Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I'd prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I'd have to order and wait a few days to get...So I'm wondering what some of those things may be for you?

Saffron

While it's expensive, and this is a fairly low income area, I used to be able to get a couple of brands in-store.

But, because it's expensive, and this is a low income area, it became a great way to get easy money. You go to the grocery store, pocket a couple of containers, then sell them on ebay. That's enough money to get you to the end of the paycheck if you do it regularly. Enough people figured this out, and nobody carries it at all now. The only thing you can find is the badia, and even that isn't in every store in the county. And it ain't good saffron tbh.
