Grab it while you can

Finding necessary staples is not a problem as Riyadh has many stores, including the French Carrefour, the Saudi Panda, the US Safeway, known here as Tamimi and the other French giant Euromarche.  However, one thing we’ve learned to do is that when we find/discover a favorite product, we grab a few as there is never a sure chance that it will be available the next time you go to the store.  

Best example for this is the laundry detergent: I’ve been using the Carrefour brand Savon de Marseilles liquid detergent soap because it’s natural and does not irritate sensitive skin.  Sometimes the store has two bottles, and then they are out for weeks on end until my stock at home runs low…  So when I spot them on the shelves, I grab a few in order to have some available in the laundry room!  I'd love to know what the cashier thinks as he's scanning the four or more bottles on his checkout belt!

Now, what is your favorite product and how much do you currently have on your shelves?
