A frustration when you can't find what you're looking at one place / myLot

I was looking for a cinnamon powder for my future baking recipes, particularly for my pies. I was looking the whole shelves in the isle of the store intended for spices only. Unfortunately, there's is no stock for the cinnamon powder which prompted me to go to other shops. This is not a lucky day as the stores where I went by have no supply as well. What I've got instead was a wooden rolling pin which is not on the plan. I don't want to expose outside for a longer period of time noting how unsafe still the situation right now but our needs will let us to. I will try to look at online shops and I hope I can find.

I think that's difficult to find there. Why don't you try in Walmart.

We do not have Walmart here. I'm from the Philippines but we have supply for that. Maybe, it so happened that they're out of stock and not yet replenished.

Cinnamon is good when making pies. Have you looked for cinnamon in Gaisano? I have seen it there before.

For sure I will but I just don't like the idea of moving from one place to another considering the risk of our situation this time.

@piyushbhatia1 That's a huge tree I suppose. Is there a dwarf variety?

Yeah goods moving around is having a hard time nowadays becuase the pandemic has slowed down the movement of goods from one place to another. online shop is becoming popular because they tend to make things move faster than moving it from stores.

I tried looking at Lazada but not the brand I looked for. I think it's good enough.

That's a bit alarming. I'm not sure if it's just a delayed of delivery due to restrictions or there's really a supply shortage during this time because of the limited movements. I hope not.
