, and I see them everywhere, perhaps because Clorox has a California plant...Glad you found them.  A

What a find!  Good job Gary!

It's strange to me that so many people continue to hoard so many items. That find should last a while.

Anna congratulations on finally finding your treasure.  My wife found a website that has had them available this whole time.  They come in large containers, in packages of 6.  They cost about $80 per package, but they last a long time.  We just ordered another package about two weeks ago.
