no longer offer many common in-store items that are commodities, forcing purchasers to go to Amazon or eBay to get them.

I have found this for many items I used to buy at a local store. I use an Oil of Olay face cream for sensitive skin (no perfume). All of a sudden, a few years ago, I could no longer find it at any store. So, I just bought the regular OofO face cream. My entire face swelled up.

Now, I get the sensitive type over the internet, same with toothpaste, and, recently, shoes.

I would shop at the local stores, if they still carried stuff I had been buying there for years. But, they don't.

At least you could find the product you wanted somewhere. Some of the things I like, particularly wearing apparel such as shoe styles, underwear and household items, are no longer available anywhere. I find this particularly true with household cleaning products. Because of the greenies, the FDA and the EPA, the new formulas they are coming out with simply do not work or clean as well as the old ones. Really aggravating.
