So often they go end of sale. Once gone and restocked I will hoard it.
There’s only one grocery store in my city that bakes a specific type of bread from my home country. I make sure to buy 2 packs almost every week so they notice that they are being bought and don’t stop making them.
It became almost a running gag in my life that if I like an item (sweets, yoghurt, toothpaste, ice cream, etc.) it will rather sooner than later be never restocked.
It happened now about 5-6 times while a significant other amount of similar items remain to be stocked. And those arent even limited in any capacity ;-;
My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said “we don’t carry that, do you live nearby?” We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us
