Ok, so I could go into the weather and whatnot but everyone knows about that. One of my biggest frustrations with this area is that I can guarantee that if the rest of the country has something WE do NOT. I can't tell you the number of times I've looked for something specific and not been able to find it.
Case in point, these little skeleton coffin things from Dollar Tree to use for wax melts. I just spent a good 4 hours driving around to every one in the area and not a single one carries them. The only way to get them is to order them in. The colors will be random and you MUST order $30 plus delivery and taxes. Instead of just being able to pick them up in the store like everywhere else in the country. Why do I say this? Because someone in a group I'm part of said they are using them for selling wax melts and a bunch of people went out to get them. But only up north.
This isn't the first time this happens. It's all the time. I've had people suggest better places to get citric acid only none of the feed and seed type places or the wine type places carry it. If they do, it's a few ounces for an exorbitant amount of money (think $6 for 2 ounces).
It just gets incredibly frustrating sometimes. I can't just go pick most things up because we don't have places anywhere in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas that isn't at least 6 hours one way to buy them. Closest you might be able to get the whatever the thing is, is probably Dallas or Nashville.
But hey I can buy that little plastic coffin for $10 each on Amazon or $20 each on ebay.
