Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online? (lemm.ee)

Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I'd prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I'd have to order and wait a few days to get...So I'm wondering what some of those things may be for you?

I have not been able to find decent jersey knit bed sheets since my local Bed Bath and Beyond closed down (and it was one of the first locations to go).

I can get some at Walmart or Target, but they are not going to be soft and will not last long. I have tried to order online, but even purchasing from a big name brand, they ended up lower quality and higher price than Walmart.

I have had luck with Home Goods, but their selection is always a bit of a gamble.

If you're trying to replace your Pure Beech Jersey I can recommend Sheets and Giggles as a suitable replacement. They aren't jersey but they are just as soft. My husband loved Pure Beech and replacing them was a huge problem for us. Sheets and Giggles is around twice as expensive and made from bamboo modal instead of beech but they are the closest we've come so far.
