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?

Boot and shoe care products. If you're lucky, Target or whatever might carry one or two tins of medicre Kiwi shoe polish and maybe one type of leather conditioner. I remember having better selection at just the grocery store and being spoiled for options at any of the 4 or 5 proper shoe stores that used to be in every neighborhood.

Marks or any cobbler will have those.

The closest shoe repair place to me is 60 miles away these days 😔 It's not like I live in a small town, either! I remember when there was one in every second or third strip mall. It's not like it's tricky to order a bottle of Obenauf's online, but I miss being able to just be like, "I better swing off at this random place to pick some up while I'm thinking about it."
