>>>But I think I will check at the Ace hardware and about and see if I can find some to purchase. <<<
For what it is worth - You can check Ace hardware online and order it - delivered to the store free...
If I order online by Monday 2 PM It will be in the store Wednesday in their regular shipment. Your store may have different delivery day and cut-off time.

LOL. I am so used to going to the store for things, looking online is not something I think of readily. And for some things, I am one that still needs to see what I am purchasing before I get it. I’m slowly getting there, just need reminding by my kids and others to check online.

Got my wicks and lamp oil a couple weeks ago at Ace. We had a power outage as a result of an ice storm in December. We were only out a few hours but some neighbors were out several days. A good wake-up call as we realized that we had loads of lamps but most of them needed wicks and the lamps burn better with lamp oil than kerosene. When we went to get more wicks and lamp oil, they were completely sold out of everything-lamps, oil, wicks, flashlights and batteries. Didn't think of checking on line. Several months ago, Ace promised to order some “strike anywhere” wooden matches for me. Hate those strike on box ones. Every time I check they tell me they forgot. If I order them on line to be delivered to the store, I won't need to keep reminding them. Don't imagine that is a hot item with them.
