I can't get it on Amazon, Target.com, Walmart.com or Costco.com.
I had no idea that pasta was so popular or that it was a "Desert Island" food.
I had no idea about the pasta, either. I went to get one package of spaghetti at Whole Foods today and the entire section was wiped out. I did find a bag of pasta called conchiglie that should work. They did have plenty of pasta available in their prepared food section. Other than the pasta, they were stocked surprisingly well. [Reply]

Yes I know but tell that to my wife who grew up in the Philippines. [Reply]

That might be true where you live but the tap water in Los Angeles is disgusting to the taste and the heavy mineralized and treated water leaves stains everywhere, whether it's natural or ceramic tile, plastic, metal - you name it. It routinely damages faucets and valves as well.
I drink iced tea every day and have used a Lipton Ice Tea maker since 1989. The difference between using tap water and bottled water is astounding, not only to the taste but the clarity of the tea. It's night and day.
That said, we only drink from our GE refrigerator in which I change the water filter at least every 90 days but it's still not nearly as clear as bottled water. Most, if not all, of my neighbors have drinking water delivered. [Reply]
It took me an entire night just to find some at a gas station. And I was only looking because we were getting low and I have three kids.
In the last two days I’ve spent about $400 on groceries. No point in not stocking up on food that I know were going to need and might not be there the next time I have to shop. [Reply]
Was at the grocery store last night buying a few things, nothing crazy. The store has put a limit of 2 on items such as hand sanitizer, TP, paper towels etc.. So we get our stuff and go to check out.
Get in line behind 3 ladies. Each had a cart filled up with the limit of all the goods everyone is wanting. When it comes to check out all 3 of them pile their stuff on the conveyor belt together and one lady pays for all of it.
What' the poor high school aged checkout kid going to do? call them out on it? Nope, just checked them out and kept the line moving. [Reply]
