The shopper must always be vigilant.

One thing I have noticed lately is that it is harder to find things on Amazon. The high end things come up easier than the lower priced items.

I just noticed that in "gloves."

I actually wanted a couple of dozen simple thick cotton gloves of a kind that has been around for centuries and I couldn't find them. These were for a temporary work crew. I had expected to find them for about $1.00 each in quantity. Anyway I went to Walmart and bought $2.00 leather palmed gloves, but I know if these are tossed into a washing machine they will deteriorate.

Later I went back to Amazon and tried some different keyword searches and found more cotton gloves that will probably do.
