WTF.
What are those pesky items you can never seem to locate in the grocery store? What drives you crazy when food shopping? How do you deal with this?
If you’re like me, you stubbornly refuse to ask for assistance and wander around the store for 20 minutes.
1) Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs! With the bread, no? No.*
*Confession: I saw this phrase online somewhere and can’t find it to credit them.
According to the internet, breadcrumbs can be found:
- With the bread
- With baked goods
- With spices
I found them in my local grocery store:
- With Stovetop boxed stuffing
2) Toothpicks
The internet says:
- Housewares
- Paper plates and silverware
- Cocktail mixes
I found them with:
- Paper plates and silverware
- Baked goods
3) Coconut milk
The internet says:
- Baked goods
- Ethnic foods
I found it with:
- Rice and soy sauce
- Organic in the Asian section
4) Sun dried tomatoes
The internet says:
- Pickles and olives
I found them:
- With produce
5) Pimentos
The internet says:
- Pickles and olives
- Canned vegetables
I found them:
- With pickles and olives
- With Hispanic foods
6) Hummus
The internet says:
- Kosher foods
I found it:
- With spreadable cheese
Look for more hard-to-find grocery store items in the future.

When I occasionally find a great recipe I want to make sometimes there is one ingredient that I can’t find at the grocery store. I always tell myself they don’t have it, not that I can’t find it. One was almond paste. Another philo dough. Which I know is in the freezer section.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
I have been looking for marshmallow cookies topped with coconut …simple cookie. However I cannot find them. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mary
