oh, and my DH's theory that the MOST POPULAR items are highly likely to get dropped, "because it's so much bother re-stocking the popular stuff all the time... customers keep buying and emptying the shelves, so we have to work harder to keep these items in stock -- nah, let's drop 'em & save ourselves the work" and when some national corp. giant buys out your local chain and replaces LOCAL products with house-brand stuff from wherever they are home-based.
I think you've nailed it there, they stock more and more of what is cheaper to source. Meanwhile, the specialty items like powdered starch don't move as fast. If people can get it from an internet source, why bother taking up shelf space?
