Stores seem to have limited availability of major appliances. When we were looking for a dishwasher, a lot of models/brands were coming up as "unavailable." So now we can see what happens when so many of the products we buy are dependent on foreign imports.

The electrician who came this morning to put in a new outlet told my husband that circuit breakers are scarce. Once the few they do have in the warehouse are gone no more coming in and no time line when. He said the company asked for voluntary lay offs but hasn't let anyone go yet. He has decided to go with severance offered and go to his dad's to help him keep his farm running. He said his plan B just became his plan A.

I have been out of the loop for a week. I was in the hospital. I know the last time I ordered groceries I got everything on my list. There we a couple empty places in the grocery store a couple weeks ago but since what ever was not on my list I didn'ttake notice to see what was missing.

Why green chilies? all the other Mexican items seem to be in stock. last time I was there they had maybe five cans left but they were the expensive ($1.79 for a four oz. can) The other brands are .69 cents.

A week ago I called repair department to inquire on status of order and they called back saying that it is now pushed out to January. They are trying to find me the part but so far no luck. I have debated about getting a toaster oven but have decided it wasn't worth the cost so hubby gets no cookies, pies or anything else that needs baking. I thought about buying a new stove but since my other appliances are white I can't get that either.

I use my counter top oven more then the big one. There is difference in the countertop oven and the toaster oven The countertop will be like a real oven only much smaller. If you have the counter space it's worth it. Preheating is fast. I bake pies, cakes, casseroles, bread, most any thing really.

I use my toaster oven/air fryer more than I do my big oven, especially in the summer. I have the farberware from Walmart and it's well worth the price.
ETA: it's a toaster oven air fryer combo. I call it a toaster oven but I guess it's a countertop oven.

I got my windshield wipers from Safelite Auto Glass, when I had a rock peck repaired in my windshield. They told me it was time for new wipers, and they had plenty.
That's good you got a new pair.
Remember a supply will run out and have to be reordered . That's the problem
