Do you ever notice that Costco will get you hooked on something that you can only find at Costco, and then Poof, they take it away?
The used to have Princess dish gloves in packs of 10 and I haven't found the brand anywhere else. They didn't break down like the ones you get in the stores.
Other things include:
A particular salami that came out for Christmas for about 4 years and then they switched brands
Polish Sausages that DH loved
cured hams
shaved Parmesan
Kraft partly skim Mozzarella
and so on.

I shop at Costco... I can see if they have some of the non-perishable items you mentioned the next time I go. Like the gloves and salami. If I find them... I will send them to ya!

Just because your not paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you...........

At the risk of derailing the thread, how can you not like Spam EPG?? Even the Spam "jelly" packed on top of the filet is delicioius??
I'll write your comment off as jet-lag-I know your getting re-acclimated to the USA (Welcome Home BTW) Hit me up for some spam recipes-Before you know it you'll be throwing out all of your NY Strips and Rib-eyes!!
And don't even get me started on Underwood deviled ham........

Debs, try running a can of Spam (I rinse the jelly off) through a meat grinder with a few sweet pickles (you can use a food processor as well, or you can chop it fine with a knife). Then add just enough Miracle Whip or mayonnaise to bind it. I don't normally like Spam, but this is our favorite lunch meat spread (on soft cheap white bread). Give it a try! You might be surprised!

you guys are sweet......no can do on the Spam.........I guess it has to do with a childhood memory when we are in this awful rental house and my mother is going nutso..... there's another more descriptive word that begins with ape""""...the culminating moment is when she discovers spiderwebs behind the door with .......no kiding.......pillbugs in them.........she was from Philly and she just about lost it at that point..........I remember my Dad frying Spam slices that first and last night in the rental home and I just could not eat it with all that pandemonium going on..........even to this day-----50 years later the smell is still keen and the stomach still churns.........

sorry, if I've hijacked this thread......didn't mean to...........whatever happened to Fizzies???? you dropped them in your drinks and they were fun to watch........I heard that some girl dropped some in her mouth and died........think it really was a story invented by our parents to scare us..........I guess I could google this to death but I like hearing from DC'er's mouths anyway.......

Candy Dots, Fresca soda, & the pimiento-cheese spread in a jar are all still alive & kicking - at least here in Virginia. In fact, here we have several brands of ready-made pimiento cheese to choose from, it being a Southern thing & all. . . .
Love Spam products & often buy the new Turkey Spam for my non-meating-hubby. Makes for a terrific Egg, Spam, & Cheese breakfast sandwich.

I actually saw the candy dots this week at a local grocery store! I was surprised to see it in an ordinary grocer.

Marin French Cheese Co.’s Rouge et Noir Schloss compares quite favorably to the long gone Liederkrantz.

I have seen it at certain grocery or drug stores but I can't remember how recently. I used to love that stuff myself. You would have to smack it against the counter or something and then take a piece and suck on it until it was soft enough to slowly chew!

Cornhusker Hand Wash. I can't tell you what that clear slime looked like. But it wasn't pretty.
I think I was 10/11 when I first saw it.
Those SuperBalls kids had in every color, including rainbow, and every size.

"Corn Huskers Lotion" is definitely still around. Some drugstores & farm supply stores carry it.

Does anyone remember those little made in Japan windchimes made out of little panes of glass (maybe 1" x 3"s) with japanese
characters (letters) painted on the glass. The glass panes hung from red string. They were very inexpensive for kids to buy their
moms, and found in every five and dime. (and NY' Chinatown.
I know, I know - they weremade in Japan, but they hung everywhere in Chinatown).
I think they had the sweetest tinkling sound.
