I ordered a coffee grinder yesterday (8/31) at about 2 P.M. It will
be delivered today. I ordered one of those metal lemon/lime squeezers
about an hour after I ordered the coffee grinder. It will be here
tomorrow. The reason I didn't order anything until after 2 was
because my husband thought we should go out and see if I could get
what I wanted locally. Out of stock at one place and twice as costly
at another. Bah! Stay at home and shop and let the stuff come to
you.

I like to support local businesses, but often I can't. Amazon has most
everything at a good price and in stock. Malls are closing all over
these days. I buy from the seller that offers me the best deal for me.

Lemons at the Stop & Shop are 79 cents. At WaMart they are 35 cents.
Same size, same color.

What kind of coffee grinder did you get?

I'm not a Prime member, and it can take a week or MORE before
something I order ships. I REALLY try to buy locally before
I resort to Amazon.

Krups. Nothing fancy, just a kitchen tool. The one that died this
week is a Krups and I like it. I've had it for 8-10 years. I could
have gotten it from Costco.com but the delivery is slower.
I always get my lemons from Costco as I can't duplicate size or
quality elsewhere --

I used to be quite torn when I ordered from Amazon or other online
retailer, thinking I might be harming business at local merchants,
then came to believe that by shopping at any one local merchant over
other local ones could have a similar impact. I stopped fighting it.

I order 90% of my non-food items online these days. It just isn't
worth the effort to schlep around going from store to store looking
for exactly what I want or trying to get a better price.

The days are long gone when I could find better deals elsewhere than
on line... and Amazon is the best, there's rarely an item they don't
carry, and Prime is very well worth the price, driving from store to
store costs far more, is inconvenient, and driving is always a risk.
Rarely does a day pass I don't get something delivered from some
etailer, yesterday a 13' long fruit picker arrived from Amazon, now I
can pick the plums from the top third of my trees without a ladder.
Also Amazon allows you to link one prime account with all family
members at the same delivery address, different email, different
credit cards, matters not. I haven't been to a Maul for some thirty
years.... 9 times out of 10 they are out of stock, don't have your
size/color. I even bought the Rustoleum from Amazon, cost a dollar
less per can than Lowes.

I thought that Cash & Carry would have it. They had one lemon

around $12.

Now that's the one I won't do. I enjoy grocery shopping! I do take
the drudgery out though with some repeat items at a good price on
Amazon.

That's pretty much the future of retail. Everything is going to change. It's shaping up to be a big war. Amazon vs. Google/Walmart. Now that's going to be something! Well, unless nuclear armageddon befalls us - then it's not going to matter much anyway.

I use them a lot, especially since I am always getting credit with them
through Swagbucks.

I get some things online such as heavy cases of water and cat litter. And
it's cheaper for me to get some shelf stable things that way, plus I often
get Swagbucks for shopping and I redeem them for Amazon gift cards. I have
used Prime Now for groceries a few times. Mostly when I didn't feel up to
going out. Only problem was when they didn't deliver the almond milk and
that was rather needed for the smoothie that Angela wanted. She got all the
rest of the ingredients. Just not that.

I bought a metal citrus squeezer last winter and it works fine with
lemons and limes. It's not as if the things actually reams out the pulp
and juice. It us shaped to hold the halved fruit which is them squeezed.
I usually do it with the fruit pointing up, give it a good squeeze, open
it up and invert the fruit and give it a second squeeze. The second
squeeze gets quite a bit more juice.

They are good, but I don't usually like to have to buy that many.

Yup...same here...this past winter I'd even order hooch delivered to my door via Amazon Prime Now...at first I thought it was "decadent", but it was storming outside, and their price was fairly competitive. Sometimes I'll order fresh items delivered, very handy in a pinch.

I order most pantry staples online, and as someone else mentioned I've also ordered Rustoleum for a small painting job.

I'm usually too shot from work to have the energy to run around shopping. And I am car - less here in the city, so Amazon Prime is a great help...essential, in fact.

I recently visited a local Barnes & Noble to check out some stuff, I found the whole retail experience extremely annoying, like ten chummy clerks chirping at me every few minutes, "Can I help you...are you finding what you want?". I know they are well - intentioned, but I don't care for a lot of useless human interaction, makes me weary.

It is a once in a lifetime purchase. Since many models are combo, why
not? I'm trying this approach since I can no longer do the back and
forth twisting to ream a lemon because of rotator cuff problems.
And, actually, around here a lemon is most definitely not the same
size as a lime. Limes are tiny round things most of the year. We
don't live in lime country

The BJs lemons here are sold by weight, a 2 1/2 pound bag is $2.79,
how many depends on lemon size but usually 7-9. I've never been
disappointed in quality but occasionally I'll get a bag with very
pitty lemons. BJs here is also about 20 miles each way but my wife is
in that area a couple times a month so she does the BJs shopping, I
think I've only been to BJs twice. The lemons in town cost 2/99¢ but
are not as good as BJs.

I've got the combo lemon/lime squeezer exactly the one pictured
in the ad. I got mine at Bed, Bath, & Beyond and used one of
their $5 off coupons. It was around $10 after the discount.

Does it do a good job? Easy to use?

It does an excellent job on lemons and limes and takes a little
hand strength to get all the juice out. But nothing that will
make you into a cripple. :-)

Don't take offense but be sure and place the fruit with the cut
side down into the bowl portion of the juicer. When you look at
it most people's first inclination is to place the fruit into it
like you would place a cut piece of citrus in a bowl to be eaten.
Once the lemon or lime is in the juicer and you squeeze the fruit
it will just about turn wrong side out.

I have several things. A squeezer, a counter top type squeezer that works
with all citrus fruits and is great if I need a lot of juice, a screw in
plastic thing that allows me to get a little juice then seal it off, and a
reamer. I do like the reamer!

Lemons were super cheap when I lived in NY. Not sure why. I could get a
giant bag, about the size of a bed pillow for around $3.

I have a reamer and it works well but evidently not for someone
with physical issues. A squeezer could also be a problem with
some people. A juicer would do it but pain in the ass to clean
afterwards. I had one once and I used it once. Then I cleaned it
up and gave it away.

Was it Koko that suggested freezing citrus first? Makes good
sense as the freezing would break down cell walls and give you
more juice. I'm wondering if it would be better to zest first or
freeze first?

Also (thinking back to other discussions), around here lemons and
limes are all about the same size.

I will guess that you lived in NY circa 1910. :-|

I have one of those stand orange juice squeezers, works with all
citrus but I rarely use it as I rarely need more than the juice from a
sixth of a lemon. I got my favorite juicer for free, my right hand.

If you freeze lemons then you may as well use bottled lemon juice...
freezing lemons causes their juice to pick up the bitterness of the
pith.

In my experience, generally, limes are noticeably smaller and rounder,
about golf ball size... lime rinds are also thinner. Even though
limes are smaller they will give more juice than lemons because lemons
have a about three times thicker rind. We buy both, my wife prefers
limes, I prefer lemons. Keep in mind that there are different types
of limes as there are different types of lemons so you can't always
compare lemons to limes.

It's funny you say that, we were in Whole Foods yesterday and were a
bit startled by random employees asking us if we needed help with
anything or otherwise greeting us.

Then, at checkout, did we find everything?

I really don't need people calling out to me from 20 feet away like
I look lost. There were always people around before who could go
in the back to find me some escarole/whatever.

Meant to say, this is a new development since the Amazon acquisition.

That was how many years ago... all citrus used to be a lot less
expensive even five years ago... in the last few years lemon trees
have been suffering a disease so the supply is lower, therefore prices
are higher. Plant disease is the primary reason for high priced
produce of all kinds. Plant diseases are more insidious than human
diseases... you can't ask a lemon tree where does it hurt... by the
time plant diseases are noticeable they're already of epic dimension,
and very often there is no cure. Just like animals go extinct so do
plants.

Years ago, I walked into a clothing store in the mall. Person
constantly came back to me asking if I needed any help. If I
paused to look at something specific, he was right there trying
to convince me to buy it.

I walked out of that store for that very reason. If they had left
me alone, I probably would have spent some money there.

That right there keeps me out of boutique shops where there's
just you and a bored employee. Now I'm reminded of a guy at
a furniture store who Really wanted to help us find something.
Okay, what he really wanted was a commission but he was relentless.

Couldn't run out of there fast enough.

Case in point. Google the American Chestnut tree. Check out the
pics of how large they grew. A virus brought to this country in
the NY zoo killed them all off. very sad.

When I departed the NYC area lemons and limes cost a dollar for
fifteen, sometimes on sale 20 for a dollar. I used to shop for
produce at the Hispanic markets, there produce was always less
expensive, especially citrus. The "Compare" market was in
predominantly Hispanic areas... very ethnic stores that catered to
many ethnicities, besides foods from many Central American and South
American countries they also catered to Asian/Indian cooking. Those
types of stores are what I miss here. They have opened a lot of
stores in South Carolina:

I don't think a Compare market would make it here, the people I've met
are not into ethnic foods, they are very happy with TIAD Fast Food.
