Mainecoons 5,417 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hasn't been any for weeks. Now what? Also none of those great peanuts in the big can, no packaged bacon, no link sausages. What's up with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dichosalocura 641 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Is Super Lake having problems getting things down across the border? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yo1 988 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 SL gets few things directly across the border. Most of what they sell comes through the Abastos or Costco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibarra 325 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I have been looking at SL for the last 3 weeks for Kirkland tocino. No hay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of what they sell comes through the Abastos or Costco. They purchase products from several importadores, The products are supposed to be properly labeled in Spanish if the origin language is something different. Many sources in China and elsewhere around the world, already have the Spanish version in place, at the source. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of what they sell comes through the Abastos or Costco. When Pancho was running the place, the majority of their imports came across the border. Read the chapter in Judy King's book about it. And if you peruse the store today, you will see hundreds of imported items and regular items that do not come from either the abastos or Costco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RVGRINGO 2,108 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 The supply chain has some weak links, and even some missing links. It isn't just "the border". With CV-19, it may get worse before it gets better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Package of 4 (1 pound) for 388 pesos And already gone by today. There are several things that I didn't see that they normally carry...Philly cheese steaks (the cleaner LOVES them and we're not above bribery!), salmon in cut and seasoned squares, the bacon, etc, etc. Of course, they always have others that we load up on. I learned a while back that if you see a product there that you like, buy as much as you can because you never know when it will no longer be carried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyPanda 347 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Butter and bacon back on the shelves today. But who knows how long it will last. Are they the new toilet paper? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnivore 199 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm still trying to find something of importance in this entire thread. Even if a limited supply of Kirkland butter was back on the shelf on Sunday, who's actually going to jump on their tricycle, peddle like crazy and...most likely find the last package resting in the cart just ahead in the check-out line. And as for AndyPanda...if you do attempt to use it in the manner you've so thoughtfully suggested, I would recommend at least keeping it frozen as the alternative is difficult to imagine!

adolphsj 69 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Can you freeze toilet paper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyPanda 347 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yes, but by the time it thaws, it's going to be too late. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

canmex87 138 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 We purchased Kirkland butter at Gourmet Garage yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
More Liana 941 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I bought 3 kilos of Kirkland butter at Costco Morelia yesterday, after a long stretch of none being available. Thanksgiving at our house is a very butter-heavy day, so I was quite happy to find it available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 5,417 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yes, apparently they have it back in stock, a family member picked up 4 packages last week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
